The two driving questions are: What may be fruitful ways to modify existing research mores and theoreticalassumptions in cognitive studies? How do we integrate the cognitive sciences with the normative? These resultrespectively in an overture to expand the cognitive canon, and uniquely derive the normative weight to excel from workin the mind sciences and skillful coping connected to standards inherent to and resulting from the active pursuits centralto this examination: sports, performing and martial arts, and crafts. Animate bodies best show the connection betweenthe normative and the cognitive, and how these correlate with bodies, their kinetic capabilities, and the context of acommunity. This leads to a reconsideration of how cognitive studies—to include neuroscience, cognitive science, andphilosophy—go about their business. The “cognitive canon” is thus extended and modified on a number of frontsregarding methodology, subject matter, and focus. Specifically, I suggest the need to go beyond conventional researchfoci embraced by both mainstream cognitivist and alternative embodied cognition approaches: the argument is to gobeyond vision, normality and the pathological to explicitly incorporate the kinetic-tactile and the exceptional under aframework that re-conceptualizes matters across the board.

This article investigates the tensions between official rules of Fair Play in football (soccer) and onthe-ground formations of the notion of fairness in Turkish football. I contend that while fair playguidelines prescribe universalists standards of ethical behavior for all football actors, there aremultiple instances in mundane football events which result in players’, fans’ or othercommentators’ variant appreciations of the ethical. Specific contingencies give birth to alternativeformations of fairness leading us to consider how ethics might be a matter of constant negotiationrather than of preset verdicts. Using legal anthropology’s insights on legal pluralism and sportsphilosophy’s discussion of conventionalism, I focus on specific footballing instances in Turkishfootball and offer various social rationales in regard to how multiple ethical verdicts might bereached. In this discussion, I include how some footballing conventions in Turkey come intoconversation with the written rules of football and set guidelines of fair play to show that peopledraw on different sets of rules (written and unwritten) in their deliberation of fair action, fair playawards and ethics. This article is the result of a year’s fieldwork in Istanbul beginning September2010 towards a doctoral dissertation in anthropology on fair play and fairness in football in Turkey.

En este trabajo pretendo realizar una presentación de la situación actual de la Filosofía del Deporte en la discusión contemporánea. Tras un breve esbozo de la historia de la disciplina en el siglo XX, así como de los distintos enfoques metodológicos (externalismo, internalismo), hago un repaso de los principales problemas éticos que se plantean en el deporte. En el último apartado, trato de mostrar el interés que puede despertar el deporte para los filósofos del derecho, dada las similitudes (parciales) que existen entre el Derecho y el deporte.; En este trabajo pretendo realizar una presentación de la situación actual de la Filosofía del Deporte en la discusión contemporánea.

Kretchmar, Scott
In this essay, I examine claims made for the significance of mind-body holism. I look for thepromised earthquake-like impact of holism on sport pedagogy by reviewing concepts of special education,curriculum development, and assessment. By relying on holistic insights generated by Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Polanyi, Sheets-Johnstone and others, I attempt to show how traditional pedagogies are turned, as itwere, upside down by holism. I discuss play handicaps, the reciprocal process of growing players andplaygrounds, and the need for ambiguous, meaning-inclusive play assessments. I conclude by underliningpedagogical ironies generated by an earthquake of holism that many have never experienced.
