“…In contrast, the value of running a marathon is more closely connected with stamina and a marathon runner who took a physical stamina enhancement might be accused of missing/undermining the point of marathons or being motivated by extrinsic incentives. Arguably, what makes chess valuable is more comparable to what makes art worthwhile, than to what makes running marathons valuable (for a discussion of chess as an art form, or of the aesthetic aspects of chess see, e.g., [30]). 10 If so, using neurointerventions to enhance mental stamina would not seem to undermine or to show a lack of commitment to the value of chess.…”

“…166 2010) och medan pedagogiken på senare tid ägnat åtskillig möda åt att kartlägga den av många önskade men efter vad det verkar tveksamma nyttan av schackspelande sett ur ett lärandeperspektiv (Sala & Gobet 2016, så är den mer snävt sociologiska litteraturen om schack begränsad (jämför Puddephatt & Fine 2013). Den litteratur som ändå finns är i stor utsträckning symboliskt interaktionistiskt och etnografiskt orienterad och undersöker ofta den faktiska sociala interaktionen över schackbrädetockså online och per korrespondens -och i schackklubbar (Fine 2015;Persson 2015;Aycock 1990Aycock , 1992Bernard 2003;Desjarlais 2011;Puddephatt 2008), och den kan härvidlag i någon mån kompletteras med sociologiskt relevanta, etnografiskt orienterade och många gånger djupt inträngande journalistiska arbeten (Hallman 2003;Hoffman 2007;Weinreb 2007).…”

What can a theory of chess learn from sociology? And what can sociology learn from chess? This article examines the contribution of Scandinavian sociologists Dag Østerberg and Johan Asplund on chess and sociology in order to better understand chess and, to some degree, the sociologies of Østerberg and Asplund. Developing the concept of tertius as a necessary third quasi actor mediating between ego and alter, the article also contributes to a general sociological theory of games. The game is analysed as a form of interaction where each player plays (i) with tertius against the opponent, and (ii) with the opponent against tertius. The article ends by arguing that tertius could be a valuable concept for sociological theory.

Exercise as a poisoned elixir: inactivity, inequality and intervention

In this article we theorise and explain Exercise is Medicine (EiM), as indicative of broader physical activity (PA) health promotion, from a sociological perspective through the lens of health equity. Data were collected through two independent ethnographic studies that bookend the EiM endeavour: the production of knowledge in the laboratory, and the creation and implementation of health policy and PA interventions. First, we demonstrate how conceptualising exercise as medicine assumes narrow pathology and (prescribed) solution a priori, which has given rise to a new form of movement intellectuals (Turner 2012). Within such context we explain how the study of physical (in)activity (especially by exercise scientists) is shaped by broader social and political contexts of the university sector and disciplinary legitimacy produced through alignment with other (medical) institutions. Second, we review the 'causes of the causes' of ill-health and wider social determinants of health as related to exercise. Presenting exercise as a therapy of freedom (Rose 1999) that is to some extent epiphenomenal (Coalter 2013) we examine the lifestyle drift (Hunter et al. 2010) which inhibits equitable access to this health promoting behaviour. We then outline an original qualitative methodological development: duoethnographic creative nonfiction, which has enabled the synthesis of two independent ethnographic studies. Findings of this accessible and engaging methodology, in the form of two stories, show the need for an alternative approach that values activity, prioritises equity, and underscores methodological collaboration. For this reason we conclude by proposing greater interdisciplinarity by aligning EiM with the Behavioural Justice Movement.
