“…For the social sciences of sports, the immanent perspective of materialism and theories of assemblages are far from new. Over time, a number of authors have applied the perspective of materiality to sport and physical culture (Andrews, 2016;Markula, 2014;Millington & Wilson, 2016;Pavlidis & Fullagar, 2014;Pringle et al, 2015;Roy, 2014;Weedon, 2015) and used case study design (Enright & Gard, 2016;Hordvik et al, 2019;Thorpe & Clark, 2020). Perhaps, it would be fair to say that this materialist literature involves a spectrum of methodological approaches that more or less embrace the theory of assemblages as well as the complex and entangled relations of our embodied lives as researchers.…”

This article challenge research political assumptions of research interests as context specific phenomena predefined by researchers and others in case study research on sports. By adopting a Deleuzian perspective of materiality, the aim is to overturn academic power dimensions as well as anthropocentric focuses and instead explore how research interests emerge in case-assemblages. This is a radical shift that re-theorizes the production of research interests as co-produced capacities in researching bodies. The analysis is done by mapping territorializing, deterritorializing, and reterritorializing affects as well as molar and molecular affects. We use these affects to explore how our research interest evolved in a case study on a swimming event. We conclude by extending this critical exploration to the production of research interests in general and the exaggerated belief that research interests are attributes of specific human bodies (researchers) that precede studies.

“…Os benefícios da prática do surfe estão ligados a emoções fortes, sair da rotina e rejuvenescer, como descrito na pesquisa de Pimentel e Saito (2010) em Maringá, Paraná, e que pode ser generalizado para outros locais aproximando-se do conceito de economia da experiência proposto por Pine e Gilmore (1998). Mesmo considerando que no contexto do surfe, que é definido por normas e valores masculinos, observa-se que mulheres ao praticá-lo sentem-se ao mesmo tempo femininas e livres (ROY, 2014 Revistas como a brasileira "Fluir", principal publicação especializada em surfe da América Latina, divulgam todas as informações relativas ao mercado desse esporte, desde os melhores locais de prática no mundo, tabelas de circuitos e campeonatos, parcerias e lojas especializadas em surfe, as novidades tecnológicas dos acessórios dos surfistas, entre outros detalhes, fazendo com que o praticante se torne totalmente imerso na cadeia de valor do surfe. 15 A Internet e as redes sociais voltadas para o surfe geram informações relevantes sobre compra de produtos e avaliações de escolas e treinadores, em que o consumidor pode modificar o processo de avaliação do produto industrial antes mesmo da compra, sendo decisivo para essa categoria de mercado.…”

<p class="Resumo">O surf chegou ao Brasil em 1938 fazendo surgir os primeiros surfistas nacionais. Na década de 70 o esporte passou a ter uma estrutura social e de mercado, especificamente nos estados do Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo e Rio Grande do Sul, onde se estabeleceram produtores de prancha, importadores de materiais e matéria-prima, criação de campeonatos e eventos esportivos, além das grandes marcas e lojas especializadas no ramo, dando início a uma tendência crescente de geração de novos produtos e serviços. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar sistema de operação do serviço de surf no estado do Rio de Janeiro de forma a entender suas relações complexas e explorar tais conexões com a finalidade de estabelecer futuras possibilidades. Com base nos resultados verificou-se que o Brasil é um mercado consumidor muito forte de mercadorias e serviços relacionados ao surf devido ao clima, população jovem, cuja maioria vive próximo ao litoral, aspectos que são potencializados no Rio de Janeiro. Entre os fatores que contribuem para o desenvolvimento do surf têm-se a sua inserção na mídia não segmentada e em particular a imagem projetada por este esporte como algo jovem e interessante cuja prática relaciona-se a fatores psicológicos como a emoção, o controle do ambiente externo e a superação. Produtos e serviços que que possibilitem ao consumidor superar habilidades físicas e psicológicas visando atingir maior controle destes fatores possuem possibilidades crescentes de negócios e de inovação.</p>

“…Some have been ambitious in their engagements with Deleuzian philosophy as it evolved over the years of his career, whereas others have focused on "a relatively small cluster of concepts that may overlap with feminist interests" (Grosz, 1993, p. 167;Braidotti, 1994). Among the latter, feminist scholars have engaged and expanded upon a range of Deleuzian concepts, including assemblage, affect, becoming, rhizome, strata, and the body without organs to examine women's body image (Coffey, 2021), body work (Coffey, 2013) and wellbeing (Coffey, 2022), physical activity and recovery from depression (Fullagar, 2020), mindful fitness (Markula, 2010), dance (Borovica, 2017), and surfing (Roy, 2014), among other sport and fitness related topics.…”

Building upon and extending a growing strand of research engaging feminist new materialisms to understand women's moving bodies as more-than-human phenomena, this paper considers the pandemic as an event that initiated new expressions and contents for the fitness assemblage. Engaging a feminist reading of Deleuze and Guattari's writings on becoming, we examine women's physical activity practices during the coronavirus pandemic. Drawing upon object interviews with 38 women living in Aotearoa New Zealand, we ask: How do women's pandemic relations with spaces (home, neighborhood), others (family, pets) and matter (objects of fitness) prompt new ways of knowing their own moving bodies and the importance of physical activity in their lives? Through our affective, material, and embodied analysis, we explain how the pandemic event surfaced new lines of flight away from the dominant gendered fitness assemblage. Women's affective relations and movement encounters prompted the emergence of new forms of bodily autonomy and fitness for pleasure and connection, offering glimpses of alternative ways of knowing, feeling, and sensing physical activity as becoming.
