사회학적 관점에서의 몸연구와 스포츠페미니즘

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the postmodern society a body is no longer a passive corporal being but it has emerged as a personal `project` carefully cared and considered, By the tendency perceiving it a mean to reveal what one is, one`s identity. In accordance with this social trend, found rather pervasively in the more capitalized society and in younger generation, the body studies have just come in the social science field. This study was to examine what the body study be placed in the sports-feminism in a sense that it might be an effective component or tool for the woman identifying oneself. There are a couple of perspectives in studying the body. First, the biological view, having long traditional background, yet dominated much part by the social belief, mostly proved prejudices, has taken the body based on the biological analysis which has been brought about dozens of prejudices of both genders. Second, the sociological view rejects the perspective to explain and define an individual only by the biological, genetical determinants. They take much of the social circumstances and structures affecting the woman premising they are treated differently, sometimes discriminatively. They regard the body as the yield turned out by social values and environments. Third, the feministic perspective has analyzed the body as a conflicting field accepting of following a figure socially formed to be shaped. Studying the woman body is known to provide affluent suggestions for the woman and furthermore the man in sporting or/and in attitude of playing in sport, what critically affects in their participation. The body(studies) seems to locate the right spot where the two components of dualism `body` and `mind` meets. Investigating the `lived/embodied` body, especially, in sociological perspectives, would have the very probability to insight a way to bridge and reconstruct the previous frame and explanations. The woman`s lived/embodied body studying would help illuminating the social and traditional constraints worked as a block in taking part in sporting activities. It would also offer an opportunity to broaden the field of man study by mean of the stimulus of the other gender study.
