Disability and care in the context of physical excellence – Revisiting the ecology of sport
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using a sociological perspective, the article shows that masters of capoeira in Brazil and boxing coaches in France have adopted an ‘ecological’ approach to society, particularly when they are working with people with disabilities. The comparative research presented in this paper is based on ethnographic data. The authors demonstrate that the ecological approach developed in these two activities is based on an ‘ethics of care’ perspective which focuses on human vulnerability. At the same time, social actors are adapting to a context which has the potential to provide income and new status. This situation differs from what is traditionally observed in care studies. Boxing coaches and masters of capoeira are developing a ‘strategic-functionalist’ approach whereby they demonstrate the educational and welfare functions of their respective practices. By doing so, they seek to occupy a more important place in the social arena by meeting disability-related expectations and new challenges linked to inclusion.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
