Outsiders, underdogs and bohemians in sport
Framing the idealistic Bohemian and the rational outsider
Bohemians and outsiders have long fascinated the media and the general public because they challenge conventional lifestyles and societal norms. This fascination extends to sport, where narratives about such figures appear in both historical and contemporary media. By analysing the media's framing of cross-country skier Lars Theodor Jonsson (1903-1998) and speed skater Nils van der Poel (1996-), this essay identifies two distinct ideal types: the…
Sport successes, ‘against all odds
Initially, as a scholastic horizon, the article reflects on general thesis/studies linked to sport participation and selection processes as well as in relation to talent identification and talent development. Yet, the basic departure - and the main subject - in the work is those elite athletes who, for some reason, ought to have been sorted out - due to various obstructions - but who have not been disregarded or ruled out in the general selection…
Football vs. ice hockey in the European sport landscape
Football stand as the leading sport in most European countries in terms of revenue, market size, sponsorships, media attention and spectator numbers.However, in several European countries, ice hockey holds a similar position and, in some cases, even locally challenges football's dominance, at least periodically.For example, in a Swedish context, ice hockey was the dominant sport in Stockholm from around 1970 until the late 1990s but has since bee…

Juridification of fandom
The essay address different forms of ‘extensive joyfulness’ among football spectators, and the Swedish legal responses to these actions, due to the actions’ classification as pitch invasion and trespassing, in legal terms. The essay presents the legal context, by focusing on external regulation of public order and surveillance as well as internal by-laws dealing with spectator security. By using two cases, from the district court, the essay refle…
STIHL Timbersports® and the Reconceptualization of Modern Sport in the Light of Decontextualization and Eventification of Forestry Work
This article examines STIHL Timbersports® and its amalgamation of craftmanship, competition, eventification and branding, through the lens of decontextualization of sport. It thus revisits and revitalizes the concept of sportification, as well as discusses the characteristics of sport such as authenticity and “uncertainty of outcome”. The aim of the article is to grasp the different processes that challenge our common positions regarding sport, w…
Entrepreneurial experimentation
The literature on innovation systems focuses on the supply side (the creation of technology) rather than on how innovations are converted into economic activity and growth via the market (the demand side, and the interface between supply and demand). One implication of this is that there is a dearth of research on the links between innovation systems and economic growth. The purpose of this paper is to begin to fill this gap in the literature. We…

The evolving domain of entrepreneurship research
Research on entrepreneurship has flourished in recent years and is evolving rapidly. This article explores the history of entrepreneurship research, how the research domain has evolved, and its current status as an academic field. The need to concretize these issues stems partly from a general interest in defining the current research domain and partly from the more specific tasks confronting the prize committee of the Global Award for Entreprene…

A diagnosis of the commercial immaturity of Swedish club football 1
This article presents a critical diagnosis of Swedish club football, in light of its current shortcomings on the European football market, and in comparison with the other Scandinavian leagues. The article highlights the commercial immaturity of the Swedish clubs, in addition to the context of historical and cultural values, restricted association forms, the emphasis on internationalism, the fixed tax system, the standards of the arenas, the lack…
The missing link
The intellectual breakthrough contributed by the new growth theory was the recognition that investments in knowledge and human capital endogenously generate economic growth through the spillover of knowledge. However, endogenous growth theory does not explain how or why spillovers occur. This paper presents a model that shows how growth depends on knowledge accumulation and its diffusion through both incumbents and entrepreneurial activities. We …
The knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship
Contemporary theories of entrepreneurship generally focus on the recognition of opportunities and the decision to exploit them. Although the entrepreneurship literature treats opportunities as exogenous, the prevailing theory of economic growth suggests they are endogenous. This paper advances the microeconomic foundations of endogenous growth theory by developing a knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship. Knowledge created endogenously re…

Insolvency and the domestic juridification of football in Sweden
We can observe an ongoing external, as well as an internal, juridification of football, which means that the legal system and a legal rationality has become to an increasingly degree mixed up with football. Whether applying an internal or an external perspective the juridification process and the regulation can be understood as an outcome of the increasing commercialization and professionalization of football. In the wake of the commercialization…

Dealing with Insolvency and Indebted Individuals in Respect to Law and Morality
This article is focused on the social and moral problems of insolvency and indebtedness, presenting and analysing the legal structure of the Swedish Act (1994) of Reconstruction of Insolvency. The analysis is related to a revitalisation of Durkheim’s sociology on the forms of social solidarity and, thereby, to the search for moral bonds in our modern and rationalised society. Thus, the analysis will focus on the importance of the sacred symbolism…

It takes a departure from the themes of visual legal communication and discusses the relationship between text and pictures in the legal domain. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the consequences of the modern pictorial evolution. Bearing this discussion in mind, will the development of the ICT society (information and communication technology…

Obstacles That Prevent Legal Programmes From Functioning as a Learning Process
Communicative Rationality and Open-Ended Law in Sweden
One of the recent developments within the Swedish legal system has the hallmark of open-ended laws. A number of socio-legal studies have examined the rationality of this trend.' Within this legislative area of legislation, several large-scale empirical studies have been conducted.2 The research strategy in these studies was shaped by the need for empirical evidence concerning the problematic relationship between law, participation, and procedural…
Developments in the Swedish Early Retirement Scheme
The social insurance system has been an important element in the Swedish welfare model. However, in Sweden as in other Western countries there is an ongoing discussion about the rationality of the post-1940 welfare state. A social right or benefit constantly debated is the right to an early retirement pension. The value of such an early retirement pension has been questioned from economical as well as social or human points of view. The purpose o…
