“…As Andrews (2008) has noted, there has been the emergence of a powerful neopositivist health agenda within many university kinesiology/physical activity/sport and health departments wherein research protocols are governed by traditional 'scientific' methods, with funding coming from the private, profit-seeking sector (see also Atkinson, 2011). The important contribution the sociology of sport can make, not least in the study of sport from the physical science disciplines, is necessary given their tendency to neglect the individual and the social; however, the sociology of sport should not be seen as a handmaiden to the sport sciences.…”

International Review for the Sociology of Sport

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The International Review for the Sociology of Sport, the Journal of Sport and Social Issues and Sociology of Sport Journal have individually and collectively been subject to a systematic content analysis. By focusing on substantive research papers published in these three journals over a 25-year time period it is possible to identify the topics that have featured within the sociology of sport. The purpose of the study was to identify the dominant themes, sports, countries, methodological frameworks and theoretical perspectives that have appeared in the research papers published in these three journals. Using the terms, identified by the author(s), that appear in the paper's title, abstract and/or listed as a key word, subject term or geographical term, a baseline is established to reflect on the development of the sub-discipline as represented by the content of these three journals. It is suggested that the findings illustrate what many of the more experienced practitioners in the field may have felt subjectively. On the basis of this systematic, empirical study it is now possible to identify those areas have received extensive coverage and those which are underresearched within the sociology of sport. The findings are used to inform a discussion of the role of academic journals and the recent contributions made by Michael Silk, David Andrews, Michael Atkinson and Dominic Malcolm on the past, present and future of the 'sociology of sport'.

“…Así, por ejemplo, Tinning (2008) muestra la importancia de la pedagogía en la kinesiología por su capacidad de integrar diferentes materias básicas (como biología humana y antropología social); Hopper y otros (2008) reivindican la llegada de métodos cualitativos no positivistas a las ciencias sociales de la kinesiología, del mismo modo que comienza a tener fuerza en las ciencias sociales en general. Con mayor radicalidad se manifiesta Andrews (2008) al afirmar que en el corazón de la crisis de la kinegiología estaba el excesivo dominio de la metodología positivista, cuantitativa y predictiva, apostando por las soluciones del postpositivismo, cualitativo e interpretativo. En la misma línea Chunlei Lu y otros (2009) proponen la unión de la epistemología occidental positivista con la epistemología cualitativa oriental.…”

RESUMENEn este artículo estudiamos la disputa epistemológica y pedagógica sobre la kinesiología/educación física que ha tenido lugar en las universidades de Estados Unidos desde 1990 hasta la actualidad. Hemos recogido el pensamiento de una muestra amplia de autores involucrados, con el propósito de obtener una visión de conjunto de un proceso que, de acuerdo con Morrow (2006), trata de esclarecer ¿de dónde venimos?, ¿qué somos?, ¿a dónde vamos? Tras el cotejo y análisis de la documentación más relevante concluimos que el periodo 1990-2013, caracterizado por una enconada pugna de paradigmas -en la que han estado implicados humanistas, positivistas, crosdisciplinaristas y subdisciplinaristas-, ha dado como resultado el dominio del paradigma integrador de Kretchmar (2007Kretchmar ( , 2008.

“…Research, teaching and academic performativity and legitimacy have become infused with one of the most significant irrationalities of higher education rationality: namely, an epistemological empirical calculability that for the most part has embraced the doctrines and standards of logical positivism ii and its correlative, constrictive curricular efficiency (see especially Andrews, 2008;Bairner, 2012;Gill, 2007). As Ingham and Donnelly opined (1990, p. 59), humanistic knowledge has definitely suffered at the hands of "technocratic" scientific knowledge currently privileged within an epistemological prestige hierarchy that frames the field.…”

“…However, this is a far from integrated field. Indeed, in its current iteration, it is a field fraught with hyperfragmentation and hyperspecialization in which there is instantiated an epistemological hierarchy that privileges positivist over postpositivist, quantitative over qualitative, and predictive over interpretive ways of knowing (see Andrews, 2008).…”

Within this article, we critically reflect on the production and reproduction of knowledge(s) within the academic study of sport—a field dominated (to its detriment) by self-destructive versions of reductionist science that (subconsciously) act as insidious components of the social and economic condition that privileges “state” science and fail to do justice to the potentialities of “the physical” in overcoming social, political, and health inequalities. To counter such regressive orthodoxies, we focus on a corporeal/technoslow approach to the curriculum/pedagogy in an effort to initiate dialogue about a more progressive and democratic social science of sport, leisure, and physical cultures—a transgressive pedagogy that can encourage transformation and the political potentialities of “the physical.”
