Diaspora as aesthetic formation: community sports events and the making of a Somali diaspora

This paper uses the concept of aesthetic formation to examine the practices through which diasporic imaginations become tangible and experienced as ‘real’. The authors interpret sport as an embodied aesthetic practice through which diasporas materialise, with important implications for identification and belonging. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork on a transnational community-based sports event, the Amsterdam Futsal Tournament, the paper discusses how articulations of Somali diasporism become tangible and embodied in subjects who participate in this event. The authors conclude that these materialisation practices can simultaneously elicit multiple forms and levels of belonging that also foster a sense of integration and belonging to the nation.     

The British Asian Muslim male sport participation puzzle: an exploration of implications for sport development policy and practice

The purpose of this study is to explore intersections between religion, faith and social identity with regards to their impact on either promoting or preventing sport participation amongst self-identified British Asian Muslim males living in Birmingham (West Midlands of the UK) aged 16–25 years old. The research questions around this topic of study are to explore how interpretations of Islamic faith promote or prevent sport participation amongst young Muslim males. Secondly, the paper will examine the perspectives of Muslim male participants in relation to sport to identify factors determining sport participation. Finally, the study will consider implications for policy and practice in sport development. The study drew upon seven in-depth, semi-structured interviews with Muslim males aged 16–25 years old and applied a thematic analysis and coding methodology to unpick the key dimensions and findings from the data. Findings from the study indicate the complexity of young Muslim male sport participation contexts, dynamics in decision-making, family influence and perceptions held about other communities and their own. The study draws out key implications for agencies in sport development that seek to encourage sport participation cutting across school, community, local government and national governing body partnerships specifically considering Islamic faith communities.     

‘Just kids playing sport (in a chair)’: experiences of children,families and stakeholders attending a wheelchair sports club

Children who use wheelchairs have few opportunities to play sport with their able-bodied peers and siblings. This appreciative, qualitative study explored the experiences of children, families and stakeholders at a wheelchair sports club. Participant observation, research activities, focus groups and interviews were used. Sixty-three people participated (37 children, 14 stakeholders, 10 parents, two older siblings). Thematic analysis identified one unifying theme (realising potential) and four main themes: invisibility of disability; ambivalence and attraction of the chair; fun and fellowship; and thrills and skills. The Cheetahs created opportunities for meaningful participation in wheelchair sports for children with and without disabilities.     

村寨歌舞展演的路径选择——元阳县箐口村哈尼族歌舞展演的经济人类学考察

基于四年多对元阳县箐口村哈尼族歌舞展演活动的田野观察,本文简要呈现了文艺队的发展历程及存在的问题,认为从日常生活及仪式中抽离出来的"为展演的"歌舞,在现代旅游背景下已经成为民族文化产品.表达原有价值观念的减弱及经济利益诉求的加大是这些歌舞活动意义变化的基本方面.村民最终成为乡村文化产业发展的主体,展演者报酬递增制度的建立及完善是这类艺术获得发展的重要路径.

舞曲乐府诗的文体特征探讨

舞曲歌辞是汉唐乐府诗的一个重要类别，与舞蹈艺术结合，是其有别于其他类乐府诗的重要特征。在舞曲创作背景、表演情境的影响下，大多舞歌文本重叙述事件、描写场面，具有很强的故事性，其语言具有指向受众的内在要求。同时受舞曲来源影响，舞歌在一定程度上仍然保留着民间歌舞的色彩，呈显雅俗并存状态。
