Abstract

This inquiry explores a theoretical question, of applied practical relevance in fields like sport science, relating to how people come to know the performance landscapes they inhabit, and the dynamic opportunities for action they present. Here, we propose that how people come to know their performance landscapes, and how they learn to correspond with available affordances in them, is through dwelling. More specifically, through dwelling, people learn to resonate with the rhythms of information and affordances of a performance landscape, entangling with them to successfully find their way through the tasks, problems and challenges taken up with. To theoretically support our analysis, we draw on James Gibson’s different conceptualisations of knowledge, and Tim Ingold’s perspectives of enskilment – bringing practical applicability to our discussion by weaving in various ethnographic accounts of the growth of enskiled inhabitant knowledge. Through these transdisciplinary insights, we show that it is by asking questions, sharing stories, and following up lines of inquiry that people grow into their enskiled knowledge of places they inhabit.

摘要

这项调查探讨了一个理论问题，在体育科学等领域具有应用实践相关性，涉及人们如何了解他们所处的表现环境，以及他们呈现的动态行动机会。在这里，我们建议人们如何通过居住来了解他们的表演景观，以及他们如何学会与其中可用的可供性相对应。更具体地说，通过居住，人们学会与信息的节奏和表演景观的可供性产生共鸣，与他们纠缠在一起，成功地找到解决任务、问题和挑战的方法。为了从理论上支持我们的分析，我们借鉴了 James Gibson 对知识的不同概念化，熟练的居民知识。通过这些跨学科的见解，我们表明，正是通过提出问题、分享故事和跟进调查线索，人们才能对所居住的地方拥有丰富的知识。
