“…Uma das características que nos chamaram a atenção desde o início era a valorização do compromisso com a realização das atividades em torno da corrida, tanto por parte dos corredores da equipe quanto por parte dos corredores associados. Encontramos na proposta de "lazer sério" (Stebbins, 2008) uma aproximação teórica bastante adequada para esse fenômeno. Para Stebbins (2008, p. 5), o "lazer sério" é [...] a prática sistemática de uma atividade central por amadores, praticantes de hobby ou voluntários, considerada substancial, interessante e realizadora e que, em casos típicos, lança-lhes numa carreira (de lazer) centrada na aquisição e expressão de uma combinação de habilidades, conhecimento e experiência específicos (modificado de Stebbins, 1992, p. 3, apud Stebbins 2008.…”

“…Essa qualidade é evidente na comunidade de praticantes de lazer sé-rio em seu "[...] compartilhar de atitudes, práticas, valores, crenças, objetivos e assim por diante" (Stebbins, 2008, p. 12, tradução autoral). Stebbins (2008) baseia sua proposta de "mundo social" nas concepções desenvolvidas por Unruh (1979;1980), para quem:…”

“…Além da aquisição de conhecimentos novos sobre a própria prática do esporte, a inserção no universo de corredores exige do novato aprendizagens culturais, como formas de comunicação, de relacionamento e de lidar com desafios próprios da atividade. Esse processo pode ser visto como uma socialização do novo participante para se tornar membro de um mundo social específico, com comportamentos, valores e etos próprios, o mundo dos corredores (Stebbins, 2008). O processo de entrada neste mundo social, o desenvolvimento das competências e habilidades, a manutenção da permanên-cia e a saída deste mundo são interpretados por Stebbins (2008) como uma carreira.…”

Saulo Neves de OliveiraABSTRACT -'This is The End, My Beautiful Friend!': serious leisure and the end of career. The number of runners is increasing, among them, especially, the older ones. But everything that starts comes to an end, including a runner's career. Confronting limitations often caused by aging, the older runner has to deal with this situation. This paper interprets the end of career of a runner as a learning moment facing a new challenge. Various factors that influence this process were recorded and the different ways of coping with the end of a runner's career were analyzed in the context of a racing group in Porto Alegre.

Whither wilderness? An investigation of technology use by long‐distance backpackers

The popular outdoor pursuit of backpacking is profoundly changing as the community embraces contemporary information technologies. However, there is little empirical evidence on the adoption and use of consumer electronics by backpackers, nor the implications this has for their habits, practices, and interactions. We investigate long‐distance backpackers' articulations with mobile information technology during the TGO Challenge, a coast‐to‐coast crossing of the Scottish Highlands. By employing mixed methods, we explore how and why backpackers use such technology when planning and undertaking their journeys via a survey (n = 116), pre‐ and post‐challenge interviews with selected TGO participants, and daily in‐field video‐logs. Our results suggest many advantages to using technology in this context, including fluidity of communications and access, while noting that reliance on technology is leading to issues such as increased need for battery power management, and deskilling. The findings highlight implications for the juxtaposition between outdoor recreation, information behavior, and human computer interaction (HCI) and suggest future work in this area.

Assessing the theoretical potential of an expanded model for everyday information practices

The present study contributes to the development of integrated models for information behavior and practices at the domain-specific level. To this end, the model for everyday information practices proposed by Savolainen in 2008 is enhanced by integrating the element of information creating, based on Thomson's recent 2018 study. The integration resulted in the expanded model for everyday information practices. Using conceptual analysis, the above model was examined in light of conventional (positivist and post-positivist) and interpretive (social constructivist) criteria for theory assessment. The findings suggest that the integrated model meets best the interpretive criteria such as meaningfulness and understandability, mutuality of concepts and descriptive logic, empirical verifiability, and usefulness. In contrast, theoretical potential of the model is fairly limited when weighed against the conventional criteria, such as generalization and prediction. Overall, the findings suggest that, in its current form, the expanded model cannot be regarded as a "genuine theory" of everyday information practices. However, the model does incorporate many of the qualities characteristic of social scientific theories, and thus exhibits considerable theoretical potential. This is even more so if the interpretive, naturalistic basis of the data in which the expanded model is based is considered.
