Flashcards

Ontological Complexity

Physical culture encompasses different aspects like sport, exercise, and recreation, which are interconnected yet independent. Understanding these aspects requires flexible and evolving research approaches.

Contextual Analysis

Examining physical culture within its social, political, and economic contexts helps understand how meanings and practices evolve over time and are influenced by various factors.

Power and Politics in Physical Culture

Physical culture is a space where social hierarchies and power dynamics are created and challenged. Analyzing these dynamics aims to promote positive social change.

Objectification of the Body

Gross anatomy courses tend to treat the human body as a machine or object, neglecting its lived experiences and subjectivity.
