Europeanised identifications among football fans. The analysis of discussions in online message boards.
2021
International audience; Across Europe, national professional football leagues have seen increasing numbers of players from other EU states, while the Champions League and the Europa League have become a focal point for many teams. This article seeks to investigate how far this Europeanisation on the organisational level of football is reflected in identities and discourses of fans. We develop a framework to analyse Europeanisation of identities among football fans. In the empirical part we conduct a qualitative content analysis of fan discussions on publicly available message boards among fans of four first league teams in England and Austria. Our empirical findings indicate that fans’ iden…
Sport sponsorship in Finland: the case study of FC JJK Jyväskylä
2013
This paper seeks to analyse sport sponsorship in Finland via using the case study of Football Club JJK Jyväskylä from the Finnish Premier League. The results of a master’s thesis conducted on FC JJK fans’ sponsor awareness and sponsor orientation is presented. This research has provided implications to the management of the club, such as how to increase sponsorship efficiency, how to benefit from applying sponsorship alignment as well as relationship marketing. In order to successfully implement the study, an online survey, interviews, and participant observation was utilised. In addition, statistical data were obtained from the club. It has been concluded that JJK fans’ sponsor awareness …
Impianto perfezionato per il trattamento di acque reflue
2019
Negli ultimi anni, a causa dell’incremento dei costi di smaltimento dei fanghi prodotti nel corso dei processi depurativi basati su metodi biologici, si va diffondendo sempre più la tendenza e la necessità di ridurne la produzione direttamente alla fonte, ovvero nel corso dello stesso processo che li genera. Diversi metodi sono proposti in letteratura e molti di essi sono già coperti da brevetto (OSA®, Cannibal®, Biminnex®), applicati ai processi biologici a fanghi attivi convenzionali (CAS). Il limite di questi processi è che una riduzione molto spinta della produzione di fango di supero, ottenuta sottoponendo la biomassa a stress biologico, comporta significativi peggioramenti della quali…
Late Quaternary slip rates for the southern Elsinore fault in the Coyote Mountains, southern California from analysis of alluvial fan landforms and c…
2019
Abstract Offset alluvial fans along the Elsinore fault in the south-central Coyote Mountains were studied to resolve an average late Quaternary slip rate for this major western strand of the San Andreas fault system in southern California. Alluvial fans and their offsets were mapped using high-resolution DEMs combined with field observations of fan-surface morphology and the character of the soils developed in each fan remnant. Clast assemblage data was used to determine the source of each alluvial fan upstream of the fault, and U-series dating of pedogenic carbonate was used to estimate minimum ages of the alluvial fan surfaces. Forty U-Th dates on pedogenic carbonate confirm the utility o…
Stratigraphy of the Neoproterozoic Damara Sequence in northwest Namibia: Slope to basin sub-marine mass-transport deposits and olistolith fields
2016
Abstract The Neoproterozoic Damara Sequence (>1000 m thick) is composed of siliciclastic and carbonate rocks that crop out in the Damara Belt, Namibia. In Damaraland (including the Vrede, Bethanis, Austerlitz and Toekoms farms), these rocks were deformed and metamorphosed under greenschist facies (biotite zone) conditions during the Damara Orogeny. The stratigraphy and paleoenvironments of the Damara Sequence rocks are debated by the scientific community. We use field data, including detailed 1:25,000 geological mapping, elaboration of stratigraphic profiles and observation of preserved primary structures, textures and composition, to identify lithofacies and lithofacies associations, and t…
Fan Deltas and Floodplains in Valencian Coastal Plains
2018
The Valencian coastal plains are formed at the end of two important mountain systems: the Iberian Mountain Range to the north and the Baetic Mountains to the south. As a result of tectonic and neotectonic activity, several graben have been formed at the foot of these reliefs, which have been filled with Plio-Quaternary deposits. In all the coastal plains a depositional sequence is repeated in which the river deposits -fan deltas and alluvial plains- alternate with lagoons/marshes. Basin dimensions, sediment input, tectonics and neotectonics in the study area all determine the size, style and characteristics of fluvial forms, which in turn, influence the characteristics of the coast. Ephemer…
The impacts of legitimacy appraisal of defeat on supporters’ identity management strategies: Testing the role of emotions
2022
Emotion is a central feature of many competitive sports. In this regard, re- search revealed that defeats have powerful impacts on athletes who can feel deep- ly distressed or annoyed. Comparatively, relatively few studies have directly ad- dressed the emotional experience of supporters associated with losing teams. This is surprising when taking into account the negative consequences of emotions on intergroup relations (i.e., fans riots). To fill this gap, it is crucial to identify to whom these emotions are addressed. In this study, we proposed that the ob- ject of specific emotions would trigger the use of specific identity management strategies depending on the legitimacy appraisal of t…
Basking in Reflected Glory and Blasting : Differences in identity management strategies between two groups of highly identified soccer fans
2007
This study examines in soccer fanzine two identity management strategies - BIRGing and blasting -- of two groups of highly identified soccer fans with allegiance to the same team. Results showed strong support for the BIRG phenomenon among both ultra fans groups but little evidence of the blasting phenomenon among either group. The implications of these findings are discussed in regards to social identity management among sport fans.
Anamorphoses du fantastique et identités des personnages dans 'Adieu' d’Honoré de Balzac
2019
Adieu, breve e drammatica novella pubblicata da Balzac nel 1830, si pone all’incrocio di generi letterari diversi (romanzo storico, récit d’aliéné ecc.) sui quali prevale una tonalità fantastica che ricorre sotto varie forme nel corso della narrazione. Questo articolo si propone di dimostrare come l’alternanza dei registri narrativi incida significativamente sullo statuto identitario dei personaggi e come per essi sia possibile trovare un’interessante chiave di lettura nelle anamorfosi del fantastico. Adieu, short and dramatic novel published by Balzac in 1830, stands at the intersection of different literary genres (historical novel, récit d’aliéné etc.) on which prevails a fantastic tonal…
IMMAGINAZIONE FILMICA E FANTASCIENZA NELL' EDUCAZIONE DEI GIOVANI
2018
Questo articolo rivaluta l’esperienza filmica come un’occasione di apprendimento per i giovani, nei quali provoca un’immaginazione che permette loro di dotare di nuovi significati la realtà. In particolare, il cinema di fantascienza viene considerato un passaggio imprescindibile per la formazione dell’identità della persona, sia per l’aspetto avventuroso, che conduce gli spettatori ad una graduale metamorfosi da una fase ingenua ad una visione più realistica di se stessi, delle cose e degli altri, sia per la vocazione utopica, cioè per la capacità di immaginare il futuro che fornisce loro un modo per conoscere il presente, recuperare la memoria storica e progettare il futuro. This paper re-…
