Football tourist trips: A new analytic for tourism studies
The impact of an Emergency Medical Technician basic course prior to medical school on medical students
This study concludes that EMT programs have both immediate and lasting effects that seem to assist students with making sense of and navigating other learning opportunities. Specifically, EMT courses offered to students prior to their entry into medical school may help orient them to team-based health care and triaging patient care
Football in Turkey
For a country of Turkey’s size and global importance, it is puzzling that there remains very few book-length works in English on its obsession with football. The last 20 years have seen an explosio
Modern Enchantments: Media, Fandom and Distraction Amongst Diaspora Turkish Football Supporters
Since the turn of the century, Turkish diaspora football fans have increasingly relied on social media practices to enact their fandom. Ethnographic fieldwork with Turkish football supporters based in Europe reveals that socially mediated fandom produces powerful affective states, best understood through a reworking of the anthropological heuristic of 'enchantment'. Modern enchantments see fans embrace a sense of wonder whilst also showing self-a…
Driven to Distraction: Turkish Diaspora Football Supporters, New Media and the Politics of Place-Making
This article explores how new media forms linked to the internet are feeding into the generation of community. It looks specifically at the place-making practices of a transnational group of football fans, European supporters of the Turkish club team Beşiktaş.I trace the mediations of two common football fan practices: the singing of chants and the display of banners. Adopting a multi-sited ethnographic approach, I track their circulation. While …

Been There, Done That, Bought the T-Shirt: Beşiktaş Fans and the Commodification of Football in Turkey
In this article, I explore how the rapid commercialism and commodification of Turkish premier league football has affected the activities of a particular fan group, Çarşı, for the club Beşiktaş, one of Turkey's oldest teams. I look at how elements of the commodification of football have been harnessed and mediated by Çarşı to make ethical and political statements and convey an anarcho-socialist message. These processes, I argue, are driven by the…

Functional truth or sexist distortion: Assessing a feminist critique of intimate violence reporting
Journalism assumes reporters are able to pursue ‘functional truth’ - an account of issues and events reliably describing social reality. But researchers have often found systematic bias. In reporting about cross-gender violence, critical feminist scholars contend that news media devalue violence against women and often blame the victim while mitigating or blurring the perpetrator’s responsibility. The present study is the first in the USA to test…
Ballast and the Tay Eider Duck Populations
Deposits of coarse gravels which line the southern margin of the Tay Estuary entrance channel east of Tayport support a thriving population of mussels. Large numbers of Eider ducks, dependent on mussels for food, overwinter in this part of the estuary. The mussels depend on the gravels to provide a firm base on which to grow. The accidental grounding of an oil tanker on the gravel beds led to analysis of the component pebbles, demonstrating that …
Prosocial self-schemas, self-awareness, and children's prosocial behavior
Three studies examined the hypothesis that a child's prosocial self-schema predicts prosocial behavior. In Study 1, only self-aware boys showed a self-schema-behavior relation. Study 2 altered both salience of donating opportunity and relationship of recipient to donor. The hypothesized Self-Awareness x Self-Schema interaction was significant, and there were no gender differences. Study 3 systematically manipulated the salience of the donating op…
Who's responsible for journalism
Contemporary national codes of ethics hinge more on fantasy than fact: the idea that journalists control what becomes news. While journalists' influence over news has grown during much of the 20th century to the point where courts have begun to define them as professionals, it has never surpassed the influence of owners. New evidence indicates authority has eroded as media firms seek to maximize return to investors. As journalists' autonomy reced…
A Market-Based Model of News Production
This article proposes the first model to show how markets—not just for consumers, but also for advertisers, investors and sources—shape commercial news production. By applying to news what we know of how markets work with other commodities, the model clarifies the logic of news selection in an era of increasing economic rationalism in print and broadcast journalism. Most importantly, the article also explores how news fails to meet the minimum co…
The Relevance of William James' Radical Empiricism to the Anthropology of Consciousness
William James is usually associated with the philosophy of pragmatism and with his interest in religious experiences. But James also developed a methodology which has received far less attention. James called this methodology "radical empiricism," an approach that requires that (1) all of the ideas and theories in science be grounded in direct experience, and (2) no experience be excluded from scientific purview. This paper describes James' thoug…

Sidescan sonar applications in limnoarchaeology
Sidescan sonar, a well known marine geophysical exploration technique, widely utilized in maritime archaeology, has great potential as a reconnaissance tool in limnoarchaeological surveys. Its application in the identification of manmade structures on the floor of a flooded valley (Glenfarg Reservoir, Scotland) and the location of nearshore settlements (crannogs) in a natural water body (Loch Tay, Scotland) are described and discussed. It is sugg…
