Oahu's Waimea Bay attracts the world's best big wave surfers-men and women who come to test their physical strength, courage, style, knowledge of the water, and love of the ocean. Sociologist Ugo Corte sees their fun as the outcome of social interaction within a community. Both as participant and observer, he examines how mentors, novices, and peers interact to create episodes of collective fun in a dangerous setting; how they push one another's limits, nourish a lifestyle, advance the sport and, in some cases, make a living based on their passion for the sport. In Dangerous Fun, Corte traces how surfers earn and maintain a reputation within the field, and how, as innovations are introduced, and as they progress, establish themselves and age, they modify their strategies for maximizing performance and limiting chances of failure. Corte argues that fun is a social phenomenon, a pathway to solidarity rooted in the delight in actualizing the self within a social world. It is a form of group cohesion achieved through shared participation in risky interactions with uncertain outcomes. Ultimately, Corte provides an understanding of collective effervescence, emotional energy, and the interaction rituals leading to fateful moments-moments of decision that, once made, transform one's self-concept irrevocably."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 797.32099 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 797.32099 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 797.32099 Co Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.32099 Corte Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library R -- Hawaiian Reference H 797.32099 Corte Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.32099 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.32099 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.32099 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.32099 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 797.32099 Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
