Claiming Space: Aboriginal Students within School Landscapes

There is an emerging body of theoretical, historical and design research that examines the ways in which race and cultural identity are understood to be produced and represented in the landscape. Yet, there remains a dearth of research examining both the historic and contemporary effects of race upon the development of school geographies. This paper has two broad purposes. It highlights the experiential aspects of racialized geographies within schools and, at the same time, it grapples with the processes that maintain or challenge the spatial conditions for the construction of whiteness. Drawing upon in-depth case study research this paper highlights the experiences of Aboriginal students and staff at four different schools, with a particular focus on cross-cultural schools, in Manitoba, Canada

“PERCEBER O QUE ENQUADRA O NOSSO OLHAR”: PROCURANDO HISTÓRIAS SOBRE LUTADORAS NEGRAS NOS PRIMÓRDIOS DO BOXE

Em seguida, empregando algumas das táticas de historiadora desconstrucionista, analiso e critico o apagamento de lutadoras mulheres negras da história do boxe através de uma análise de várias fontes escritas sobre pugilismo. Para retificar este duradouro silêncio e exclusão, apresento um breve relato de algumas boxeadoras negras entre o fim do século XIX e meados do século XX.

First, I examine the sources, practices, and evidence that have constituted historical facts on women's boxing. Then, employing some of the tactics of a deconstructive historian, I examine and critique the erasure of black female combatants from boxing history through an examination of various written sources about pugilism. To rectify this longstanding silence and exclusion, I provide a brief account of some black female boxers from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries. This paper draws from mainstream and African-American newspapers, U.S. boxing periodicals, and a sample of scholarly and popular literature on the history of boxing.Keywords: African American; women; boxing; deconstructionist history

Feminist Knowledges as Interventions in Physical Cultures

This collection explores how feminist knowledges work as interventions in physical cultures and recognizes the considerable contribution of feminist theories and methodologies in understanding the power relations implicated in embodied movement. Our introductory piece weaves together questions about the gendered formation of physical cultures (across leisure, sport, the arts, tourism, well-being, and various embodied practices) with key issues raised by contributing authors, from disciplinary perspectives to theory-method approaches. Exploring questions of digital and physical cultures, more-than-human relations, post- and decolonial ways of knowing, and contemporary onto-epistemologies, this feminist collection aims to contribute to the movement of ideas within and across physical cultural studies. Bringing together diverse perspectives around our common focus we entangle physical cultures with a range of gendered problematizations and interventions that produce different ways of knowing, imagining and doing feminisms.Full Tex

Geographies of gender, sexuality and race : reframing the focus on space in sport sociology

Réflexion théorique sur la recherche en sociologie du sport. Sport et espace : pour une étude plus précise de la géographie des relations sociales en sociologie du sport.

The organization of diversity in a boxing club : Governmentality and entangled rationalities

This study answers a recent call for research on the complexity, locality, and use of power in the governing of diversity in organizations. We used the concepts of governmentally and of governing sameness and difference to explore multiple and heterogeneous ways of regulating gender diversity in organizations. Governmentally was defined as interrelated ways of reasoning and of using technologies of power within a boxing organization. We found that in their management of the full participation of women, participants used both sport and gender rationalities, each of which relied on different technologies of power in specific settings. Ambiguous meanings were strategically used to manage the participation of women in boxing and to maintain heroic masculine practices
