身體文化的範疇,包含以身體或身體活動為基礎或媒介所形成的文化。以發展途徑而言,目前我國乃將各項身體經驗與運動文化統合其中並進行探討,除使體育的研究領域往更寬廣的視野邁進,另一方面也將社會學、哲學、人類學、歷史學、醫學中與「身體」有關的討論,集結在一個學術平台中相互交流。由於目前未有統整性的期刊回顧研究,本研究針對2005年至2011年的《身體文化學報》共106篇論文,採用內容分析法並進行期刊學術生產力的比較;基於期刊文章能反映出刊物審查委員們的視野、興趣以及客觀性,並呈現出該領域的核心價值與信念,彰顯當代社會文化現況與研究趨勢。故本文可做為瞭解臺灣目前的身體文化研究趨勢與學術研究基地分佈之參考資料,並間接提供我國未來進行身體文化相關研究之建議。
