Paper Session
Contribution
Trendsport theory has not been developed especially for the explanation of Parkour. Partly the theory has to be revised in contact with the glocal movement of Parkour and its variations (Freerunning, Tricking, Parcouring). Parkour and the self-mediatization of sportive youth cultures make clear that there is a constantly shifting popular culture that makes enacted comments on urban surrounding, living conditions, social participation that affects passive recipients symbolically. The body is used as a discursive operator (Berthelot) and at the same time provides the basis for changes in identity constitution. Different variations of the scene work with different movement styles and aesthetic features in their video presentation at YouTube. Parkour in its original version implements a subversive commentary about urban city planning and regains it symbolically. Informal learning in sportive youth cultures is of high importance for the acquisition of body and social capital (Bourdieu). The body knowledge of Traceures can be made explicit at least partly by the analysis of their activities, movements and performances.
