‘She called me a name that I didn't like’
In parole hearings, prison inmates are questioned to ascertain whether they can be considered rehabilitated and return to the community or whether they still pose a danger and should remain incarcerated. As such, parole hearings are complex discursive events in which the prisoner must negotiate their identity in conversation with parole officers. The data for this study comprises 17 transcripts of the parole hearings of Winston Moseley, one of th…

Introduction
Across Latin America, sport represents an important cultural and political response to facilitating social transformation and addressing social challenges, and this is especially evident today in Brazil. Brazil is also one of many nations to have emphasised a positive relationship between sport and progressive social and economic development (Reis et al., 2016). This relationship is best seen in its development and modernisation strategy where bi…
A Case Study of a Sport-for-Development Programme in Brazil
This article examines the 'Sport Works' narrative of sport-for-development practitioners of an inter-organisational sport-for-development (SfD) programme utilising rugby to foster positive social transformation in Brazil. In doing so, we address an under-representation of practitioners who are often seen as subjugated voices in SfD programmes. The paper also addresses an under-representation of Brazil as a research site in SfD literature. Followi…
Talking about terrorism
This article examines a neglected dimension of the dominant discourse of terrorism, namely, the vernacular, ‘everyday narratives’ of lay members of the public. While there are many studies of elite- and public-level discourses of terrorism, large numbers of public opinion and attitude studies, and a growing number of focus group studies on vernacular understandings of security and citizenship, there are few studies which specifically focus on lay…
Access Online
This article examines the restrictions on internet access in Cuba and asks to what extent the lack of access to the World Wide Web has helped to maintain (with some evident changes), the socialist status quo on the island. The article will also examine how the internet is used to represent the nation externally and ultimately argues that the Cuban government is negotiating a fine line between taking full economic advantage of what the internet ca…
Conceptualising commitment
Sports fans derive much of their self-concept from their group membership and committing to a specific team is an essential component of fandom. Few studies, however, examine how sports fans commit to their team, or what commitment means for them. An exploratory qualitative study was, therefore, conducted to investigate sports fans’ understanding of commitment. Using focus groups, Welsh rugby fans from three regions in Wales discussed their commi…
