A Site

In the context of social welfare austerity and non-state actors’ interventions into social life, an urban not-for-profit organization in the United States, Back on My Feet, uses the practice of running to engage those recovering from homelessness. Promoting messages of self-sufficiency, the organization centralizes the body as a site of investment and transformation. Doing so calls to the fore the social construction of ‘the homeless body’ and ‘the running body’. Within this ethnographic inquiry, participants in recovery who ran with the organization constructed moralized senses of self in relation to volunteers, organizers, and those who do not run, while in recovery. Their experiences compel consideration of how bodily constructions and practices reproduce morally underpinned, self-oriented associations with homeless and neoliberal discourses that obfuscate systemic causes of homelessness, pose challenges for well-intentioned voluntary or development organizations, and service the relief of the state from social responsibility.

Heuristic Devices

The terms habitus and field are useful heuristic devices for thinking about power relations in international studies. Habitus refers to a person’s taken-for-granted, unreflected—hence largely habitual—way of thinking and acting. The habitus is a “structuring structure” shaping understandings, attitudes, behavior, and the body. It is formed through the accumulated experience of people in different fields. Using fields to study the social world is to acknowledge that social life is highly differentiated. A field can be exceedingly varied in scope and scale. A family, a village, a market, an organization, or a profession may be conceptualized as a field provided it develops its own organizing logic around a stake at stake. Each field is marked by its own taken-for-granted understanding of the world, implicit and explicit rules of behavior, and valuation of what confers power onto someone: that is, what counts as “capital.” The analysis of power through the habitus/field makes it possible to transcend the distinctions between the material and the “ideational” as well as between the individual and the structural. Moreover, working with habitus/field in international studies problematizes the role played by central organizing divides, such as the inside/outside and the public/private; and can uncover politics not primarily structured by these divides. Developing research drawing on habitus/field in international studies will be worthwhile for international studies scholars wishing to raise and answer questions about symbolic power/violence.

The One

The paper compares Pierre Bourdieu?s sociological approach with the one developed by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann. The aim of the paper is to identify the complementarities and incongruences of these approaches. The main similarity consists in the intention to ?dialectically? overcome/bridge the gap between ?objectivism? and ?subjectivism? in social theory. Another parallel includes a negative attitude towards the relativistic tendencies of postmodernism. These authors share the thematization of: the body as a locus of social influences, the centrality of language in social life, the social functions of knowledge, and the importance of power in social relations. Differences in theorizing are attributed to the different intellectual, theoretical, and socio-cultural contexts in which these scientists operated. The divergences of these theoretical approaches become evident when one examines the different meaning and significance attached to the concepts of individuation, structure, action, habitus and habitualization, structure of relevance and relation of common-sense and scientific knowledge. Finally, there is a visible difference in political views: Bourdieu was a critic ?from the left,? while Berger and Luckmann were self-proclaimed liberal conservatives.

<p><em>The social life of the Hindu community in Bali cannot be separated from the ins and outs of work which then reflects the profession of the people who claim it. Professions in the social life of society will give birth to something called the professional group. This professional group will then have a social impact in the form of life strata in society. There is a separation between one profession and another, which then gives birth to a concept of ideas called the Catur Varṇa. In recent years there has been a widespread dualism of perspectives on the meaning of this Catur Varṇa concept. Some of them stated that this concept was a tradition passed down from generation to generation and there were also those who stated that this concept was an idea to organize the social life of Balinese people. The Catur Varṇa concept itself can be understood through literature which gives birth to a reality and facts. The concept of Catur Varṇa has been degraded due to the cognitive bias of the Balinese Hindu community in Bali in embodying the meaning of this concept. So that this concept does not give birth to social life that is more organized but instead creates a social problem that causes inequality in the body of community life. This inequality must be corrected immediately so that it does not become a tradition that has increasingly worsened the atmosphere of social life in Bali. Because today the concept of Catur Varṇa is consciously shifting meaning into a new concept that we have previously called the term Catur Wangsa.</em></p>

The research examines self-handicapping levels of prospective teachers according to sports activity variables. The concept of self-handicapping, which is also referred as self-sabotage in the literature, is a mechanism developed by individuals to protect their selves when they cannot achieve a job or when they experience a sense of insufficiency. It is a fact that doing sports has benefits on individuals’ mental, physical, emotional, social and psychological health. This research, which presumes the possible relationship between self-handicapping levels of prospect teachers and doing sports, is conducted with relational screening model. The study group consisted of 584 prospective teachers, 359 female and 225 male, studying at Ataturk University Kazim Karabekir Faculty of Education, Erzurum, Turkey, in the academic year of 2018-2019. The data were collected with the “Self-handicapping Scale” and the personal information form prepared by the researcher. The scale was developed by Jones and Rhodewalt (1982) and its Turkish validation and reliability made by Akın (2012). SPSS 21 package program was used to analyze the data. In the analysis of the data, frequency distribution was used to determine the demographic characteristics, the Independent Samples T test was used to examine differentiation status between two independent variables and self-handicapping, and the One Way Anova analysis tests were conducted to examine differentiation status between more than two variables and self-handicapping. All these tests were analyzed in SPSS 21 package program and the significance was evaluated at p<0,05 level.Findings of the study showed that there was a significant difference between self-handicapping levels of the prospective teachers and gender, family structure, monthly income level, class level and sports activity status. It was concluded that the prospective teachers who were doing sports activities had low self-handicapping levels.Based on the conclusion that sports activities have a positive effect on self-handicapping levels of prospective teachers, and in order to minimize their self-handicapping levels both in education and social life, the study encourages prospective teachers to engage in different branches of sports according to their interest and talents and offers university administrators to provide sports facilities that the students can use.

Adaptation To College

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a difference according to doing sports at a level of university adaptation. A total of 230 participants (1st year students; 108 female/122male), studying at Sakarya University in the 2015-2016 academic year, at a faculty of sports science, education, engineering, economics and administrative sciences, participated to the research. In order to determine university adaptation level of the students, The Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire by Baker and Siryk (1999) was used. The adaptation questionnaire consists of four sub-dimensions. These; Social, academic, personal-sensory and institutional adaptation. The personal information form prepared by the researchers was used to determine the demographic information of the students. According to the results of the statistical data, it is seen that the students who play sports are more difficult in their general adaptations to the university and in the social and academic adaptation sub-dimensions than those who do not. For institutional adjustment and sensory adjustment sub-dimensions, there was no significant difference between athletes and non-athletes. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı; üniversiteye uyum sağlama düzeyinde öğrencilerin spor yapıp yapmama durumlarına göre farklılık olup olmadığını incelemektir. Çalışma Sakarya üniversitesinde 2015-2016 öğretim yılında spor bilimleri fakültesi, eğitim fakültesi, mühendislik fakültesi, iktisadi idari bilimler ve fen edebiyat fakültesinin üniversite 1.sınıf öğrencilerinden 108 kadın 122 erkek olmak üzere toplam 230 öğrenci üzerinde yapılmıştır. Öğrencilerin üniversiteye uyum düzeylerini belirlemek için Baker ve Siryk 1999 yılında düzenlediği öğrencilerin üniversiteye uyum anketi kullanılmıştır. Uyum anketi dört alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Bunlar; sosyal uyum, akademik uyum, kişisel-duysal uyum ve kurumsal uyumdan oluşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin demografik bilgilerini belirlemek için araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel verilerin sonucuna göre spor yapan öğrencilerin hem üniversiteye genel uyumlarında hem de sosyal ve akademik uyum alt boyutlarında spor yapmayanlara göre daha çok zorlandıkları görülmüştür. Kurumsal uyum ve duysal uyum alt boyutları için ise spor yapan ve yapmayan öğrenciler arasında anlamlı bir fark görülmemiştir.

ResumoA escola, enquanto espaço de formação, tem como função social transmitir o saber sistematizado e fornecer acesso para as mais distintas áreas do conhecimento, entre essas a Educação Fìsica, a qual tem como objeto de estudo o corpo em movimento e possui uma função social a cumprir em toda a Educação Básica, inclusive, as práticas esportivas presentes nas aulas. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo é compreender como a prática esportiva inclusiva, na escola, pode contribuir para a vida social do aluno, por meio de uma revisão integrativa de artigos publicados de 2010 a 2020 nas bases de dados: Lilacs, SciELO, DOAJ e Dialnet através das combinações dos descritores exatos e sinônimos, em português e em inglês, pelos termos: “esportes”, “inclusão” e “escola”. A busca resultou em uma amostra final de dez artigos e permitiu observar que há um consenso entre os autores de que a prática esportiva contribui, significativamente, com a inclusão dos alunos no meio social, já que ocorrem interações que podem ser levadas ao contexto comunitário, porém, ainda assim, existem autores que não acreditam que isso aconteça, além de poucos estudos que tratem da temática “inclusão”, portanto, digna de ser amplamente explorada. Como contribuições, o estudo sugere que pesquisas futuras possam partir para o campo da mensuração para complementar as conclusões qualitativas, além disso, pode servir como reflexão para os estudiosos encontrarem caminhos que ampliem o conhecimento acerca do assunto. Palavras-chave: Esportes. Inclusão. Escola. AbstractThe school as a training space has the social function of transmitting systematized knowledge and providing access to the most different areas of knowledge, among them Physical Education, which has the body in motion as its object of study and has a social function to fulfill throughout basic education, including sports practices present in classes. Thus, the aim of this study is to understand how inclusive sports practice at school can contribute to the student's social life through an integrative review of articles published from 2010 to 2020 in the Lilacs, SciELO, DOAJ and Dialnet databases through combinations of the exact and synonymous descriptors in Portuguese and in English by the terms “sports”, “inclusion” and “school”. The search resulted in a final sample of 10 articles and allowed us to observe that there is a consensus among the authors that sports practice contributes significantly to the students’ inclusion in the social environment, since that interactions occur that can be taken to the community context, even though, there are authors who do not believe this happens, in addition to the few studies that deal with the theme “inclusion”, therefore, worthy of being widely explored. As contributions, the study suggests that future research may move into the field of measurement to complement qualitative conclusions, in addition, it can serve as a reflection for the students to find ways that expand knowledge on the subject. Keywords: Sports. Inclusion. School.
