‘Standing in Your Cardigan’
Assessing options for poppers policy in Canada
Winning football’s war for talent
The English Premier League (EPL) has undergone a significant commercial and economic transformation in the last 30 years. During this period, labour migration has emerged as a pre-eminent process in the development and competitiveness of the league. For the EPL’s 20 clubs, the desires to remain both commercially and performatively competitive on a global stage necessitates the requirement to identify, attract and retain as many highly skilled wor…
Football, migration, and mental illness
The process of international migration can be stressful – it is rarely simple or straightforward. Whilst the heterogeneous nature of migratory experiences means that the stress associated with migration may not result in common mental disorders (CMDs) for all migrants, scholars have argued that some migrant groups face greater exposure to risk factors associated with the development of CMDs than others. In this conceptual paper, I draw on scholar…

Human rights, public health and Covid-19 in Canada
The man who would be worth billions
This paper builds on the limited body of work that currently exists in respect of sports work and mental illness. It does so by drawing on the case of Vincent Pericard, a Cameroonian born, French international footballer who was described in a 1999 television documentary as ‘The man who will be worth billions’, but who, following a poorly managed transfer between Juventus and Portsmouth, retired from the game at the age of 28, having being diagno…
Strategic Brand Management
Strategic Brand Management is made of three parts. Part 1 is about the sociocultural meaning of brands. It looks at understanding the social psychology of brands, emotion and brands, the symbolic meaning of brands, and cultural meaning of systems and brands. The second part looks at brand equity and brand building. Chapters in this section look at brand equity, brand communication, and brand performance. The third part covers managing brands and …
Finding the back of the net
The intention of this paper is to analyse the role that networks play in enabling the recruitment of a group of male migrant professional footballers employed by clubs based in Norway's top professional football league - the Tippeligaen. Based upon a series of semi-structured interviews conducted with migrants and recruiters, and synthesising concepts derived from the sociology of sport and the broader study of migration, the analysis identifies …
Using latent class analysis to produce a typology of environmental concern in the UK
Factor analysis is often used to study environmental concern. This choice of methodology is driven by predominant theories that tie environmental attitudes to the multidimensional construct of environmental concern. This paper demonstrates that using a clustering method such as latent class analysis can be a valuable tool for studying environmental attitudes as they exist within a given population. In making the case for the value of latent class…
The English Premier League
This chapter looks at the changing face of the football celebrity in the English Premier League (EPL). There had long been famous footballers, of course, but the rapid increase in the commercialisation and commodification of English football following the inception of the League created new opportunities and opened the game up to wider markets. Some players became part of an expanding ‘celebrity’ culture as football became fashionable and more cl…

Canadian harm reduction policies
Fado and the Place of Longing
Fado, often described as 'urban folk music', emerged from the streets of Lisbon in the mid-nineteenth century and went on to become Portugal's 'national' music during the twentieth. It is known for its strong emphasis on loss, memory and nostalgia within its song texts, which often refer to absent people and places. One of the main lyrical themes of fado is the city itself. Fado music has played a significant role in the interlacing of mythology,…
HIV Positive People’s Perspectives on Canadian Criminal Law and Non-Disclosure
The largest survey to date of people living with HIV regarding attitudes toward criminalization of HIV non-disclosure, this study investigates: sources of legal information available to HIV-positive people; perceptions of how criminal prosecutions and media coverage affect understanding of rights and responsibilities of self and others; and where HIV-positive people themselves stand on the role the criminal justice system should play. While mains…
Football's Irish exodus
The intention of this paper is to examine the range of interdependent processes that influence the decisions of Irish footballers to migrate from teams based in the League of Ireland to English Premier League and Football League clubs. Using data derived from a series of qualitative interviews conducted with a group of Irish players that had relocated to English clubs at different points over a 20-year period, the analysis reveals that the player…
Football and Migration
Book abstract: The book examines shifting migration patterns over time and across space, and analyses the sociological dynamics that drive and influence those patterns. It presents in-depth case studies of migration in elite men’s football, exploring the role of established leagues in Europe and South America as well as important emerging leagues on football's frontier in North America and Asia. The final section of the book analyses the movement…
HIV disclosure as practice and public policy
Responses to the largest surveys of HIV-positive people in Ontario show that most either disclose to or do not have partners who are HIV-negative or of unknown status. Non-disclosure strategies and assumptions are reported by relatively small sets of people with some variation according to employment status, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, and having had a casual partner. Interviews with 122 people living with HIV show that disclosure is a…
Impacts of Criminalization on the Everyday Lives of People Living with HIV in Canada
Brits abroad
The intention of this paper is to analyse the migrations of three British professional footballers who migrated to a club in Hungary’s top division – the Soproni Liga, during the 2009/2010 season. Based upon a series of interviews conducted with the migrants, all of whom had relocated from teams located in the English and Scottish Premier Leagues, the paper traces the players’ migrations from their initial recruitments and motivations, through th…
Poles apart
The 14th running of the UEFA European Championships represented a watershed moment for football, and sport more broadly, in Eastern Europe. Whilst the competition itself might have been restricted to Europe’s elite national teams, world football’s gaze was drawn towards the joint hosts, Poland and the Ukraine, for the duration of the tournament. At this juncture, therefore, this paper seeks to consider the ‘place’ of football in Eastern Europe, a…
New Europe, new chances? The migration of professional footballers to Poland’s Ekstraklasa
The intention of this paper is to offer a preliminary analysis of the migrations of professional footballers to Poland’s top division – the Ekstraklasa. Based upon a series of interviews conducted with migrant players located at an Ekstraklasa club, the paper focuses specifically on the factors that influence the players’ decisions to migrate to that particular league. The paper identifies that whilst the Ekstraklasa might sit outside of Europe’s…

Consumption and the Symbolic Project of the Self
The Marketplace Management of Illicit Pleasure
Through pleasure, a foundational concept in consumer behavior, we offer an analysis of the history, development, and experience of clubbing, the postcursor of rave and the contextual focus of this article. On the basis of a 5-year study primarily involving participant observation and interviewing, we present an analysis of how the clubbing experience is cocreated by promoters, DJs, and clubbers themselves. We develop and demonstrate a biosocial c…
The Social Uses of Advertising
Advertising research has focused exclusively on the solitary subject at the expense of understanding the role that advertising plays within the social contexts of group interaction. We develop a number of explanations for this omission before describing the results of an ethnographic study of advertising's contribution to the everyday interactions of adolescent informants at a number of English high schools. The study reveals a series of new, soc…
Working Weeks, Rave Weekends
Popular music is one of the most ubiquitous forms of contemporary culture. This paper looks at the phenomenon known as rave or dance culture in Britain. It examines the nature of the consumer experience at a dance club through the use of a two stage methodology. Based on observations and the collection of phenomenological data, the findings suggest that the experience is linked to a series of behaviours, which are related to fragmentation and ide…
Thinking Outside of the Box
The global migrations of athletic workers have increased dramatically in magnitude, composition, and direction in recent years. Studies examining these migrations have, however, remained limited to specific areas and have restricted their vision to those workers employed in the athletic sector. Few studies have drawn on concepts derived from research tracing the migrations of workers in other areas: the highly skilled for example. This paper show…
When theories become tools
In this article we discuss the characteristics of knowledge that lead to practical utility. We first review previous efforts at identifying the characteristics of useful knowledge. These contributions are grouped into three perspectives according to which representational mode they imply: propositional, narrative, or visual. We develop a framework for pragmatic validity that encompasses knowledge represented in all three modes. However, we also n…
Negotiating Masculinities
This paper seeks to underline the negotiated character of male identities by demonstrating the means by which lifestyle magazine advertising has caused men to gaze upon images of their own bodies and by outlining the implications of this inversion of the male gaze. The paper begins by delineating the unfinished nature of our bodies and their role in identity projects. It then charts the emergence of men's lifestyle magazines in the UK and their p…
Effects of the Criminalization of HIV Transmission in Cuerrier on Men Reporting Unprotected Sex with Men
Cet article dresse un portrait des perceptions et des pratiques des hommes qui ont des rapports sexuels fréquents et non protégés avec d'autres hommes dans un climat sociolégal défini par la décision, en 1998, de la Cour suprême du Canada dans l'affaire R. c. Cuerrier . Depuis cette décision, les personnes séropositives se retrouvent de plus en plus souvent en cour et plusieurs d'entres elles essaient d'incorporer des raisonnements légaux dans le…

Foreign players in the English Premier Academy League
The aim of this article is to make sense of the effects of foreign player involvement in English football's elite youth academy system. Based upon a series of interviews conducted with academy directors, managers, and coaches at Premier League clubs, and senior figures in the Premier League's Youth Development department, the article argues that the involvement of foreign players should not be viewed negatively where indigenous players are increa…

Getting Caught in the Net
This article is a study of global athletic labor migration that examines the mechanisms through which some athletic migrant workers are recruited. The article adopts a critical case study which analyses the movement of Canadian workers into Britain's Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) and synthesizes concepts derived from the sociology of sport and the sociology of highly skilled migration to explain these movements. Using a theoretical framework bas…

Ten reasons to oppose the criminalization of HIV exposure or transmission
Recent years have seen a push to apply criminal law to HIV exposure and transmission, often driven by the wish to respond to concerns about the ongoing rapid spread of HIV in many countries. Particularly in Africa, some groups have begun to advocate for criminalization in response to the serious phenomenon of women being infected with HIV through sexual violence or by partners who do not reveal their HIV diagnoses to them. While these issues must…

Harm Reduction, HIV/Aids, and the Human Rights Challenge to Global Drug Control Policy
The global HIV/AIDS pandemic, and the role of unsafe drug injection as one of its principal drivers, have added to the list of harms associated with unsafe drug use. HIV/AIDS has highlighted ways in which prohibitionist drug policy causes or contributes to such harms and focused attention on the international regime of illicit drug control. At the same time, HIV/AIDS has catalyzed the "health and human rights movement" to articulate legal and pol…

The Same Distant Places
This article explores the emphasis in Bob Dylan's work on memory, place, and displacement. It rehearses some key issues raised by recent theorists who have been interested in the connections between these themes before proceeding to discuss tropes of displacement in Dylan's work. Topics covered include the importance of the city and its projection of the rural, the theme of moving on and its association with accumulated experience, and the abilit…

Brands as symbolic resources for the construction of identity
The search for self-identity is a key determinant of postmodern consumption so it is essential for marketers to understand the concept and dynamics of self, the symbolic meaning of goods and the role played by brands. Building from the concept of advertising literacy, this paper outlines a model of the dialectical relationship between self-identity and social-identity, the domains of self-symbolism and social-symbolism, and the process of the med…
