Overview: Thing and Jensen use Norbert Elias's process sociological perspective to discuss the development of gymnastic culture in Denmark. They present two case studies to illustrate how gymnastics - in collaboration with the state - attempts to provide citizens with compentencies and qualifications that are in keeping with the spirit of Denmark bodily movement culture.
