Embedded Expectations, Embodied Knowledge and the Movements That Connect

A System Theoretical Attempt to Explain the Use and Non-Use of Sport Facilities

Jan Ove Tangen

Telemark University College, Norway

In this article I propose another way of studying the use and non-use of sport facilities. I argue that sport facilities embed expectations observable to individuals who are forced to meet these expectations or not. I also claim that our choices concerning the use or non-use of a sport facility are grounded in our embodied knowledge, a knowledge that is not easy to make conscious. My last claim is that movements connect the embedded expectations and embodied knowledge and eventually mediate changes in both these structures.

Key Words: embedded expectations • embodied knowledge • Luhmann • sports facilities
