The Contest Paradox.Yuval Eylon - forthcoming - Sport, Ethics and Philosophy:1-16.details The paper introduces the “Contest Paradox”: on the one hand, rational competitors employ the most effective means to achieve the constitutive end of games - winning; On the other hand, apparently rational competitors often employ means that are sub-optimal for winning, e.g., playing beautifully or fairly. Nevertheless, the actions of such competitors are viewed as rational. Are such competitors rational? I reject the possibility of resolving the paradox by appealing to additional ends or norms to winning, such as playing sportingly. (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
A Cultural Phenomenology of Qigong: Qi Experience and the Learning of a Somatic Mode of Attention.Alessandro Lazzarelli - 2023 - Anthropology of Consciousness 34 (1):97-129.details In Chinese body culture, the construct of qi 氣—literally translated as breath or energy—is at the heart of several programs of self‐cultivation, as well as other domains of bodily knowledge related to the subjective and inter‐subjective realm of everyday life.

This in turn draws the focus towards sensory deprivation, bodily suffering and overcoming, to the exclusion of the pleasures of swimming, beyond the expected ones such as the challenge of swim completion.

Attentive hands: The coexistence of digital and analog attentions in children's sports.Trygve B. Broch - 2024 - Anthropology of Consciousness 35 (2):159-170.details Through an extended ethnography of a sports team of boys growing from 7 to 11 years old, I explore Norwegian parents' anxieties about the digital world encroaching on their children's lives. I compare parents' monitoring of their children's (non)digital leisure activities with how kids interact (non)digitally. On the surface, as parents observe how their children's bodies move from screens to sports, they see their kids' attentive hands shifting focus from electronic gaming and screen swiping to a more welcomed ballplaying and (...)
