Understanding the Social Significance of a Sports Club for University Students in South Korea
Yi Yin Chen; Changsoo Hur
Multicultural Education Review, v16 n2 p133-154 2024
Aiming to explore the meaning and value of the space of a sports club for university students in South Korea, this study employs the idea of spatial culture by Henri Lefebvre. The foundation of the cultural experience of a sports club is the cultural experience of a specific space; therefore, this paper takes the concern of spatial culture as the theoretical starting point. The research method is participant observation, and the researchers explored a sports club culture in South Korea for 4 months. The topics discussed in this study, such as, the boundaryless atmosphere within the sports club which provides the possibility for students to seek empathy; the sports club provides an obvious boundary with daily life which allows students to build another identity for resisting dissatisfaction with life; and last, it also provides the possibility of learning for students in a changing and diverse campus environment.
