20.500.12556/RUL-165877 Reflections on modern physical activity how can Graeber’s ideas help us to reconceptualise it and increase the value of play? Drawing on some broader social processes, the main purpose of this paper is to argue that some modern conceptualisations and understandings of physical activity can go hand in hand with some modern conceptualisations and understandings of work. This may be helpful in explaining both the discontent that exists in this context and the numerous, but repeatedly unsuccessful, attempts to promote physical activity at the mass level. In the context of neoliberal society, we show how various forms of physical activity have evolved from fundamentally playful activities, fun and pleasurable in themselves, to an instrumentalised and commodified moral obligation. Such a thematisation is linked later in the article to Graeber’s concept of ‘bullshitisation’, which also provides a starting point for a different, potentially emancipatory conceptualisation of physical activity, in which play, as understood in some philosophical examinations, can occupy a central place. sport physical activity exercise medicalisation neoliberalism play šport telesna aktivnost telovadba vadba medikalizacija neoliberalizem igra true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-12-12 13:41:58 2024-12-12 13:41:58 2024-12-13 03:57:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 105–122 no. 1 Vol. 28 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796.001 1743-0445 10.1080/17430437.2024.2344774 194274051 Reflections_on_modern_physical_activity__how_can_Graeber_s_ideas_help_us_to_reconceptualise_it_and_increase_the_value_of_play_.pdf Reflections_on_modern_physical_activity__how_can_Graeber_s_ideas_help_us_to_reconceptualise_it_and_increase_the_value_of_play_.pdf 1 47E3B21717AFBCD116F315706E67FECE f54c9fb1a3bbb82a052ea5a37227b3def519eec45dce4eab52a2ea68d45e2ac4 54bffd1a-b886-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197145 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17430437.2024.2344774 0 f971a930-b885-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197144 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
