Regulating Ambush Marketing in an Increasingly Social Era
The practice of ambush marketing continues to proliferate around mega sport events, notably during the Olympics. The ongoing commercial threat to official sponsors and event organizers threatens the sponsorship model on which the events rely. The current situation is further complicated by increased social media activity and engagement by competing athletes to engage not only with their followers on social media but also with endorser brands who …

I say it’s spinach, and I say the hell with it
Single-panel gag cartoons are behavioral records of the comic in society, or of how people manage what they find anxiety producing, annoying, or dismaying in their everyday affairs by transforming these experiences into humor, which is then used as a vehicle to manage difficult feelings and imagine new ways of conceptualizing their situation. Cartoons, thus, are products of the jokes and comic wit that are endemic in everyday life. Because most h…

Methods, Visual
Concern with visible evidence has been a part of sociology since the beginning, with mostly still photographs, maps, and charts being deployed for various illustrative and emotive purposes. Rarely, however, did authors concern themselves with what made these images useful as data. Thus, while many social scientists acknowledged that visuals could make an argument clearer and more memorable, few considered how they might make an argument sounder. …

Growing the football game
In trying to grow the customer base of the football game, recent studies have argued that relevant key actors in the European football industry such as football governing bodies and professional clubs must attend to the needs of all their supporters as well as consider the economic and social relevance of older supporters and those with disabilities, described as the ‘new’ generation of sport customers. Through analysis of major trends in legisla…

The Scope of Visual Sociology
Currently, visual sociology is defined as a sub‐field of qualitative sociology. This paper argues that such a view is too narrow and that the field is actually composed of three distinct, yet logically related, areas of investigation. The first is Seeing, or the study of role of sight and vision in the construction of social organization and meaning. The second is Iconic Communication, or the study of how spontaneous and deliberate construction o…

The Manufacture and Consumption of Child Abuse as a Social Issue
We all know that child abuse exists and is terrible. We've all heard at least one story we'll never forget. Let me tell you mine. A brief note in the newspaper reported a little boy scalded to death by his father, who sat him in the bathtub and poured boiling water over him. The little boy, it was reported, kept saying, until he died, “Daddy, I love you!” I remember weeping when I read it. Most people would. If you're a father, as I am, the emoti…

Advertising images as social indicators
One of the most important prerequisites for building a more visual social science is demonstrating that visual data provide answers to research questions, which are not addressed satisfactorily by the use of more conventional, non‐visual, methods. In this article the author argues that a systematic analysis of the images in print advertisements not only accounts for patterns in contemporary American race relations as reliably as findings derived …
