sporting embodiment sports studies and the continuing promise of phenomenology
Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise, 2009Co-Authors: Jacquelyn AllencollinsonAbstract:Whilst in recent years sports studies have addressed the calls ‘to bring the body back in’ to theorisations of sport and physical activity, the ‘promise of phenomenology’ remains largely under‐realised with regard to sporting embodiment. Relatively few accounts are grounded in the ‘flesh’ of the lived sporting body, and phenomenology offers a powerful framework for such analysis. A wide‐ranging, multi‐stranded and interpretatively contested perspective phenomenology in general has been taken up and utilised in very different ways within different disciplinary fields. The purpose of this article is to consider some selected phenomenological threads, key qualities of the phenomenological method and the potential for existentialist phenomenology in particular to contribute fresh perspectives to the Sociological Study of embodiment in sport and exercise. It offers one way to convey the ‘essences’, corporeal immediacy and textured sensuosity of the lived sporting body. The use of interpretative phenomenologica...

Social Structure and the Production, Reproduction and Durability of Health Inequalities
Social Theory & Health, 2007Co-Authors: Graham ScamblerAbstract:This paper is based on the premise that the concept of social structure so familiar during the heyday of classical sociology has been neglected in the contemporary Sociological Study of health inequalities. After a brief preliminary discourse on the structuring of agency, a number of published models are introduced and some of their key limitations debated. The framework for a more Sociologically progressive research programme is then ventured, building on the author's critical realist and critical theoretical approach to the changing dynamic of class relations of the economy and command relations of the state and to the changeable distribution of asset flows. The concepts of ‘alienation’, ‘surveillance’ and ‘aspirational consumerism’ are used.

the Sociological Study of stress an analysis and critique of the stress process model
European Journal of Mental Health, 2017Co-Authors: Anson AuAbstract:The stress process model in the Sociological Study of stress has changed over the thirty years of its use, developed continually to reflect changes in society and to include intellectual refinement. This paper represents a review that aims to do the same, filling the gaps in the original model with the inclusion of major developments in its structure and new social dimensions. An examination of the model’s key components reveals: its causes and manifestations, the intervention of resources that moderate its effects, and its consequences on an individual in terms of mental health and social adversities. In visitation of the dynamics of the stress process, I present a critical analysis that involves an investigation of the findings of research literature while considering recent trends, including the decline of the nuclear family and the influence of non-Western cultures among immigrants and minority groups. Thus, asserted on the case that the considerations undertaken by literature are again at a point requiring intellectual reform, this critique endeavours to articulate an updated, foundational version of the original model and to offer appraisals that could lend themselves as points for further development and Study.

queers bodies and postmodern sexualities a note on revisiting the sexual in symbolic interactionism
Qualitative Sociology, 2003Co-Authors: Ken PlummerAbstract:This article reflects on the linkage between developments in symbolic interactionist theory over the past thirty years and the Sociological Study of the social construction of sexualities. After some personal reflections on the development of the theory, four main themes are highlighted: the links to postmodernism and queer theory; the paths to new research styles; some internal problems with the theory; and the need to reinstall the importance of the body. The article concludes that symbolic interactionism remains a major approach to the Study of sexuality.
