“…The transcribed interviews were read and reread, listened to and relistened to with our eyes, ears, and other senses on queer(ing) acts, moments, and spaces. Informed and inspired by the interview stories, I (the first author) then engendered a storyteller position from which I created three plots, or storylines, that could hold the identified queerings and display a contextual meaning (see Linghede, Larsson, & Redelius, 2015, for a more thorough illustration of the process of transforming interviews into short stories). In the writing of the stories, I juxtaposed quotes from different informants and interweaved these with my imagination and knowledge of the field.…”

Inspired by calls for an emphasis on the “potentiality of the present” in feminist and queer (sport) studies, this article explores queering acts, moments, and spaces in stories of athletes living nonstraight. To do this, we use Haraway’s and Braidotti’s notion of figuration and creative analytical writing. With one foot rooted in what is, our three figurations of the queering athlete take us into and beyond heteronormativity to what can be(come). Two figurations enact how sex segregation and gender norms in sports can serve as conditions of possibilities that open up for other-worlds-in-the-making and the third works sexuality against identity and queers the hetero–homo binary. They are figurations—in form and content—of a “science of the possibility of science.”

“…Arguably, Karin's story is emotional, compelling, complicated, and powerful. Karin and I both believe the story has potential to be heard, felt, and evoke reader engagement; to empower, problematize, create understanding, and encourage change (Linghede et al, 2016;McMahon & Penney, 2011;Owton & Sparkes, 2015). Narrative case study methods bring Karin's story to the fore; giving nuances, contradictions, and complexity space and justice to be represented in depth and detail.…”

“…Multiple representations of stories drawing on Karin's case is thus possible. Although I call it 'Karin's story,' this study represents one story--not 'The story' (Linghede et al, 2016;Smith & Sparkes, 2009).…”

“…The interview transcriptions were read and re-read with my eyes, ears and other senses on human-horse relations and intersectionality. Informed and inspired by the interview stories (as well as my bodily memories of the interview sessions) I then engendered a playwright/storyteller position from which I created two 'scenes', that could hold the identified intra-actions and display a contextual meaning (see Linghede et al, 2015 for a more thorough illustration of the process of transforming interviews into literary pieces). Based on the interview material, I created two dialogues written as an ongoing conversation between me and six characters (Adam, Bobby, Carl, Daniel, Eric and Filip), on a fictive thematic day about boys and equestrian sports.…”

Becoming horseboy(s) – human-horse relations and intersectionality in equiscapes

Leisure studies have given scant regard to human-animal relations and intersectionality. In this paper, I respond to calls for research analysing leisure as a complex, multispecies phenomenon by exploring humanhorse relations and intersectionality in boy's/men's equestrian stories through the concept of intra-activity and creative analytical writing. Thinking and writing through intra-activity brings insights into the coconstitution of humans and horses, as well as the entanglement of other power relations and social categories. The paper illustrates that becoming horseboy(s) is a process of material-discursive intra-activity where boys/ men, by transcending the human-animal divide simultaneously transcend the female-male/masculine-feminine divide. Thus, engaging materially with horses can allow and encourage boys/men to be less constrained by dominant gender discourses. The paper also illustrates the importance of studying gender, not as a separate or primary category of privilege or inequality, but as one that is entangled with race, class, sexuality, age and other animals. I finally argue that bringing horses, as well as discourses, into discussions of the enactment of gender in leisure landscapes offers a productive site for elaborating the much-debated question, posed by feminist posthumanists, of the agency of matter.
