为了解决体现和学习的社会学问题，在这篇文章中，我们探索了一个目前研究不足的体育文化领域的“风化”身体。在社会学中，天气体验也没有得到充分的探索，在这里，我们深入研究在地球上最极端、最具身体挑战性的环境之一--高海拔山区--的天气体验，更具体地说，是对天气工作和天气学习的体验。借鉴现象学社会学的理论框架，以及对19名国际高海拔登山者的访谈研究项目，我们调查了天气作为生活和体验的肉体和认知。我们特别感兴趣的是概念化和理论化具体化的生命通过其存在的不同方面与环境联系的方式。我们认为，‘天气工作’和‘天气学习’这两个新颖的概念为工作中的身心世界联系提供了突出的例子，作为一种具体化的实践和思维方式，高海拔登山运动的体育文化强烈地勾勒出了这种联系。
In order to address sociological concerns with embodiment and learning, in this article we explore the ‘weathering’ body in a currently under-researched physical-cultural domain. Weather experiences, too, are under-explored in sociology, and here we examine in depth the lived experience of weather and, more specifically, ‘weather work’ and ‘weather learning’ in one of the most extreme and corporeally challenging environments on earth: high-altitude mountains. Drawing on a theoretical framework of phenomenological sociology, and an interview-based research project with 19 international, high-altitude mountaineers, we investigate weather as lived and experienced both corporeally and cognitively. We are particularly interested in conceptualizing and theorizing the ways in which embodied beings relate to the environment through different aspects of their being. The novel concepts of ‘weather work’ and ‘weather learning’, we argue, provide salient examples of the mind-body-world nexus at work, as an embodied practice and mode of thinking, strongly contoured by the physical culture of high-altitude mountaineering.
