“…Jeg viser hvordan en idrettslig performance kan fungere som en pedagogisk dramatisering av hva det vil si å vaere ungdomsjente i det norske samfunnet generelt (Harald B. Broch, 2000;Lund, 2013). Idrettsungdom må forstås som både vaerende ungdom og blivende voksne (ikke utelukkende som potensielle eliteutøvere) hvis dramatiseringen skal vekke solidaritet.…”

“…Contemporary sociological theory shows concern about the all-encompassing claims of dualistic theories (e.g Mears 2011, Stark 2009, Thornton, Ocasio, & Lounsbury 2012, Zelizer 2011, and qualitative studies focused on artistic practice find that such practices are only intermittently and problematically oriented to artistic objects (Blanco, Schuppert & Lange 2015, Klett & Gerber 2014, Lindström 2017, Lund 2013, Scarborough 2017, Schwarz 2016, Wohl 2015. The real-world applicability and leverage offered by binary distinctions between (for instance) autonomous and economic values remains a question for many researchers, and it should be clear that a focus on art objects as the primary proxy for artistic practice is incomplete at best and, at worst, profoundly misleading.…”

Sociologicial analyses of artistic practice have long drawn on theoretical traditions grounded in binaries and dualisms. Such analytical strategies, exemplified here by field theoretical approaches, center art objects and their movements in and across markets, where binaristic visions of art worlds do offer significant leverage. But when the analyst moves away from markets for art objects and looks to artistic practices the binaristic lens provides, at best, a blurred image with meaningful blind spots. This article suggests an alternative vision of artistic practice-one based on gravity rather than polarity-that captures the ways individuals and their actions make sense in a specific universe of meaning without forcing them into fundamentally competitive and economistic relationships. It leverages findings enabled by a unique sampling strategy in a four year study of visual artists in the United States to illuminate some limitations of binary theoretical frameworks, and outlines a generative alternative to dualism that promotes new analytical and theoretical directions for sociological analyses of artists and artistic practice. This alternative model provides new leverage on four persistent issues in analyses of artistic work: cultural change in occupational fields; actors' attempts to manage overlapping but incommensurate forms of recognition, reputation, attention, and success; the persistent hegemony of markets for objects in both vernacular and sociological understandings of artistic practice; and questions of visibility and legitimacy central to understanding boundary formation and boundary work in creative fields. The gravitational metaphor promotes a distict set of strategies for the study of artistic work as well as other nontraditional occupations.

“…Whereas the topics 'work' and 'employment' were addressed through a gender perspective, the theatre practice was used as a tool to develop critical thought and transversal soft skills. This approach allowed promoting an association between learnings, theatre symbolic languages and the experiences of sensitivity, emotion and corporeality, in the sense of embodied pedagogies (Lund, 2013;Nicholson, 2005). The expected impact was to exercise the bodily responses, sensations and aesthetical pleasure in order to generate a sense of aliveness that prompts the participants' desire to connect and engage with others or ideas (Thompson 2009).…”

“…From Nicholson's perspective, AT knowledge is 'embodied, culturally located and socially distributed ' (2005, p. 39). The AT process asks for the physical and emotional involvement of participants and therefore enhance the physical embodiment of learning ("embodied pedagogies") (Davids & Willemse, 2014;Lund, 2013;Nicholson, 2005). At the same time, it shares meanings and powers, and exposes new forms of social and cultural capital.…”

This paper describes an experience of the use of applied theatre for the promotion of gender equality. The fact that women continue to face multiple forms of discrimination as human beings, citizens and professionals justified the search of alternative training models. The Empowerment Labs focused on the amplification of power, freedom and action of two groups of women: university students and unemployed women. The core of the approach followed was guided by a fundamental question: 'can theatre raise consciousness and empowerment in the context of gender equality?' The results obtained through different internal assessment tools provide evidence of change in what feminist awareness and personal empowerment are concerned. We present and discuss the process and results of this experience including the advantages and limitations of applied theatre in certain types of outcomes.
