- it may or may not be a cli from a real boxing match
- disply of females body not a boxing match, they are in a studio, canvas behind them
- our preception today- we wouldnt see it as an erotisitized display of female bodies
- piroutte purpose was to show leg, this was about the display of female bodies
- we dont make our assumptions on the spot
- need to be reflective

Unit 01-B
What is it? What is it Good for?
Chapter 1:
Overview-Key Outcomes:
- Definitions and Explanations
o Sport, Sport sociology
o Society (context
o Culture→ Culture of sport
▪ Context is key
o Social construction
o Ideology→Power
- Clarification
o Sociology is not psychology (different questions, different perspectives)
▪ Psych may be interested in the motivational aspect of a individual
• Different perspective
o Investigate the water that is our culture
- Sociology- is focused on group aspect of sport
- Interested in power relationships
- For practical people it boils down to the question of inclusion and exclusion?
o Who gets to play
o Efficacy
o Inclusion and exclusion based on the power relation ship
o Groups operating in context
o Privileged and non privileged- effects of power relationship
- Sports and pa are related to the social and cultural contexts in which we live
o Racial issues versus gender issues- the context will change
o The context of the observation will change
o Race is usually connected to the color of someone’s skin- which provides a context but we
couldn’t look at out physical features to categorize race
- Sports and p.a. provide stories and images used to explain and evaluate these contexts
o We are all involved physically
- Sports and p.a. provide a window into culture and society
o →The tools (concepts) of sport sociology enable us to examine social like in context and
see connections between our lives and the larger social world
Definitions:
Sport Sociology:
- The study of social life, including all forms of interactions and relationships
- Study of social life in context
o Links between our biographies and the larger social world
o Focus on groups
▪ Groups in society are restricted to their limitations of society
▪ Gender, ethnic indent, economic class etc.
▪ Society changes over the legitimate contestation
▪ The degree of power- struggle (confrontation)
▪ Outcomes of the contestation
▪ We don’t assume that the power relationship is asymmetrical
▪ All about contestation
o Soccer e.g. trading and paying for soccer players- women players get traded as well but not
for close to the same amount of money
o All depends on the perspective of the context you adopt
o The context is not given
Culture:
- The ways of life people create as they participate in groups or society
- Emerges as people struggle over
o What is important in their lives
