The Olympic Games and Civil Liberties
Analysis A “clean city”: the Olympic Games and civil liberties Chris Jones Introduction In 2005, the UK won the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games. Seven years later, the Games are due to begin, but they are not without controversy. Sponsors of the Games – including McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Cadbury’s, BP and, perhaps most controversially, Dow Chemical [1] – were promised “what is chillingly called a ‘clean city’, handing them ownership of everything within camera distance of the games.” [2] In combination with measures put in place to deal with what have been described as the “four key risks” of terrorism, protest, organised crime and natural disasters, [3] these measures have led to a number of detrimental impacts upon civil liberties, dealt with here under the headings of freedom of expression; freedom of movement; freedom of assembly; and the right to protest. The Games will be hosted in locations across the country, but primarily in London, which is main the focus of this analysis. Laying the groundwork Following victory for the bid to host the Games, legislation – the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 – was passed “to make provision in connection with the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games that are take place in London in the year 2012.” [4] It is from here that limitations on freedom of expression have come, as well as some of the limitations on freedom of movement that stem from the introduction of “Games Lanes” to London’s road system. Policing and security remains the responsibility of the national and local authorities. -

So, I’m basically going to be talking about how much you don’t need things, and it’s the exact same thing that everyone else is doing, except I’m being extreme in the other way’. So states Kimberly Clark in her first ‘anti-haul’ video (2015), a YouTube vlog in which she lists beauty products that she is ‘not gonna buy’.i Since widely imitated by other beauty YouTube vloggers, the anti-haul vlog is a deliberate attempt to resist the celebration of beauty consumption in beauty ‘influencer’ social media culture. Anti- haul vloggers have much in common with other ethical or anti-consumer lifestyle experts (Meissner, 2019) and the growing ranks of online ‘environmental influencers’ (Heathman, 2019). These influencers play an important intermediary function, where complex ethical questions are broken down into manageable and rewarding tasks, projects or challenges (Haider, 2016: p.484; Joosse and Brydges, 2018: p.697). -
Some Thoughts on the Street Art Panorama: the Case of Madrid
Essays / Working papers Some thoughts on the street art panorama: the case of Madrid Natalia Gutiérrez-Colomer Associate Professor, Department of Journalism and Global Communication, Faculty of Media & Communication Science, University Complutense of Madrid. Address: Avda. Complutense, s/n. 28040 – MADRID. Email: [email protected] Violeta Izquierdo Full Professor, Department of Journalism and Global Communication, Faculty of Media & Communication Science, University Complutense of Madrid. Address: Avda. Complutense, s/n. 28040 – MADRID. Email: [email protected] Abstract During the last four decades, street art has been developed and multiplied in most of the biggest European and American cities. In the case of Spain, the roots of this artistic phenomenon appeared during the restoration of democracy, so it is specially linked to the urban society created according to the arrival of freedom. In Madrid in particular, an increasing number of urban interventions have appeared in some neighborhoods such as Malasaña, Tetuán or Lavapiés, which means that the street art is the artistic refection of the new urban reality. In recent years, some initiatives, such as Pinta Malasaña or Muros Tabacalera, have used this phenomenon as a way to improve the area and, as a consequence, a new artistic expression has been developed: the new urban muralism. The identifcation of the artists working in a certain city will give us the idea of where the city can be located in the global panorama of street art and, moreover, this local study will enrich the knowledge of the whole phenomenon. This essay focuses on giving an overview of the street art in Madrid with the idea of providing new insights to increase the knowledge of the current global society. -
Rejecting and Embracing Brands in Political Consumerism
Rejecting and Embracing Brands in Political Consumerism Rejecting and Embracing Brands in Political Con sumerism Magnus Boström The Oxford Handbook of Political Consumerism Edited by Magnus Boström, Michele Micheletti, and Peter Oosterveer Print Publication Date: Feb 2019 Subject: Political Science, Political Behavior Online Publication Date: Aug 2018 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190629038.013.50 Abstract and Keywords Brands play important roles as targets and arenas for political consumerism. Much of po litical consumerist action navigates towards large and highly visible brands, which politi cal consumers reject or embrace. This chapter views a brand—the name and logo of an actor/object and their associated/recognized meanings—as a core symbolic asset of an or ganization. The chapter argues that such a symbolic resource brings both opportunities and risks. A brand increases its power if it is entwined in institutions, identities, everyday practices, discourses, values, and norms. Successful eco- or ethical branding can bring profits, legitimacy, and power to companies. At the same time highly visible brands are targets of negative media reporting and movement attacks, and thus they are vulnerable to reputation risks. Through a literature review, the chapter demonstrates how brands re late to boycott/brand rejection, buycott, discursive, and lifestyle political consumerism. The concluding discussion suggests topics for future research. Keywords: boycott, buycott, discursive, labelling, lifestyle A columnist for the New York Times recently argued that online campaigns “against brands have become one of the most powerful forces in business, giving customers a huge megaphone with which to shape corporate ethics and practices, and imperiling some of the most towering figures of media and industry.”1 Regardless if he is correct or not in his assessment of the strong power of brand-focused online activism, without a doubt brands play imperative roles as targets and arenas for political consumerism, par ticularly in present times. -

Tyrimu atspirties tašku tapo socialinės problemos, kurias pasirenka publikuoti ,„apnuoginti“ gatvės menas. Aptariama žodžio „socialinis“ reikšmė, kokios šiandieninės problemos yra mėgstamos menininkų ir kada darbas įgauna socialinio kūrinio statusą. Supažindinama su gatvės meno terminu, kaip keitėsi naujoji forma ir įgavo įvairiaspalvį veidą, kuris šiandien kelia prieštaravimų ir diskusijų bangą. Analizuojama istorija ir priežastys, turėjusios įtakos Lietuvos gatvės menui. Kadangi šių dienų menininkai savo praktikoje vis dažniau naudoja naująsias medijas, senas gatvės meno formas transformuoja, keičia naujomis, kyla būtinybė nagrinėti tipologiją ir jų specifiką, naujųjų raiškos formų veikimo principus, panašumus bei skirtumus.
