The Art of the Accident
Trump Studies
This book addresses the seismic political events of Donald Trump’s presidency and the British vote to leave the EU. It explores why citizens vote against their own best interests, and demonstrates the role and value of universities in a time when evidence, expertise and facts often dissolve into opinion, emotion and fake news.
Theoretical Times
In Theoretical Times, Steve Redhead describes the post-crash economic, environmental, political and cultural condition we live in today. As the rise of the international right - Donald Trump, Brexit, Marine Le Pen - swarms the globe, a new global battle within the right is developing: the globalists and neo-liberals versus the economic nationalists and protectionists. What then are the prospects for a resurrected theoretical politics of the left?…
Trump Studies
This article builds on the embryonic inter/trans/anti/disciplinary Trump Studies to generate a theoretical framework for understanding the Brexit outcome and Trump's victory. The consequences of researchers operating in a post-expertise political sphere means that new theories are required to create innovative interdisciplinary solutions to difficult, defiant and troubling social and economic problems. Using Jean Baudrillard's theorization of ban…
Theoretical Times
This book examines how theory and theorists have achieved a global audience as never before in the post-Global Financial Crisis era. This crisis and the rise of neo-right populism has brought about unprecedented interest in theory, which has become central to the political, economic, cultural and social reconstruction of the world.
You Make Me Feel Mighty Real
Taking Jean Baudrillard’s notion of the hyperreal and extending it to include the work of Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek, this chapter looks at how the combination of the three named distinct, singular theorists might change leisure theory and its ongoing engagement with the concept of hyperreality in the context of globalisation and digitisation.
Recession, Recovery, Regeneration and Resilience
This article aligns theories of city imaging and physical cultural studies to probe the city of Newport. This 'new' city shares many cultural and economic characteristics with the rest of Wales, but also reveals some signicant differences. We focus on and probe the movement policies and cultures in the city, understanding the relationship between bodies and economics, cities and health. Through this discussion, we weave analyses of resilience thr…
‘We’re Not Racist, We Only Hate Mancs’
This chapter looks at the development of post-subculture as a concept for understanding recent changes in the nature of football fandom. It contains some insights for the disciplines of cultural studies on the one hand and criminology on the other, and, within these disciplines, the respective sub-disciplines of post-subcultural studies and critical criminology. The presence of writers for the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight in the historical s…

The pushbike song
This article explores how small cities use cycling for both residential transportation and active tourism. While cycling may be child's play, and indeed a part of childhood socialization, the 'pushbike' has a role in regional development. Our work investigates cycling and cycling policy. We then focus on one small city at the southern tip of Western Australia. Albany is attempting to transform itself into a cycling city and an international capit…

We have never been postmodern
"Is it possible that various disciplines, theorists and cultural commentators have been hurtling down a blind alley in the last thirty years, searching for the holy grail of the postmodern? What if, after all, we have never have been postmodern? Or what if we are, instead, now living 'after postmodernity'? As global culture rushes off the cliff of catastrophe with its neo-liberal, neo-conservative ideologies mangled in the process, this book prov…

Post-Cultural State
Lock, stock and two smoking hooligans
In a period where there is a relative dearth of criminological, sociological or cultural accounts of football hooligan subcultures, ‘low culture’ amateur journalistic accounts have proliferated. They are now extensive in number and collected together form a library of hooligan stories in the fashionable, confessional form of sports fan memoir which is termed here ‘low sport journalism’. They are distinct from, but related to, the football and you…

From Marx to Berlusconi
This essay reviews the life and work of the Italian Marxist philosopher Lucio Colletti (1924–2001). Colletti developed theories of value, aesthetics, law, and politics that are still relevant but that have been strangely sidelined, even within Marxist discourse. In the 1970s, he was described as the most important living Italian Marxist philosopher, eclipsing even such figures as Antonio Gramsci and Galvano Della Volpe. By the 1990s, he was in th…

The Legality of Boxing
Those Absent From the Stadium are Always Right
This essay investigates the speeding up of sport and sports media in contemporary accelerated culture within the sociology of modernity. It reviews some ideas of Paul Virilio, including 'theory at the speed of light,' which illuminates the impact of new information and communication technologies. Although Virilio is absent from sociological studies of sport and media, this essay begins to rectify this, looking anew at modernity, media, and sport …
This Sporting Life
This paper attempts to analyze some aspects of the genesis and cultural production of The Football Factory by John King, a best selling 'cult fiction' book in the mid‐1990s, and the making of the novel into a feature film released for the cinema and on DVD 10 years later. The media moral panic surrounding the film is contextualized and the book and film situated in contemporary popular literature and culture. The film was lambasted by critics par…

Have I the right? Legitimacy, authenticity and community in folk's politics
In the last few years, in Britain, one of pop's cycles has turned again and folk has come back into fashion. It can be seen in the success of the Pogues, in the reformation of Fairport Convention, in the revamping of the magazine Folk Roots, in the content of Andy Kershaw's Radio One show, and perhaps most dramatically in the celebration of 'world music'. The revival of folk entails more than a revival of old names and sounds, it also contains a …

Some Reflections on Discourses on Football Hooliganism
This essay is partly a response to the recent ethnographic research carried out by Armstrong and Harris, and partly a survey of a more general set of interconnected discourses about football hooliganism as a social phenomenon over the past thirty years into which the work of Armstrong and Harris fits. Discourses on football hooliganism seemed to have proliferated just as the 'object' in question seems to have disappeared from public view; at leas…

Creative Modernity
This essay introduces two new concepts into the international debate about the theory and practice of creative industries. These concepts are 'creative modernity' and the 'new cultural state'. The new cultural state has a double meaning. It refers to the new cultural condition we find ourselves in, what we call here creative modernity, and the form in which the modern state has governed, or intervened in, culture through law and other means of go…

The Paul Virilio Reader
A critic of the art of technology, Paul Virilio has taught us that much media image is a strategy of war and that accident is becoming indistinguishable from attack. In these times of fierce conflict over which kind of capitalism is to take over the shrinking globe, and indeed which modernities we will live in during the twenty-first century, Paul Virilio is a significant contemporary theorist. But Virilio's work, originally published in French a…
The Aesthetics of Disappearance
Focusing on the logistics of perception, this title introduces the author's understanding of 'picnolepsy' - the epileptic state of consciousness produced by speed, or rather, the consciousness invented by the subject through its very absence: the gaps, glitches, and speed bumps lacing through and defining it
Hit and tell
This is a review essay on the genre of British soccer hooligan books. These 'hit and tell' confessional tales of soccer casuals fandom are told in the form of an historical memoir. Five examples of hit and tell books are reviewed and assessed against the novelistic accounts found in contemporary football fiction books by authors such as John King and Kevin Sampson and the more rigorous demands of the sociology of soccer culture. It is argued in t…
