And yet, as one can find by frequenting dance studios that teach pole dancing, it is practiced not only by women, but also by men and children. Thus keeping in mind the ambiguity that arises at the intersection of competing optics in decoding the pole dance—with regard to “perpetuate interpretation logic” and the everyday experience of people undertaking the activity—the aim of this paper is to reflect on the issue of constructing and interpreting the meanings of actions and processes within the context of pole dancing. These processes can be seen as a reflection of the everyday life in which they occur.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Creating and Decoding the Meanings of Pole Dancing as a Sport Activity}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116345/PDF/KiS.2019.63.3.6.pdf}, keywords={pole dance, sport activity, meaning of action, symbol, contemporary everyday life}, }
