Abstract
The structure of knowledge and its relation to social structure remain acute issues in the study of sport and physical education. This paper argues against common conceptions of knowledge that have resulted from positivist and rationalist tendencies in these fields. The position is set forth that knowledge is a constitutive human practice that tends to produce and reproduce the meanings, values, and structural realities of the social world in which it occurs. This theoretical standpoint sets the framework for the three papers that follow.
