  • Looking Green
    Ville Titoff Looking Green Visual Environmental Framing of FIFA – The Context of the Football World Cup 2014 in Brazil University of Tampere School for Social Sciences and Humanities MDP in Peace, Mediation and Conflict Research (history) Master’s Thesis February 2017 Abstract The environment has been studied to have a central role in positively peaceful and sustainable development. Thus, it is important to learn more about the alternative contexts where different actors are shaping the global environmental governance process. My research is mapping these alternative contexts and actors by examining how the global corporation family of the world football federation, FIFA, participated in the environmental framing process in the context of the biggest and the most global popular sports event of the world, the football World Cup. More precisely, the context is the latest World Cup-project in Brazil, between years 2007–2014. As the visual material is a very powerful tool in different framing processes, the focus in this research has been on the visual publications of FIFA. To be more precise, I have analyzed the environment-related photographs published by FIFA in their official website, fifa.com. These photographs have been analyzed with the methods of social semiotics, and by using the contemporary historical approach with a careful source critique and deep understanding of the time period and locational context. Content analysis helped to categorize my findings. I discovered that the visual image of the environmental sustainability campaign of FIFA was not as environmentally responsible as it looks at a first glance. It seems that FIFA selected environmental topics that were easy to make look good, and which were able to receive a lot of media attention.

    Elites and carbon offsetting in Brazil: A critique of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Mato Grosso Lauren A H Crabb A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Essex Business School University of Essex October 2016 1 Acknowledgements This PhD would not have been possible without the love and support of a number of people, this really has been a team effort. My success in the field was totally reliant on the people I encountered. An enormous debt of gratitude is owed to Robson de Brito and Lunira Arruda de Sequiera who let a stranger in and made my research possible. To Dr Dora Matello and Patrycia who were such great hosts for my initial days in Cuiabá and Dr Carla Valentini and her family, who never left my side through the whole process. To Chacho who always made me laugh, I will miss our journeys on your yellow boat and Dinho, Tata, Luiz Henrique, Nathalia, Ana and Aline, my cultural mentors. This list is not exhaustive but to all the workers and guests who were at the Pousada Itaicy, I could never express how important your patience and enthusiasm for my work was in this process. Obrigada. My family have been influential throughout my whole life, and I have only achieved this because of them. First, to my Grandparents: Len and Shirley Crabb and Tom and Maureen Topley. Nan and Grandad Crabb taught me the love of adventures and journeys but to always to do it with a smile on my face and a drink in my hand.
