Special edition on 'Visual Methods in Physical Culture'

Guest Editor: Dr Cassandra Phoenix

Though employed in areas such as visual anthropology for some time, the
last decade has

witnessed a significant growth in the use of visual data within
qualitative research more

generally. Such growth reflects a rising appreciation of the ubiquity of
imagery and visual

culture in every day life. Indeed, scholars working within a number of
different disciplines

have becoming increasingly aware that adopting visual methods has the
potential to further

develop our understanding of the social world. By encompassing a
multitude of forms

including photographs, videos, maps, diagrams, symbols and so forth,
images can provide

specific information about our existence. They can also act as powerful
indicators

regarding the multiple meanings embedded within our culture.

Given these points, it is interesting to note that one domain where the
use of visual

methods has been less well documented is that of physical culture.
Physical culture is

taken here to mean human physical movement occurring within recognised
cultural

domains such as sport, dance and, more broadly, outdoor and indoor
recreational activities

involving expression through physicality.



Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise, co-edited by Brett Smith,
invites contributions for a special edition on Visual Methods in
Physical Culture'. Empirical papers that harness the potential of visual
methods to deepen our understandings of physical culture are welcomed,
as are

theoretical papers that will add to the continued development of
theoretical frameworks

orientated to this form of research.
