It is known that rates of participation in sports and physical activities among older adults decrease as they get older. This article focuses on the experience of the aging body at the gym, and it is one of the few that focuses on a little-studied group of frequent gym-goers. Based on an ethnographic work of more than two years in Amsterdam, I explain the goals of three older adults who frequently work out, what their relationships with the gym and their bodies are, and why they are interested in training in gyms. This article seeks to contribute to discourses on health, sport, and aging and, at the same time, to explain some of the advantages of qualitative studies in understanding the experience of aging and training in gyms.

This study explores the lived experience of democratic civic education for middle school students. Grounded in the tradition of hermeneutic phenomenology as guided by Heidegger (1962), Gadamer (1960/2003), Casey (1993), and Levinas (1961/2004), among others, the framework for conducting action-sensitive research, as described by van Manen (2003), guides this inquiry as I endeavor to uncover what it means for students to embody civic education. Twenty-nine students are taped engaging in discussions, debates, simulations, and other civic education. Twelve students self-select to engage in reflective writing and conversations about their experiences. The existential theme of lived body emerges from this inquiry. The importance of embodying one’s learning, as well as connecting physically and socially to one’s society are apparent. The students’ learning through their corporeal experience serves to create the civil body politic of the classroom and inform their behavior outside of the classroom. Insights from this study may inform curriculum theorists and developers, policy-makers, and classroom teachers. Recommendations are made to transform the social studies for students to capitalize on their bodily experiences within the classroom so that they may grow in their role as a citizen. Students may then embody the ideals essential in civic education and democratic societies

Tresmontant has never explicitly dealt with the interpretation of the concepts of body and corporeality in his work. He was, however, very interested in the philosophy of creation and the biblical interpretations. In this work we systematically organized his anthropological thoughts and present them as a logically organized framework that characterizes his perception of body and flesh as anthropological categories. Despite the fact that Tresmontant based his arguments on the classical metaphysical and biblical interpretation of various texts, we suggest that they still represent a comprehensive modern theological anthropology.

The article focuses on cultural changes that the human body goes through in Modernism. It points at the main features of the current disourse of the body. It stresses the importance of medicine and psychological discourses of the time and their link with political discourse of nationality. The same relevance is found regarding the new visual massmedia – especially newspapers and photography. The general outline of the most relevant features of Modernity in connection with the human body is followed by a particular analysis of ruralist prose by František Křelina and Václav Prokůpek. The analysis points at the relevancy of literature disourse facing competition from new modes of representation (especially visual ones).

Článek se věnuje kulturním proměnám, jimiž prochází v moderní době lidská tělesnost. Pojmenovává hlavní okolnosti, formující dobové pohledy na problematiku těla, přičemž zdůrazňuje prosazování i laickou recepci medicínského a psychologického diskurzu, jež jsou propojeny se zájmy politickými. Přinejmenším stejná závažnost je přisuzována novým vizuálním a hromadně sdělovacím médiím – především fotografiím a novinám. Na obecnější uvedení do relevantních znaků moderny ve vztahu k lidské tělesnosti navazuje konkrétní analýza textů Františka Křeliny a Václava Prokůpka. Tato analýza umožňuje poukázat na relevantnost literárního diskurzu i v konkurenci nových, moderních reprezentačních médií.
