Environment, Technology and Animals: Looking Backwards and the Future of Physical Education
Gard, Michael
Sport, Education and Society, v26 n4 p429-438 2021
I believe. I don't believe. Memories as history. History creates the future. Stories create oneself. Two years ago, I was involved in a conference session on post-human theory, organised by Rosie Welch and Nicole Taylor. This session forced me to interrogate my views and explore new connections to post-human scholarship. My position is not to look for new perspectives from 'new' theory. I do not want to argue about the value of post-humanist theory. I do not want to re-rehearse the arguments about new theory. I agree with you and I disagree with you. For now, what I want to argue for is that physical education has been there throughout history, waiting, a gift in time. I use three stories about people and books to propose new (?) dances with post-human theory and alternative critical engagements with environment, technology and animals. My view is that physical education scholarship needs fresh winds and post-human theories, handled with care, can suggest alternative directions for classroom practices.
