The Crisis of Free Movement in the European Union

2017

L’articolo argomenta che la costruzione istituzionale del processo di integrazione dell’Unione europea ha promosso la libera circolazione, producendo pero un effetto boomerang a causa delle dinamiche meccanicistiche che la caratterizzano. La reazione contro la liberta di movimento si manifesta nella riduzione dei diritti sociali riconosciuti ai cittadini , che a sua volta produce un incremento della precarieta dei migranti interni. Considerato l’elevato numero di cittadini UE mobili, limitare il loro accesso alla cittadinanza significa creare una vasta sottoclasse, poiche gli individui possono muoversi da un posto all’altro per lavorare, ma hanno un accesso differenziato ai diritti sociali …

Communication Practices and Social Tie Formation: A Case Study of Recreational Lifestyle Sports Cultures

2017

This case study examines contemporary recreational sports practitioners’ communication practices and social tie formation from the perspective of two lifestyle sports disciplines: climbing and trail running. Online survey results from 301 climbers and trail runners from Finland indicate that computer-mediated communication (CMC) has established its place in recreational lifestyle sports cultures; however, it has not done it at the expense of face-to-face (FtF) communication. Online interaction produces weak social ties with instrumental and informative value, but physical location is essential in establishing ties with emotional and appraisal value. This paper argues that it is the sports s…

Comparing Notions on European Cultural Heritage in EU Policy Discourse and Scholarly Discussion

Cultural heritage is an idea and a concept repeatedly brought up in current EU policy discourse.

The idea is also often referred to in scholarly discussion. There has been vivid discussion in academia about the possibility of a European cultural heritage and what it could be grounded upon.

Through qualitative content analysis of diverse EU policy documents and selected scholarly publications, the article clarifies the mu…

LO NO-PATRIMONIABLE ES INVISIBLE A LA VISTA: la obsesión moderna por el Patrimonio Turístico.

2019

El presente ensayo cuestiona la presente obsesión occidental por la cultural y la tradición. Desde una perspectiva postmarxista critica, se traza un paralelismo entre el ideal caballeresco de la edad Media tal cual fuese retratado por Johan huizinga y el patrimonio turístico. Ambos dispositivos discursivos tienen como objetivo controlar a la población por medio de la inversión de los valores culturales que rigen la sociedad. En el mundo actual, la busqueda de la tradición intenta sacar de discusión la estructuracion de un sistema donde todos compiten con todos.

Naujojo žmogaus sukūrimo idėjos užuomazgų galima rasti senovės Graikijoje ir Romoje, taip pat utopistų, švietėjų kūriniuose, teologiniuose tekstuose, tačiau ši ideologema galutinai susiformavo XIX a. pabaigoje, o bandymai ją realizuoti praktiškai sietini su (para)totalitarizmo įsigalėjimu. Vienas iš žinomiausių tokių bandymų pavyzdžių – siekis sukurti Naująjį sovietinį žmogų. Šis bandymas nuo kitų skiriasi komunistine ideologija, kuri kiekvienam reiškiniui suteikia „papildomų reikšmių ar funkcijų“ (Prozorov, 2013, p. 210). Kitaip tariant, visus dalykus SSRS galima suprasti ir paaiškinti tik diktatūros tikslu – utopinė ateities visuomenė „komunizmas“, kurios vardu valstybė viską ir visus reg…

Reflexive Modernization and the Disembedding of Jūdō from 1946 to the 2000 Sydney Olympics

2004

This article considers some of the sociologically significant changes to jūdō in its process of transformation from a Budō based martial art into a modern competitive spectator sport. Taking the period of time from 1946 until the Sydney Olympics, an examination is undertaken using Giddens’s notion of reflexive modernization in which key aspects of the original jūdō are disembedded or ‘lifted out’ of the practice. They are then re-embedded with western structures, practices and meanings. Central themes to emerge from this analysis are the social forces of internationalization, institutionalization and commodification of jūdō over this period, each of which contributes to a reflexive moderni…

De Cruz and De Smedt (2015) have clearly demonstrated the extent to which – and the way in which – evolved cognitive defaults play a role in the emergence of theistic ideas about God and in the for...
