Book Synopsis Forbidden Football in Ceausescu’s Romania by : László Péter
Download or read book Forbidden Football in Ceausescu’s Romania written by László Péter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an ethnographic description and sociological interpretation of the ‘football gatherings’ that evolved out of central Romania in the late twentieth century. In the 1980's, Romanian public television did not broadcast football mega-events for economic and political reasons. In response, masses of people would leave their homes and travel into the mountains to pick-up the TV broadcast from neighbouring countries. The phenomenon grew into a social institution with a penetrating force: it produced an alternative social space and a dissident public that pointed to a form of resistance taking place through football. Forbidden Football in Ceausescu’s Romania provides an insight into the everyday life under the pressure of dictatorship and, through the special patterns of sports consumption, it tells a social history through small individual stories related to football.
Book Synopsis Transnational Television History by : Andreas Fickers
Download or read book Transnational Television History written by Andreas Fickers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although television has developed into a major agent of the transnational and global flow of information and entertainment, television historiography and scholarship largely remains a national endeavour, partly due to the fact that television has been understood as a tool for the creation of national identity. But the breaking of the quasi-monopoly of public service broadcasters all over Europe in the 1980s has changed the television landscape, and cross-border television channels - with the help of satellite and the Internet - have catapulted the relatively closed television nations into the universe of globalized media channels. At least, this is the picture painted by the popular meta-narratives of European television history. Transnational Television History asks us to re-evaluate the function of television as a medium of nation-building in its formative years and to reassess the historical narrative that insists that European television only became transnational with the emergence of more commercial services and new technologies from the 1980s. It also questions some common assumptions in television historiography by offering some alternative perspectives on the complex processes of transnational circulation of television technology, professionals, programmes and aesthetics. This book was originally published as a special issue of Media History.

Book Synopsis Sport and Foreign Policy in a Globalizing World by : Steven J. Jackson
Download or read book Sport and Foreign Policy in a Globalizing World written by Steven J. Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is effecting a close convergence of sport and foreign policy. In order to respond to novel social, political, cultural and economic pressures, states are increasingly turning to sport as a foreign policy instrument; and they cannot ignore the corresponding influence that global sport has on their core interests. This book is devoted to exploring this relationship in detail. Although any examination of sport and foreign policy inevitably focuses on issues related to both politics and international relations, the primary intention here is to consider the dimensions associated with foreign policy. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
Book Synopsis Sport and Body Politics in Japan by : Wolfram Manzenreiter
Download or read book Sport and Body Politics in Japan written by Wolfram Manzenreiter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is more to Japanese sport than sumo, karate and baseball. This study of social sport in Japan pursues a comprehensive approach towards sport as a distinctive cultural sphere at the intersection of body culture, political economy, and cultural globalization. Bridging the gap between Bourdieu and Foucault, it explains the significance of the body as a field of action and a topic of discourse in molding subject and society in modern Japan. More specifically, it provides answers to questions such as how and to what purposes are politics of the body articulated in Japan, particularly in the realm of sport? What is the agenda of state actors that develop politics aiming at the body, and to what degree are political and societal objectives impacted by commercial and non-political actors? How are political decisions on the allocation of resources made, and what are their consequences for sporting opportunities and practices of the body in general? Without neglecting the significance of sport spectatorship, this study takes a particular angle by looking at sport as a field of practice, pain and pleasure.
Book Synopsis Kiss the Hand You Cannot Bite by : Edward Behr
Download or read book Kiss the Hand You Cannot Bite written by Edward Behr and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behr's probing analysis of the historical roots of the Ceausescu dictatorship in Romania goes a long way toward explaining the pathological behavior characterizing the rule of t̀̀he communist Dracula'' and why his regime endured. À̀ man like me, '' Nicolae Ceausescu boasted, c̀̀omes along only once every five hundred years.'' Behr ( Hirohito ) makes clear what manner of man Ceausescu was, how he ruled his country and the important role his wife, Elena, played in the regime. The picture that comes into focus is that of an evil-minded, paranoid and petty couple, at once canny and stupid, who relied on a huge state security apparatus, the Securitate , to spread fear among their extraordinarily submissive subjects. The book includes a full account of the popular uprising in December 1989 and the arrest, trial and execution of the Ceausescus. Behr notes that the bulk of the officers and officials of the Securitate remain in place; thus the dead ''Dracula'' continues to cast his shadow over the land. This is a rare close look at one of the most grotesque of the Communist personality cults.--

Book Synopsis Stefan Bucovineanul-Voloseniuc – Just Imagine by : Stefan Bucovineanul-Voloseniuc
Download or read book Stefan Bucovineanul-Voloseniuc – Just Imagine written by Stefan Bucovineanul-Voloseniuc and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just Imagine is the inspirational story of Stefan Voloseniuc’s journey from a very deprived background in a remote Romanian village, to becoming a successful businessman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist in London. It describes the challenges he faced growing up in the closing years of Nicolae Ceausescu’s brutal, controlling, and corrupt communist Romania and the path he chose to create a new life for himself and his family. Stefan is one of approximately 7 million Romanians now living abroad, including an estimated 1.4 million in the UK, and he hopes this book may also help to inspire them and show how through hard work, dedication, and imagination it is possible to build a new life away from Romania. Just Imagine is a phrase Stefan uses every day and he passionately believes it is this positive and creative approach that has enabled a shy child from Romania to launch his own businesses, chat with King Charles III at Windsor Castle, meet the Prime Minister of the UK, become a sponsor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and create a series of successful companies that employ many hundreds of people in the UK and Romania.

Book Synopsis Nationalist Politics and Everyday Ethnicity in a Transylvanian Town by : Rogers Brubaker
Download or read book Nationalist Politics and Everyday Ethnicity in a Transylvanian Town written by Rogers Brubaker and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated on the geographic margins of two nations, yet imagined as central to each, Transylvania has long been a site of nationalist struggles. Since the fall of communism, these struggles have been particularly intense in Cluj, Transylvania's cultural and political center. Yet heated nationalist rhetoric has evoked only muted popular response. The citizens of Cluj--the Romanian-speaking majority and the Hungarian-speaking minority--have been largely indifferent to the nationalist claims made in their names. Based on seven years of field research, this book examines not only the sharply polarized fields of nationalist politics--in Cluj, Transylvania, and the wider region--but also the more fluid terrain on which ethnicity and nationhood are experienced, enacted, and understood in everyday life. In doing so the book addresses fundamental questions about ethnicity: where it is, when it matters, and how it works. Bridging conventional divisions of academic labor, Rogers Brubaker and his collaborators employ perspectives seldom found together: historical and ethnographic, institutional and interactional, political and experiential. Further developing the argument of Brubaker's groundbreaking Ethnicity without Groups, the book demonstrates that it is ultimately in and through everyday experience--as much as in political contestation or cultural articulation--that ethnicity and nationhood are produced and reproduced as basic categories of social and political life.
