Historicising Cultural Sport Psychology : Dare we De-centre Methodological Eurocentrism?

2021

In this essay we critically reflect on our respective journeys to and within cultural sport psychology (CSP). Since the inception, CSP scholars have advocated for opening the privileged academic space for marginalised voices and omitted subject themes; as well as cautioned researchers that the CSP project itself needs to be constantly revisited and reworked to keep it in progressive flux. We argue that, despite some notable advances, CSP remains a predominantly white Anglo-American intellec-tual space and that previous calls to engage with issues of power and privilege in the prevailing knowledge production have been largely unanswered. The lack of diverse voices within the CSP community ma…

Imagining the other : orientalism and occidentalism in Tamil-European relations in South India

2006

Jouhki on tutkinut idän ja lännen problematiikkaa Edward Saidin (1935–2003) vuonna 1978 kirjoittaman teoksen Orientalism - Western Conceptions of the Other ja sitä seuranneen mittavan akateemisen keskustelun pohjalta.

Euroopan ulkopuolisiin kansoihin suhtaudutaan ennakkoluuloisesti ja polarisoivasti, ikään kuin idän ja lännen kansat olisivat toistensa vastakohtia. Kun länsi on yleensä rationaalisuuden, yksilöllisy…

"I'm Not Like Indian Women": Reflections of Young European Women in Varanasi, India

2006

The aim of this article is to look at the ways in which young European women staying in the city of Varanasi for long periods of time talk about India and how they negotiate their place and role as women there. There is a common travellers’ discourse that sees India as a difficult and dangerous place to a vulnerable traveler, and the encounters of colonial women with “otherness” have been widely analysed. This article brings this discussion to the post colonial era and endeavors to initiate a discussion about how to understand the encounters between visiting Western women and the locals in India today. The article is based on nine interviews which Korpela conducted in Varanasi, and on her p…
