        Soziologie der Praktiken

        Konzeptionelle Studien und empirische Analysen

        by Robert Schmidt

        Praxistheoretische Zugänge formulieren neuartige theoretische und empirisch-analytische Perspektiven und finden in den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften in den letzten Jahren zunehmende Beachtung. Die Aufweichung von epistemologischen Gegensätzen, die die Sozialwissenschaften nach wie vor spalten, sowie ein empirisch orientiertes und methodologisch ausgerichtetes Verständnis von Theorie sind ihre Hauptkennzeichen. Robert Schmidt wendet diese Konzeptionen in unterschiedlichen Forschungskontexten aus den Bereichen des Sports (Handball, Inlinehockey, Triathlon) und der Arbeitswelt (in einem Büro für Software-Entwicklung) an. Es ergeben sich spannungsreiche Konstellationen, an denen sich die Leistungsfähigkeit einer Soziologie der Praktiken beweist.

        Can't Sleep, Can't Train, Can't Stop

        More Misadventures in Triathlon

        by Andy Holgate

        A 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run makes the Ironman triathlon one of the hardest one-day endurance challenges on the planet. Now take those events and transfer them to a volcanic rock with cruel winds, searing sun, rough seas and nosebleed-inducing hills, and you have Ironman Lanzarote. Why, then, would Andy Holgate - who admittedly has never swum in the sea, who can't cope with the wind, sun or even stairs - take on such an extreme challenge? Simple: because he can. Can't Sleep, Can't Train, Can't Stop! continues Andy's inspirational journey from where Can't Swim, Can't Ride, Can't Run left off, chronicling his attempt to complete two Ironman triathlons six weeks apart. Already in his fortieth year, would Andy make it to his forty-first? Would Lanzarote prove one triathlon too far - or will Andy succeed against the odds and live to swim, ride and run another day?

        Can't Swim, Can't Ride, Can't Run

        My Triathlon Journey from Common Man to Ironman

        by Andy Holgate

        A 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run make up the Ironman triathlon. It’s not for the faint-hearted. What possesses an overweight, thirty-something librarian who can’t swim, doesn’t own a bike and has two dodgy knees to take on the hardest one-day endurance race in the world? Can’t Swim, Can’t Ride, Can’t Run is the story of Andy Holgate’s inspirational, epic and life-changing journey to become an Ironman. Lubricant, alligators, rubber suits, blisters, pirates, extreme weather, Elvis, tragedy, romance, flesh-eating amoebas, crashes, hospital visits and perhaps the most unusual stag weekend in history all play a part in this amusing and moving tale of one normal bloke’s quest to arrive at his wedding intact. Oh yeah, that’s right, Andy is due to get married seven days after the biggest physical challenge of his life. Will he make it down the aisle in one piece?

      • THE VERTIGO OF THE CLIMB

        SMALL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE THRILL OF PEDALLING UPWARDS

        by RICCARDO BARLAAM

        “I go so hard uphill to shorten my agony”. This is how Marco Pantani tried to explain the meaning of what he did: the vertigo of the climb. When the Pirata sprinted, Italy stopped. His sprints had become a sort of mass orgiastic ritual. The bandana was off, the head down, the hands on the handlebars in the sprint position, the grimace of pain that looked like a bitter smile. In the climb, ever since cycling was born - in this extraordinarily close to mountaineering - there is the highest moment of a sport that speaks with sweat, muscles and heart as well as wheels and pedals. An absurd claim to try to conquer the climbs. A challenge to one's own limits and to fatigue, which for a strange alchemy, physical but also inner, is transformed into elation and intimate joy only on arrival. At the top. Where the infinitely small becomes everything.

        The Partition

        by Don Lee

        Twenty-one years after the publication of his landmark debut collection Yellow, Don Lee returns to the short story form for his sixth book, The Partition. The Partition is an updated exploration of Asian American identity, this time with characters who are presumptive model minorities in the arts, academia, and media. Spanning decades, these nine novelistic stories traverse an array of cities, from Tokyo to Boston, Honolulu to El Paso, touching upon transient encounters in local bars, restaurants, and hotels. Culminating in a three-story cycle about a Hollywood actor, The Partition incisively examines heartbreak, identity, family, and relationships, the characters searching for answers to universal questions: Where do I belong? How can I find love? What defines an authentic self?

        The Reservoir

        by David Duchovny

        The Reservoir follows an unexceptional man in an exceptional time. We see our present-day pandemic world and New York City through the eyes of a former Wall Street veteran, Ridley, as he, in his enforced quarantined solitude, looks back upon his life. He examines his wins, his failures, the gnawing questions—his career, his divorce, his estranged daughter—and wonders what it all means and who he really is.  Sitting and brooding night after night, gazing out his huge picture window high above the Central Park Reservoir, Ridley spots a flashing light in an apartment across the park as if a lonely quarantined person is signaling him in Morse code. His determination to find out who this mystery woman is, this fellow quarantine damsel in distress trapped in her own Fifth Avenue tower, leads him on an epic quest that will ultimately tempt him with either delusional madness or the fulfillment of his own mythic fate. Is he a dying man going mad or an everyman metamorphosing into a hero? Or both? We accompany Ridley as he leaves the safety of his apartment window to save the Fifth Avenue femme fatale and descends into a dangerous, increasingly surreal world of global conspiracies, madness, and sickness of this viral time; beyond that, into the enduring mysteries of love and fatherhood; and deeper still, into the bedrock mystery of life itself. As Ridley’s actions grow more and more uncharacteristic, he realizes the key to all the mysteries of now, and even all of history, seem to lie deep beneath the freezing waters of the reservoir. The Reservoir is a twisted rom-com for our distanced time, when the merest touch could kill and conspiracy theories propagate like viruses—a contemporary union of Death in Venice, Rear Window, and The Plague.
