    COVID-19 Global Report June 10th 2020 Overview of COVID-19 conversation As the pandemic reached global proportions in the last weeks, we saw a spike in conversations on every channel. This trend has now stabilized, and we have even noticed a drop in overall mentions of COVID-19 over the last 7 seven days. Are people over Coronavirus news? 10/06/20 2 What are the themes of COVID-19 conversation? 10/06/20 3 What are the themes of COVID-19 conversation? Consumer Insights: What are people talking about with summer vacations? It has already become abundantly clear that this summer will be very different than other summers as we transition into the “new normal.” One way that we are able to gauge how this conversation will differ is by understanding how people will be spending their summer vacation. Summer vacation is perceived differently depending on the audience and region of the world. For some it is when school is out, and students and younger children have time to engage in different activities. For others, it is the ability to go on trips and enjoy oneself outside of the normal walks of love. By analyzing summer vacation, we can get an understanding of how consumers anticipate spending their “summer vacation” during the COVID-19 pandemic. By looking at the below Conversation Clusters, we see that people are still making and planning, and going on trips. At the same time, it seems as if people are very careful and selective in the types of trips that they are discussing.

This rigid and complex system of morals had evolved to ensure that strict militaristic discipline was maintained at all times to defend the country against the many invaders who coveted Circassian lands. In addition, social niceties and graces greased the wheels of social interaction, and a person’s good conduct ensured his survival and prosperity. The Xabze served as the law for ad hoc courts and councils set up to resolve contentious cases and other moot issues, and pronounce binding judgements.

  • Renewed Circassian Mobilization in the North Caucasus 20-Years After the Fall of the Soviet Union
    Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Vol 11, No 2, 2012, 103-135 Copyright © ECMI 21 December 2012 This article is located at: http://www.ecmi.de/publications/detail/issue-22012-vol-11-254/ Renewed Circassian Mobilization in the North Caucasus 20-years after the Fall of the Soviet Union Lars Funch Hansen* University of Copenhagen The renewed ethnic mobilization among Circassians in the North Caucasus region in Russia that has unfolded since the latter half of the 2000s is illustrated by the establishment of new civil society organizations and a substantially increased number of internet-based initiatives. All of this reflects a new and increased form of agency and unity among the Circassians in which youth activism has played key role. It also illustrates how Circassian civil society actors and cyber-activists have not only been able to establish a counter-public sphere or develop a new space for action, but also increasingly have been able to move key issues from Circassian spheres into the wider public sphere of mainstream Russian media and politics. The upcoming 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, in particular, has functioned as a lever in this process, which has also resulted in increasing support among Circassians for calls for recognition of the nineteenth century forced expulsion of the majority of the Circassians from the Caucasus as an act of genocide. In this manner, a mega-event such as the Sochi Olympics has contributed to generating a more radical or politicized understanding or framing of the Caucasian exodus that, since the fall of the Soviet Union, has generally been known as “our national tragedy”.

SPORTS The Unrelenting Visibility of Wayward Bodies The world of sport has provided the setting for the carnivalesque occupation of streets by the masses on a number of occasions in recent Iranian history. Most notably, following the decisive victories of the Iranian national football team in international tournaments, the streets of major Iranian cities were taken over in celebration by a jubilant crowd, whose genuine emotions and support for their national team proved to be far too strong to be contained in the privacy of their homes, in front of their television screens.
