Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football Comparative Responses across Europe

Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football Comparative Responses across Europe

As football clubs have become luxury investments their decisions increasingly mirror those of any other business organisation. Football supporters have been encouraged to express their club loyalty by ‘thinking business’ - acting as consumers and generating money deemed necessary for their clubs to compete at the highest levels. In critical studies supporters have been portrayed as passive or reluctant consumers who imprisoned by enduring club loyalties embody a fatalistic attitude to their own exploitation. As this book aims to show however such expressions of loyalty are far from hegemonic and often interface haphazardly with traditional ideas about what constitutes the ‘loyal fan’. While there is little doubt that professional football is experiencing commodification the reality is that football clubs are not simply businesses nor can they ever aspire to be organisations driven solely by expanding or protecting economic value. Rather clubs hover uncertainly between being businesses and community assets. Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football explores the implications of this uncertainty for understanding supporter resistance to and compromise with commodification. Every club and its supporters exist in their own unique national and local contexts. In this respect this book offers a Euro-wide comparison of supporter reactions to commercialisation and provides unique insight into how football supporters actively mediate regional local and national contexts as they intersect with the universalistic presumptions of commerce. This book was previously published as a special issue of Soccer and Society. | Football Supporters and the Commercialisation of Football Comparative Responses across Europe

The Outlaw Biker Legacy of Violence

The Outlaw Biker Legacy of Violence

Outlaw bikers represent a very small percentage of motorcycle riders who join motorcycle clubs but they receive disproportionate attention due to their mystique unconventional behavior and violence. Although the outlaw biker phenomenon started in the United States it has since spread throughout the world. The involvement of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) in organized crime at the local regional national and transnational levels fosters violence that puts innocent persons at risk for death or injury and leads to the demonization of “bikers” and the overcriminalization of motorcycle enthusiasts and club members. The Outlaw Biker Legacy of Violence written by internationally known expert Thomas Barker addresses the legacy of violence in the outlaw biker culture and tackles the implications of the violence that progressed as outlaw biker clubs evolved into adult criminal gangs engaged in crimes for profit over long periods of time and across borders. Beginning with a history of outlaw bikers and the construction of the “folk devil” of the biker the book outlines the distinctions between conventional motorcycle clubs Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and then traces the expansion of these groups across the globe. This book will be relevant to those interested in the examination or investigation of biker gangs in particular or organized criminal groups in general. It is essential reading for criminal justice students and others studying social groups gangs and organizations or the sociology of deviance and is also relevant for law enforcement professionals dealing with these organizations

Social Closure and International Society Status Groups from the Family of Civilised Nations to the G20

Laying the foundations of a theory of ‘international social closure’ this book examines how actors compete for a seat at the table in the management of international society and how that competition stratifies the international domain. In a broad historical survey from the ‘Family of Civilised Nations’ through the Great Powers’ club to the G7 and G20 today Naylor investigates the politics of membership in the exclusive clubs that manage international society and ensure its survival providing us with a new way to think about how status competition has changed over time and what this means for international politics today. With its sociologically grounded theory this book advances English School scholarship and transforms the study of contemporary summitry providing a ground-breaking approach rooted in archival research elite interviews and ethnographic participant observation. This book is of interest to international relations scholars interested in the ‘expansion’ and globalisation of international society the history of international summits and transformations in international order as well as to those examining concepts including stratification hierarchy and networked governance. With its emphasis on non-state actors in global governance scholars and practitioners alike working on/for civil society will also find this research of great value. | Social Closure and International Society Status Groups from the Family of Civilised Nations to the G20

The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry

The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry

The global health and fitness industry is worth an estimated $4 trillion. We spend $90 billion each year on health club memberships and $100 billion each year on dietary supplements. In such an industrial climate lax regulations on the products we are sold (supplements fad-diets training programs gadgets and garments) result in marketing campaigns underpinned by strong claims and weak evidence. Moreover our critical faculties are ill-suited to a culture characterized by fake news social media misinformation and bad science. We have become walking talking prey to 21st-Century Snake Oil salesmen. In The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science Nicholas B. Tiller confronts the claims behind the products and the evidence behind the claims. The author discusses what might be wrong with the sales pitch the glossy magazine advert and the celebrity endorsements that our heuristically-wired brains find so innately attractive. Tiller also explores the appeal of the one quick fix the fallacious arguments that are a mainstay of product advertising and the critical steps we must take in retraining our minds to navigate the pitfalls of the modern consumerist culture. This informative and accessible volume pulls no punches in scrutinizing the plausibility of and evidence for the most popular sports products and practices on the market. Readers are encouraged to confront their conceptualizations of the industry and by the book’s end they will have acquired the skills necessary to independently judge the effectiveness of sports-related products. This treatise on the commercialization of science in sport and exercise is a must-read for exercisers athletes students and practitioners who hope to retain their intellectual integrity in a lucrative health and fitness industry that is spiraling out-of-control. | The Skeptic's Guide to Sports Science Confronting Myths of the Health and Fitness Industry

Death and the Rock Star

Death and the Rock Star

The untimely deaths of Amy Winehouse (2011) and Whitney Houston (2012) and the ’resurrection’ of Tupac Shakur for a performance at the Coachella music festival in April 2012 have focused the media spotlight on the relationship between popular music fame and death. If the phrase ’sex drugs and rock’n’roll’ ever qualified a lifestyle it has left many casualties in its wake and with the ranks of dead musicians growing over time so the types of death involved and the reactions to them have diversified. Conversely as many artists who fronted the rock’n’roll revolution of the 1950s and 1960s continue to age the idea of dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse (which gave rise for instance to the myth of the ’27 Club’) no longer carries the same resonance that it once might have done. This edited collection explores the reception of dead rock stars ’rock’ being taken in the widest sense as the artists discussed belong to the genres of rock’n’roll (Elvis Presley) disco (Donna Summer) pop and pop-rock (Michael Jackson Whitney Houston Amy Winehouse) punk and post-punk (GG Allin Ian Curtis) rap (Tupac Shakur) folk (the Dutchman André Hazes) and ’world’ music (Fela Kuti). When music artists die their fellow musicians producers fans and the media react differently and this book brings together their intertwining modalities of reception. The commercial impact of death on record sales copyrights and print media is considered and the different justifications by living artists for being involved with the dead through covers sampling and tributes. The cultural representation of dead singers is investigated through obituaries biographies and biopics observing that posthumous fame provides coping mechanisms for fans and consumers of popular culture more generally to deal with the knowledge of their own mortality. Examining the contrasting ways in which male and female dead singers are portrayed in the media the book | Death and the Rock Star

The Welfare of the Child The Principle and the Law

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The publication in 1988 of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses triggered a furor that pitted much of the Islamic world against the West over issues of blasphemy and freedom of expression. The controversy soon took on the aspect of a confrontation of civilizations provoking powerful emotions on a global level. It involved censorship protests riots a break in diplomatic relations culminating in the notorious Iranian edict calling for the death of the novelist. In The Rushdie Affair Daniel Pipes explains why the publication of The Satanic Verses became a cataclysmic event with far-reaching political and social consequences. Pipes looks at the Rushdie affair in both its political and cultural aspects and shows in considerable detail what the fundamentalists perceived as so offensive in The Satanic Verses as against what Rushdie's novel actually said. Pipes explains how the book created a new crisis between Iran and the West at the time-disrupting international diplomacy billions of dollars in trade and prospects for the release of Western hostages in Lebanon. Pipes maps out the long-term implications of the crisis. If the Ayatollah so easily intimidated the West can others do the same? Can millions of fundamentalist Muslims now living in the United States and Europe possibly be assimilated into a culture so alien to them? Insightful and brilliantly written this volume provides a full understanding of one of the most significant events in recent years. Koenraad Elst's postscript reviews the enduring impact of the Rushdie affair. | The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West
