摘要
This paper explores the visual, embodied and interactive elements of the postsport physical culture(s) of fell running. Fell running is textually represented in the paper as a physical cultural practice with many surface level, or 'residual', articulations of mainstream sport, but is deployed by many enthusiasts as a novel praxis of athletic engagement that cultivates communion with the self, others and the environment. By unpacking ethnographic and photo-elicitation data gleaned through a study of fell running in the English midlands, and drawing from several core concepts in French post-structural theory, I infographically illustrate the allure of post-sports like fell running to people who wish to immerse themselves in rather novel contexts of desire-producing, personally rewarding and spiritual activity. The paper represents how increased recognition and promotion of a broad range of post-sport cultures within the global athletic ethnosphere might promote mass, and sustained, involvement in physical activity across a range of groups.
