“…Identity is proscribed and inscribed in space (Lefebvre, 1991;van Ingen, 2003) but for some new immigrants their socialised embodiment cannot be readily transported into this new place. Some new immigrants in New Zealand may never realise embodiment in relation to national and regional parks.…”

“…Various conceptual models have been developed for understanding how identity is proscribed by and inscribed in space (Lefebvre, 1991;Sibley, 1995;van Ingen, 2003), with all, the body is central to the production of space and social structure (Lefebvre, 1991). Thus, sexuality, race, gender and class, as embodied identities, are produced, maintained and reproduced in specific social spaces (van Ingen, 2003). Accessing and feeling entitled to access social space involve claims to social, cultural and physical capital to provide value and legitimacy for movement within and between social spaces for both individuals and social groups (Bourdieu, 1986;Skeggs, 1999).…”

Outdoor nature-based recreation practices provide a window on human/nonhuman relationships in New Zealand society and for some new immigrants these relationships metaphorically parallel their settlement experiences. This paper draws on the qualitative component of a mixed method study conducted in New Zealand, which focused on participation in outdoor nature-based recreation in national and regional parks. Recent immigrants in New Zealand bring with them environmental values and expectations of what recreational participation in outdoor nature-based settings should and might entail. Recent migrant perceptions of these natural habitats throw into relief assumed givens about the role of national parks and the social and cultural function that these institutions have fulfilled since their inception in New Zealand society. Our research demonstrates that being able to locate one's self in nature-based settings is central to migrant integration, yet for a significant group of immigrants this is not always possible in New Zealand. This research raises a number of important questions about the nature of leisure and the politics of the environment in New Zealand. In multicultural New Zealand outdoor nature-based recreation, those who participate and those who do not, what they see and what it means to them provides a window on contemporary societal, environmental and cultural politics.

In this article we present the results of a Dutch study about sport participation among self-identified homo/bisexual men and women, compared to a matched group of heterosexual men and women. It is argued that quantitative research can further enrich the existing knowledge in the field of sport and sexuality, which is mainly based on qualitative studies from a poststructuralist perspective. Findings both challenge and confirm stereotypical images of sport involvement by gays and lesbians. The results show that sexual `mappings' of different sports spaces do not only exist cognitively, but influence the actual sporting biographies of men and women with different sexual identifications. Gay men are underrepresented in mainstream club sports and traditional `masculine' team sports and over-represented in commercially based fitness sports. However, most non-heterosexual women and men have discovered mainstream sports spaces where they can participate without being confronted too much with homonegativity and heteronormativity. Simultaneously, many are reluctant to join `counter spaces', like LGTB sports organizations and reflect a certain compliance with heteronormativity.

“…Moreover, the transformation of public spaces into restricted corporate zones raises important questions for local taxpayers who will pay an estimated US$12 billion to host the Athens 2004 Olympics, plus an ongoing fee of up to $100 million per year to maintain more than a dozen Olympic sites (Murphy, 2004). Such contemporary issues speak to the extent to which local sporting spaces, public landscapes and by extension the bodies of spectators are produced, regulated and constituted by a range of power relations (Bale, 1994;van Ingen, 2003); in this instance the maintenance and protection of the interests and sign values of multinational corporate sponsors. Indeed, while global mega-sporting events represent important flexible promotional platforms for multinational corporations to reach transnational audiences, they remain dependent on local stadia, urban places/spaces as vehicles for their commercial messages and, by extension, the vast amounts of public funds that are used to bid for and subsidise mega-sporting events.…”

Sporting sign wars: advertising and the contested terrain of sporting events and venues

Local sporting stadia exist as sought after promotional platforms for multinational corporations to associate their brands with major international mega-sporting events. However, in conjunction with a global climate of corporate sign wars (Goldman and Papson, 1996) and the continued threat of ambush marketing, these sporting spaces exist as contested terrains where a range of power relations are effectively played out at the global-local nexus. In this paper, we examine issues pertaining to ambush marketing and the brand protection/clean venue policies employed by local organising committees in two case studies: the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 1999 FIFA Under-17 World Soccer Championships in New Zealand. We identify similar strategies utilised at both sporting events to protect official sponsors while discussing some of the implications of these issues on the lived experiences of spectators and citizens who are inevitably connected to the wider structures of power operating within and through these local sporting spaces.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Scherer, J., Sam, M. and Batty, R.
