“…8 Thus, transdisciplinary research groups need to be carefully selected with invitations extended to those who are reflexive of their personal ontological, axiological and epistemological assumptions, and the strengths and limitations of their disciplinary field, and most importantly, to those who recognize the potential in other ways of thinking about the subject under investigation. While acknowledging the 'political and epistemological difficulties of transcending disciplinary boundaries' (Evans & Davies, 2011, p. 265; also see Dö lling & Hark, 2000;Magill-Evans et al, 2002;Austin et al, 2008;Evans, Forthcoming), I also recognize the potential value of transdisciplinarity for helping us cross the social/biological divide, and developing more multidimensional understandings of moving bodies, including women's experiences of exercise-associated amenorrhea.…”

In this paper I call for 'new forms of thinking and new ways of theorizing' the complex relations between the biological and social in sport and physical culture. I illustrate the inseparability of our biological and social bodies in sport and physical culture via the case of exercise and female reproductive hormones. Inspired by feminist biologists and philosophers of science such as Lynda Birke and Elizabeth Grosz, I describe my current research project in which I am seeking to create space for female exercisers' (as distinct from female athletes) voices about their embodied experiences of exercise-associated amenorrhea. I offer reflections from my ongoing study and reveal a number of dilemmas that emerge as I consider how we might bring biology*and particularly hormones*back into conversations about women's moving bodies in non-reductionist and nondeterminist terms. I conclude by advocating the need for more transdisciplinary approaches to help us move toward more multidimensional understandings of the body in sport and physical culture.

“…The transdisciplinary operation of cultural studies, Douglas Kellner stipulated, draws on a range of fields to theorize the complexity and contradictions of media/culture/communications, moving from text to context while pushing boundaries of class, gender, race, ethnicity, and other identities (Kellner, 1988). Likewise, in women's and gender studies, Dö lling and Hark (Dö lling & Hark, 2000) associated TD with critical evaluation of terms, concepts, and methods that transgress disciplinary boundaries. And, in Canadian studies, Jill Vickers linked TD and anti-disciplinarity with movements that reject disciplinarity in whole or in part while raising questions of socio-political justice.…”

“…Convergence and divergence processes are exactly where disciplinary boundaries meet [17,24], for example, in empirical methodology of science can be applied to the social disciplines. Limits of the disciplines are similar to physical walls of territories, however, they need to be understood as certain social interaction products [9]. For some countries urban culture is more common, while for other -rural culture.…”

In order to understand meaningful landmarks for individuals and society, this article deals with the peculiarities of constructing disciplinary identity in the fi eld of physical education. On the basis of the works for constructing identities in the physical education context we were trying to look for manifestations of disciplinary identity. Based on quantitative data gathered in Lithuanian universities, we have analysed the physical education study fi eld from three directions: medicine and health, life sciences and education. In doing so, the provisions of the study participants interpreted by quantitative methods allowed us to distinguish four components of disciplinary identity: self-recognition, social recognition, satisfaction with the study fi eld and objective communication. Th e analysis demonstrates essential diff erences regarding groups of study fi elds and the results suggest that undergraduate students from diff erent study fi elds of physical education identify themselves diff erently and are acknowledged diff erently by their signifi cant others. Hoping to encourage self-recognition and reduce diff erences in academic recognition of the physical education study fi eld, students from the medical and health study fi eld should be provided with the widest possible discourse of social sciences and the humanities. Th is is a way of helping students to become more self-aware as professionals and more capable of crossing boundaries of the physical education discipline.
