The Business of Sport, Sledging and the Corruption of Play – an Interpretation through a Huizingian-Bourdieu Lens
Get PDFAn article published in an open access journal.Using a combined Huizingian-Bourdieu framework, this paper analyses the
significance of sport’s transformation into a business and how the prevailing
business structure that defines professional sport has influenced the ‘lived
experience’ of those playing at sport’s elite level. Furthermore, this paper highlights
how the actions of players, coaches and other participants serve to reinforce,
legitimise and normalise the business characteristics of sport’s dominant business
structure.
Importantly, this paper illuminates how the professionalization of sport corrupts the
act of playing and indeed gives rise to play tactics, such as ‘sledging’, which both
reflects the increased seriousness of sport and, in its very execution, further
reinforces the dominant business structures of professional sport, all the while
corrupting the essence of sport – play.
In doing so we are challenged to consider how society’s fields could be different in
structure, and in the ‘lived experience’ within the field.Sports Media and Sport Business DegreesHolmesglen Institut
Knowlegeable outsider: shadowing as method in early childhood.
No full textThis paper draws on a study which is examining the role of the Educational Leader in early childhood education and the day-to-day pedagogical leadership enactment. The aim of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of, and insight into, the role of the Educational Leader in their day-to-day pedagogical decision-making, with a view to deepening current definitions and understanding of the role.Early Childhood EducationHolmesglen InstituteAustralian Association for Research in Education (AARE)Sydne
The student as researcher: preparing people for a rapidly changing workforce
No full textItem is not available from this repository. Please contact the author.Until recently scant attention has been paid to the nature and extent of student involvement in applied research projects within the vocational education sector. Not only has this discounted the contribution of vocational education students to the innovation economy, it has also contributed to a broader problem that limits the recognition of TAFE as a contributor to applied research. This presentation challenges this commonly held view about the relative absence of student involvement in research in TAFE and establishes that student participation in applied research occurs across the vocational sector, and in varying ways. Working from a typology that categorises student approaches to applied research, I present a range of case studies, each drawing upon a particular type of applied research. These include:
student/trainee experiences derived from a research based consultancy, e.g. a ‘ live-work ‘ project; staff initiated projects that allow students to frame the parameters of research and present the outcomes at a conference or industry showcase; and research outcomes derived from work within an industry environment in order to learn about applied problems and ways to overcome them.Higher Education and Applied ResearchHolmesglen Institute27th National Vocational Education and Training Research Conference ‘No Frills’Sydne
Managed play: the Media’s Impact on play in the Australian Football League

This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of Open Access.This paper utilises the combined observations and theories of Johan Huizinga and Pierre Bourdieu to create a theoretical lens through which we can understand the media’s growing influence in sport and its impact on play’s transformation. The theory will then be expounded through an extensive analysis of the media’s influence in the AFL, particularly its play element. This analysis will be supported with insights and views from AFL fans, members, commentators and theorists.Sports Media and Sport Business DegreesHolmesglen Institut

Sledging in sport – playful banter, or mean-spirited insults? A study of sledging’s place in play.
Get PDFThis is the final draft of the article.Sledging, or 'trash talk' or 'chirping', as it's known in other parts of the world, has long been part of competitive sport. Often described as ‘gamesmanship’, quick witted athletes have provided numerous examples of spontaneous, creative and humorous banter as part of the play contest. Furthermore, it has largely been an accepted part of sport with some athletes even celebrated for their ability to distract opponents with well-timed barbs or relentless, ongoing sledges.
However, more recent times have seen the issue of sledging, and its place in sport, debated with many athletes, fans and academics arguing that sledging has moved outside the notion of ‘sportsmanship’ and gone beyond light hearted, good natured banter. They argue it is now characterized as hurtful, insulting, offensive and intimidating - a tactic that has moved beyond fair play and, in many instances, no longer acceptable.
This paper seeks to explore this issue in greater depth. In particular, this paper seeks to ask, ‘is sledging part of play, or is it a characteristic of play's corruption?’ In doing so, the notion of sledging, play and its corruption, will be explored in depth with examples used to illuminate the changing nature of both concepts.
The argument proceeds by adopting a conception of play, grounded in the work of Johan Huizinga. While there have been significant developments in play theory since Huizinga wrote his most famous study of play, Homo Ludens, in 1938, the core aspects of his definition have continued relevance. Indeed, as will be outlined later in the paper, Huizinga’s key characteristics of play have been embraced and adopted by more modern play theorists. As such, the argument of sledging as play, or as a characteristic of its corruption, is made broadly within Huizinga’s conception of play.
The insights of academics and scholars will be drawn on, as will the insights of surveyed sports fans and amateur athletes to highlight their views on sledging and its place in modern sport. By doing so, sledging's role in sport and its most dominant characteristics, according to those who watch professional sport and play at the community level, will be illuminated.Sports Media and Sport Business DegreesHolmesglen Institut
