Sport as a cultural offset in Aboriginal Australia?

Sport for Reconciliation?

“…Henhawk and Norman (2019) astutely stated that SFD activities "supported by government and corporate sponsors, and even called for within the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, continue to take place on colonized land" (p. 174). Likewise, in Australia, Sheppard et al (2019) pointed out that sport operates as a type of "cultural offsetting" through which sport supposedly offsets the trauma of colonization within Indigenous communities; however, "the current models of SFD serve to perpetuate damaging discourses and thwart opportunities for self-determination" (p. 13). Hence, while sport being used as a tool to separate Indigenous Peoples from their cultures is less apparent today, SFD efforts still have the potential to encourage forms of assimilation by reproducing neoliberal discourses relating to risk, individual responsibility, and development (Hayhurst et al, 2016;Rossi & Rynne, 2013;Lucas et al, 2021).…”

Subsequently, scholars and Indigenous community leaders have emphasized the importance of Indigenous communities having control over the development and implementation of sports-based initiatives in their communities (Arellano & Downey, 2019;Essa et al, 2021;Giles & van Luijk, 2017;Hayhurst & Giles, 2013;Henhawk & Norman, 2019;Sheppard et al, 2019).…”

“…The contingent and limited acceptance of Indigenous cultures was indicative of how Indigenous scholars have noted that forms of cultural resurgence that do not threaten the settler status-quo are deemed acceptable within settler colonialism (Corntassel, 2012;Grande & Anderson, 2017;Simpson, 2017;Tuck & Yang, 2012). Perhaps due to its disruptive potential, Indigenous political understandings and the inextricable links to understandings of land and culture were ignored and unaccounted for (Henhawk & Norman, 2019;Sheppard et al, 2019;Simpson, 2017). That is, information relating to culture was named, selected, and categorized in a way that made invisible any connections between Indigenous cultures and Indigenous politics.…”

Uma revisão dos estudos em lazer: um enfoque nos métodos de pesquisa

“…Das 23 pesquisas qualitativas tem-se que 14 fizeram uso de entrevista pessoal e seis fizeram uso de fotos e outras seis de observações. Dentre as 22 pesquisas qualitativas, há três artigos em que não se identifica claramente a técnica de coleta de dados e um que é conceitual (Sheppard et al, 2021), verificando-se que 11 usam mais de uma técnica de coleta de dados e dentre estas quatro usam cinco técnicas diferentes de coleta de dados.…”
