ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the main research findings and discusses their implications, the relationships between physical education (PE) and gender, the use of Foucauldian theorising and what these might offer to the understanding of boys' performances of gender in PE in the future. It draws on attention to pleasures as an educational, productive practice in boys' PE, while at the same time critiquing such pleasurable moments within this context. The chapter focuses on the research design/methods used, including their limitations and possibilities for future research. It suggests that combining participatory visual research approaches with Foucauldian theoretical frameworks can be fruitful in terms of enabling students to critically examine the pleasures of learning in, through and about movement in PE. The chapter argues that spaces of PE come to matter or become meaningful as pleasurable spaces when boys have the skills and knowledge required to capitalise on them.
