  • A Player's Perspective on the Need for Reform to Enhance Transparency and Integrity in Sports
    This content is drawn from Transparency International’s forthcoming Global Corruption Report: Sport. For more information on our Corruption in Sport Initiative, visit: www.transparency.org/sportintegrity 6.6 A player’s perspective on the need for reform to enhance transparency and integrity in sports Louis Saha1 As demonstrated by the arrests of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) executives in late May 2015 and the subsequent resignation of FIFA’s president, Sepp Blatter, a lack of transparency can mean nasty surprises with all sorts of skeletons coming out of the closet. This can potentially involve offshore dealings, bribery, electoral fraud and agents and managers taking cuts from transfers. All too commonly, however, it is not until a major incident happens that people start talking about transparency and why the sports industry urgently needs to address the lack thereof. The scope of the problem of corruption in sports The scandal over the awarding of the 2022 men’s World Cup to Qatar and FIFA’s refusal to publish the full report prepared by Michael Garcia,2 who was commissioned to look into the bidding and awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, raised even more concerns that corruption was taking place within the organisation, yet the most severe allegations of corruption died off fairly quickly in the minds of many in the global football community. Unethical agents and intermediaries are also a concern when discussing corruption and sport. These powerful individuals often benefit from payoffs that come about as a result of doing business in a ‘hidden’ and complex environment.

  • Il Nuovo Yakuza Eiga: Sviluppo E Caratteristiche Del Genere E Dei Suoi Eroi
    Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Lingue, economie e istituzioni dell’Asia e dell’Africa mediterranea Tesi di Laurea Il Nuovo yakuza eiga: sviluppo e caratteristiche del genere e dei suoi eroi Relatore Ch.ma Prof.ssa Maria Roberta Novielli Correlatore Ch.ma Prof.ssa Paola Scrolavezza Laureanda Elvira Nezi Matricola 840783 Anno Accademico 2016 / 2017 要旨 日本と同じように、イタリアでもマフィアは政治的・経済的に非常に権力のある組織であ る。マフィアが普及するにつれて、そしてお金と勢力を力ずくで手に入れていくにつれて、ますま す市民の平穏な人生と命は脅されるようになった。自分の利益のことを考え、マフィアに属し ている人達が弱い市民からお金をだまし取り、殺すと脅迫し、実際に命を奪う場合も多い。 そのため、イタリア映画に描かれているマフィアのイメージは今も昔も当然良いイメージではな い。 一方、かなり長い間にわたって日本では事実と違うヤクザのイメージが映画を通して伝え られたのは明白である。日本の暴力団はイタリアのマフィアとそれほど異なるわけではないが、 それでも１９２５年ごろから１９７０年代にわたって、ヤクザの極道者が親切で誠実な人 たちとして描かれていた。面白くて興味深いことはヤクザの構成員さえヤクザ映画の展開に 貢献したことである。ヤクザ映画を見たり、作ったりするだけではなく、ヤクザ映画で演じたこと もあるのである。例えば元ヤクザ俊藤浩滋は東映の有名なプロデューサーであった。彼がヤク ザ映画のスターになった安藤昇、高倉健、鶴田浩二をスカウトしたそうである。ちなみに安藤 昇も元ヤクザであった。 では、どうして本当のヤクザはそんな風に振舞うわけではないのに、映画には勇ましいロビ ンフッドとして描かれていたのだろう。どうして極道者であるのに観客の心を奪うことができたの だろう。映画館の観客者の大半は男性であったが、ヤクザ映画のヒーローはその男性にどんな 理想的な男性像を伝えたのだろう。ヤクザ映画は日本社会に関して何を教えているのだろう。 この卒業論文の目的は加藤泰、石井輝男、鈴木清順、深作欣二、北野武の映画を 論じながら、以上の質問の答えを出すことである。そして、ヤクザ映画の主なサブジャンルとそ れぞれのヒーローの誕生と展開を詳しく検討することである。 一般的にヤクザ映画は仁侠映画と実録映画という二つの主なサブジャンルに大きく分 けられている。この論文の核心である上述の監督がそれぞれのサブジャンルの展開に自分な りに貢献し、戦後に誕生した「新しいヤクザ映画」と言われるジャンルを有名にした。 実はもう一つのサブジャンルがあり、股旅映画と呼ばれている。股旅映画は戦前に誕生 したので、ヤクザ映画とは少し異なると言われる。しかし、ヤクザ映画を一層良く理解するた めにまず伊藤大輔や野村芳亭などという映画監督の股旅映画に関して一言述べる必要が あると思う。 旅映画は１９２０年代に誕生した剣劇、いわゆるチャンバラ（剣の音を表す言葉） のサブジャンルである（剣劇は有名な時代劇のサブジャンルである）。股旅映画は時代劇 と違い、主人公が侍ではなく、股旅物と呼ばれているヤクザヒーローであった。この渡世人が 一人で放浪し、あちこち行き先のない旅行をしていた。知らない親分に宿泊を請い、様々な

  • Can FIFA's Corruption Be Stopped?
    Can FIFA’s Corruption Be Stopped? The world’s governing body of soccer is reeling from a scandal involving the next two World Cups in Russia and Qatar. But making it accountable will take more than an investigation. BY ROGER PIELKE JR. ans of American football have weathered a season of scandal, with claims of F willfully disregarding knowledge of concussion damage and a culture of domestic abuse battering the National Football League's top officials. But nothing comes close to the hailstorm that surrounds the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the Swiss-based non-profit that oversees international soccer, including the quadrennial World Cup finals. Since 2010, the organization has found itself buried in an avalanche of allegations of corruption, notably surrounding how it awarded the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. On Wednesday, Nov. 12, FIFA released summary results of its internal investigation into the various allegations, and to the surprise of no one, found the 2018 and 2022 World Cup decisions to be "well-thought, robust, and professional." Despite uncovering a litany of dodgy episodes and running into investigatory obstacles, such as destroyed computers from the Russian delegation, FIFA concluded that "the various incidents which might have occurred are not suited to compromise the integrity of the FIFA World Cup 2018/2022 bidding process as a whole." In other words, this is basically par for the course. In many ways it is: Since October 2010, when the Sunday Times successfully pulled off a sting of FIFA Executive Committee members accepting bribes in exchange for their votes in the World Cup bidding process, it has been fairly obvious to even casual observers that something was very wrong inside international soccer's governing body.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • (2016) 33 Windsor Y B Access Just 199 GLOBAL GOVERNANCE IN
    GLOBAL GOVERNANCE IN ALL ITS DISCRETE FORMS: THE GAME, FIFA, AND THE THIRD WORLD Basil Ugochukwu* This paper uses the governance praxis of the Federation of International Football1 Associations [FIFA] to illustrate the impact of several intensive, discrete, and rarely- studied global governance actors whose internal processes and procedures mirror the core concerns of Third World Approaches to International Law [TWAIL] scholars regarding the legitimation of a hegemonic category and the marginalization of Third World and subaltern interests. It is argued that FIFA has become an important international organization and global governance actor whose transnational rule-making characteristics should be studied in light of the incipient migration from “international 2 law” to “global governance”. 2016 CanLIIDocs 195 It will be shown that not only are FIFA’s rules impinging on sovereign imagination but that the tendencies of inequality, unfairness and domination afflicting the practices of traditional or state-centric international organizations are as prevalent in the procedures of such less-studied global governance actors regardless that their rule-making activities exert significant impact on governments, especially those in Africa and other parts of the Third World. More significantly, the essay looks at possible domestic political and socio- legal implications of discrete globalization of the kind exemplified by FIFA on Africa and the Third World and how important it is to integrate this concern into TWAIL scholarship going forward. Dans cet article, l’auteur cite les activités de gouvernance de la Fédération Internationale de Football Association [FIFA] pour illustrer l’impact de plusieurs acteurs de la gouvernance mondiale très actifs, discrets et faisant rarement l’objet * Post-Doctoral Fellow (International Law), Centre for International Governance Innovation, Waterloo, Canada.

    : IKONEN : Artikel Grob Yakuza http://www.ikonen-magazin.de/artikel/Yakuza.htm CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Dieser Text erschien zuerst als Nachwort der deutschen Übersetzung des Romans von Leonard Schrader: Yakuza, Bergisch-Gladbach 1987. Norbert Grob Zwischen giri und ninjo Der Yakuza-Mythos in Paul und Leonardo Schraders Roman und Film THE YAKUZA Robert Mitchum in YAKUZA Für Leonard Schrader war es ein langer Weg bis zu seinem ersten Roman The Yakuza, der in zwei Stufen entstand. Zunächst hatte er bloß eine Story: die Idee zu einer Geschichte, in der ein cleverer, aber tapsiger Amerikaner nach Japan kommt, wo er 20 Jahre zuvor schon einmal war, und dort zwischen alle Regeln und Riten fällt. Ihren besonderen Charakter sollte die Geschichte durch die mythische Dimension erhalten, die Schrader im yakuza-eiga, dem Genre des japanischen Gangsterfilms, vorgefunden hatte. Er schickte die Story seinem Bruder Paul, der damals als Drehbuchautor noch unbekannt und ziemlich erfolglos war. Der entwickelte sie zu einem fertigen Drehbuch und ließ es über seinen Agenten verschiedenen major companies anbieten. Nach längeren Verhandlungen kaufte schließlich Warner Bros. das Buch. Bevor die Gesellschaft dann Sydney Pollack als Regisseur verpflichtete, setzte sie erst einmal einen ihrer Starautoren, den trouble shooter für unzulängliche Bücher Robert Towne, an die Arbeit. Zusammen mit Paul Schrader schrieb er die letzte, die endgültige Fassung. Der Film, 1974 gedreht und im März 1975 uraufgeführt, war am Ende also das Ergebnis einer vielköpfigen Zusammenarbeit: Leonard Schrader hatte die Idee. Paul Schrader verfaßte das erste Script, und Robert Towne gab dem Buch den letzten Schliff.
