Abstract
In this article, I review and revive the concept of post-sport in the intersecting contexts of oceanic bluespace and Māori waka ama [outrigger canoe] paddling. In doing so, I seek to achieve two objectives: first, to enrich understanding of the human–nature interaction in bluespaces and, second, to contribute to an indigenous reading of post-sport experiences. Drawing on ethnographic and interview data from waka ama paddling in oceanic bluespaces, I identify two instances where sets of boundaries common in sport studies—the boundaries between human and nature, and between sport and physical culture—are challenged and transgressed. Furthermore, I reflect on the limitation of applying post-sport in this study and propose a potentially new perspective to conceptualize post-sport for future research.
在这篇文章中,我在海洋蓝色空间和Māori waka ama[伸出的独木舟]划桨的交叉背景下回顾和复兴后运动的概念。在这样做的过程中,我试图实现两个目标:第一,丰富对蓝色空间中人与自然互动的理解,第二,为对后运动体验的本土阅读做出贡献。我从waka ama在海洋蓝色空间中划桨的民族志和访谈数据中发现了两个例子,在这些例子中,体育研究中常见的边界——人与自然之间的边界,以及运动与体育文化之间的边界——受到了挑战和超越。此外,我反思了在本研究中应用后运动的局限性,并为未来的研究提出了一个潜在的新视角来概念化后运动。
