Cultural diversity and inclusion in Italian media: Between (in)visibility and self-representation
Over the past 30 years, several European institutions have called for ethnic and cultural diversity to be reflected in the work of news media, either in the content they produce or in the composition of newsrooms. Italy as a country and as a media system has so far shown limited interest in the issue. However, the children of the protagonists of the major waves of immigration of the late 1980s and early 1990s are claiming a public voice. Over the…
Whose nation? The racialization of sporting heroes and the emergence of new cosmopolitan imaginaries
The global popularity of sporting spectacles makes them fertile terrain for representing the idea of the nation. Black and ethnic minority players with multiple nationalities are often questioned in Western political and media discourse about their belonging to the ‘nation’. However, these athletes increasingly embrace their multiple belongings, foregrounding cosmopolitan imaginaries that unsettle nationalistic discourses. Their message is amplif…
The discourse that makes racism disappear: Italian football and the (re)construction of the Maignan case
Contrasting media representations of race and national identity: The case of England and Italy at the Union of European Football Associations Euro 2020
The continuous growth of international sport events as media spectacles has magnified their ability to project ideas of nationhood. In media coverage, the athletes/players are portrayed as the embodiment of the ‘nation’, but this process is far from linear. Historically, mass media have constructed highly gendered and restricted ideas of the nation, placing women and ethnic minorities at the margins or erasing them altogether. The analysis of the…
Less Partisan and Less Aggressive? The Impact of Covid-19 on the Media Discourse of “El Clásico” on Spanish Radio
The football rivalry between Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona is one of the most popular at club level globally. In Spain, where it is known as El Clásico (the Classic), it has an unrivalled status in the sports media industry. Its significance relies in part to the historical tension between Catalonia, the region of which Barcelona is the main centre, and Madrid, the capital of Spain. The exaltation of confrontation and partisanship is the centra…
Media discourse, sport and the nation: Narratives and counter-narratives in the digital age
Throughout the 20th century, the growth of international sport events as media spectacles has provided one of the most powerful tools for the projection of national identities. Traditional media, such as newspapers and private and public broadcasters, have been instrumental in this process. Media discourses around sporting events have historically tended to legitimise exclusionary versions of the idea of the nation, reproducing hegemonic gender d…
The Man With the Leaking Bucket: Ethnography, Journalism, and the Quest for the Transformative Self
This article looks into the status and identity of ethnography by paying attention to the ideas of transformation and becoming, and to the meanings of 'reality' in post postmodern times. Based on a personal reflection about the intellectual journey of the author, and his transition from journalism to academic research, it first provides an illustration of the complicated relationship between journalism, and journalistic practices, with social res…
Youth Sport, Migration and Culture: Two Football Teams and the Changing Face of Ireland
How do migrant youth negotiate their role in society through sport and leisure practices? How can political theory and qualitative critical research work together to make sense of these processes? These are among the questions that led to a long-term investigation of young males’ sport practices in Ireland, possibly the most fertile contemporary setting for the analysis of questions of sport and identity. Youth Sport, Migration and Culture emphas…
Acid diterpenes from Copaiba oleoresin (Copaifera langsdorffii): Chemical and plasma stability and intestinal permeability using Caco-2 cells
Football fandom in Italy and beyond
Football is in a precarious situation in Italy compared to other leading countries. The Serie A, considered until the 1990s the most attractive football league in the world, lags behind other natio
Transcultural football. Trajectories of belonging among immigrant youth
Football can play different roles in the lives of immigrant youth. It can be a site for leisure, sport performance and socialization. Even more critically, it can be a place where to negotiate sense of belonging to a local community and to gain access to national sporting cultures. Football can also represent forms of exclusion and discrimination. This article aims to elucidate the meanings that participation in football hold for black immigrant …
A team like no ‘Other’: The racialized position of Insaka FC in Irish schoolboy football
Sporting grounds have started to be recognized as fertile sites for the (re)definition of subjective and collective identities of youth of immigrant background. As a country of recent immigration and a rich sporting culture, Ireland is witnessing new forms of sport participation that critically challenge the status quo. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork with an under-18 football team composed of teenagers of various immigrant background…
