Book Synopsis Femininity, Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing by : Kerry Griffiths
Download or read book Femininity, Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing written by Kerry Griffiths and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the phenomenon of pole dancing as an increasingly popular fitness and leisure activity for women. It moves beyond previous debates surrounding the empowering or degrading nature of pole dancing classes, and instead explores the complexities of these concepts and highlights that women participating in this practice cannot be seen as one dimensional. Femininity, Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing explores the construction, negotiation and presentation of a gendered and classed identity and self through participation in pole dancing, the meaning of pole dancing as a fitness practice for women, and the concepts of community and friendship as developed through classes. Using empirical research, the book uncovers the stories and experiences of the women who participate in these classes, and examines what the mainstreaming of this type of sexualised dance means for the women who practice it. Pole dancing is shown to be a practice in which female identities are negotiated, performed and enacted and this book positions pole dancing as an activity which both reinforces but also presents some challenge to ideas of feminism and femininity for the women that participate. Women's participation in pole dancing is described in a discourse of choice and control, yet this book argues that the decision to participate is somewhat constructed by the advertising of these classes as enabling women to create a particular desirable self, which is perpetuated throughout our culture as the ‘ideal’. Exploring the ways in which women attempt to manage impressions and present themselves as ‘respectable’, the book examines how women wish to dis-identify with both women who work as strippers and women who are feminist, seeing both identities as contradictory to the feminine image that they pursue. The book explores the capacity of these classes to offer women some feelings of agency but challenges the idea that participating in pole dancing can offer collective empowerment. The book ultimately argues that women’s participation can be viewed both in terms of their active engagement and enjoyment of these classes and in terms of the structures and pressures which continue to shape their lives. This timely publication explores the complexity of the pole dancing phenomenon and highlights a range of questions surrounding this activity as a leisure form. It will be a valuable contribution to those interested in women’s and gender studies, cultural studies, feminism, sociology and leisure studies.

Book Synopsis Recreational Pole Dance by : Chelsea A. Locke
Download or read book Recreational Pole Dance written by Chelsea A. Locke and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pole dance/fitness is an international form of dance fitness that has become increasingly popular since the early 2000s. This thesis is an ethnographic case study focusing on a specific community of people who participate in pole dance/fitness as a recreational activity in Tampa, Florida. This ethnography highlights the motivations of participants who take pole dance/fitness classes and applies theories of feminist anthropology and embodiment theory. Throughout my research I found that, with the support of their pole family, women continuously (re)created their sense of self as they worked towards their ideal self by embodying the pole community’s values. These values included diminishing an emphasis on physical appearance as a marker of a women’s worth and promoting self-love. Despite the stigma attached to pole dance/fitness, those who participate in it continue to do so because of the mental and physical benefits it offers them. The pole community provides a safe space and encourages participants to explore freedom of sexual and gender expression. In this thesis I analyze the demographics, practices, and beliefs of polers. I provide a holistic understanding of one small pole dance/fitness community in Tampa, but my findings are applicable to understanding the wider pole dance/fitness community.

Download or read book “So what If I was a Stripper” written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research analyses the stigma that is experienced by women who practice recreational pole dancing. Recreational pole dancing is a relatively new fitness trend that is based on professional pole dancing (“stripping”) that is preformed in strip clubs in exchange for goods. Although recreational pole dancing promotes exercise, strength and stamina, and is not practiced in strip clubs, it is still highly associated with strippers which are stigmatized as dirty, bad and indecent. Therefore, women who decide to practice recreational pole dancing expose themselves to negative reactions and stigmatization through the association to strippers. Nonetheless, many women choose to continue pole dancing recreationally. even after experiencing disqualification and stigmatization. This study utilizes the theoretical framework of stigma and examines how recreational pole dancers experience and manage their stigmatization. By doing so I hope to gain a better understanding on whether a discourse of resistance to patriarchal values and norms can be generated through practices that seem to perpetuate patriarchal power over women’s sexuality.

Download or read book Innovations in Biomedical Engineering written by Marek Gzik and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-10 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a compact study on recent concepts and advances in biomedical engineering. The ongoing advancement of civilization and related technological innovations are increasingly affecting many aspects of our lives. These changes are also visible in the development and practical application of new methods for medical diagnosis and treatment, which in turn are closely linked to expanding knowledge of the functions of the human body. This development is possible primarily due to the increasing cooperation of scientists from various disciplines, and related activities are referred to as “biomedical engineering.” The combined efforts of doctors, physiotherapists and engineers from various fields of science have helped achieve dynamic advances in medicine that would have been impossible in the past. The reader will find here papers on biomaterials, biomechanics, as well as the use of information technology and engineering modeling methods in medicine. The respective papers will promote the development of biomedical engineering as a vital field of science, based on cooperation between doctors, physiotherapists and engineers. The editors would like to thank all the people who contributed to the creation of this book – both the authors, and those involved in technical aspects.

Download or read book Hypersexual City written by Nicole Kalms and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of feminist architectural scholarship focuses on the enormous task of instating women’s experience of space into spatial praxis. Hypersexual City: The Provocation of Soft-Core Urbanism suggests this attention to women’s invisibility in sociocultural space has overlooked the complex ways in which women already occupy space, albeit mostly as an image or object to be consumed, even purchased. It examines the occupation of urban space through the mediated representation of women’s hypersexualized bodies. A complex transaction proliferates in the commercial urban space of cities; this book seeks to address the cause and consequence of the increasing dominance of gendered representation. It uses architectural case studies and analysis to make visible the sexual politics of architecture and urbanism and, in doing so, reveal the ways that heterosexist culture shapes the spaces, behaviour and relationships formed in neoliberal cities. Hypersexual City announces how examining urbanism that operates through, and is framed by, sexual culture can demonstrate that architecture does not merely find itself adrift in the hypersexualized landscape of contemporary cities, but is actively producing and contributing to the sexual regulation of urban life.
Book Synopsis Pole Dancing and Art Therapy by : Trissa A. Dodson
Download or read book Pole Dancing and Art Therapy written by Trissa A. Dodson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A third of American women experience sexual violence in their lifetime, with a combined eighty-two percent of victims ranging from 18-64 years of age. Many survivors of sexual violence find recreational pole dancing to be an empowering, transformative experience. This theoretical offering reviews autoethnographic, heuristic, and journalistic literature to locate pole dancing within the feminist discourse of empowerment and degradation, and compares the structures and benefits of recreational pole dance classes to therapeutic frameworks. Then this paper analyzes neurobiological and evidence-based research to contextualize art therapy as an effective treatment method for trauma. Finally, recreational pole dancing is situated in regards to sexual health and somatics as a sex positive, pleasure-oriented, and creative healing process. This research aims to legitimize pole dancing within the art therapy community as an expressive art modality that offers transformative qualities for trauma processing and sexual healing. Possibilities for integrating further sex education into clinical practices, as well as learning from dance/movement modalities are considered.
