  • Shirt Movements in Interwar Europe: a Totalitarian Fashion
    Ler História | 72 | 2018 | pp. 151-173 SHIRT MOVEMENTS IN INTERWAR EUROPE: A TOTALITARIAN FASHION Juan Francisco Fuentes 151 Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain [email protected] The article deals with a typical phenomenon of the interwar period: the proliferation of socio-political movements expressing their “mood” and identity via a paramilitary uniform mainly composed of a coloured shirt. The analysis of 34 European shirt movements reveals some common features in terms of colour, ideology and chronology. Most of them were consistent with the logic and imagery of interwar totalitarianisms, which emerged as an alleged alternative to the decaying bourgeois society and its main political creation: the Parliamentary system. Unlike liBeral pluralism and its institutional expression, shirt move- ments embody the idea of a homogeneous community, based on a racial, social or cultural identity, and defend the streets, not the Ballot Boxes, as a new source of legitimacy. They perfectly mirror the overwhelming presence of the “brutalization of politics” (Mosse) and “senso-propaganda” (Chakhotin) in interwar Europe. Keywords: fascism, Nazism, totalitarianism, shirt movements, interwar period. Resumo (PT) no final do artigo. Résumé (FR) en fin d’article. “Of all items of clothing, shirts are the most important from a politi- cal point of view”, Eugenio Xammar, Berlin correspondent of the Spanish newspaper Ahora, wrote in 1932 (2005b, 74). The ability of the body and clothing to sublimate, to conceal or to express the intentions of a political actor was by no means a discovery of interwar totalitarianisms. Antoine de Baecque studied the political dimension of the body as metaphor in eighteenth-century France, paying special attention to the three specific func- tions that it played in the transition from the Ancien Régime to revolutionary France: embodying the state, narrating history and peopling ceremonies.

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.

  • Partnerships to Bridge Innovation and Access
    2014 ANNUAL REPORT Partnerships to Bridge Innovation and Access VISION To improve the quality of life and the health of people suffering from neglected diseases by using an alternative model to develop drugs for these diseases and by ensuring equitable access to new and field- relevant tools. In this not-for-profit model, driven by the public sector, a variety of players collaborate to raise awareness of the need to research and develop drugs for those neglected diseases that fall outside the scope of market-driven R&D. They also build public responsibility and leadership in addressing the needs of these patients. MISSION To develop new drugs or new formulations of existing drugs for patients suffering from the most neglected communicable diseases. Acting in the public interest, DNDi will bridge existing R&D gaps in essential drugs for these diseases by initiating and coordinating drug R&D projects in collaboration with the international research community, the public sector, the pharmaceutical industry, and other relevant partners. DNDi’s primary focus will be the development of drugs for the most neglected diseases, such as sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease; and it will also consider engaging R&D projects on other neglected diseases. DNDi will address unmet needs by taking on projects that others are unable or unwilling to pursue and, as means permit, will consider development of diagnostics and/or vaccines. In pursuing these goals, DNDi will manage R&D networks built on South- South and North-South collaborations. While using the existing support capacities in countries where the diseases are endemic, DNDi will help to build additional capacity in a sustainable manner through technology transfer in the field of drug research and development for neglected diseases.

  • The Paradox of the Portuguese Game: the Omnipresence of Football and the Absence of Spectators at Matches to Joao Nuno Coelho and Nina Clara Tiesler
    FSAS_A_243975 .fm Page 578 Thursday, July 12, 2007 9 :38 PM • Soccer and Society Routledge Vol. 8, No . 4, Month 2007, pp. 578-600 R Taylor 6 Franco Group The Paradox of the Portuguese Game: The Omnipresence of Football and the Absence of Spectators at Matches to Joao Nuno Coelho and Nina Clara Tiesler Without doubt, football is omnipresent in the Portuguese public (and private) sphere. Some speak about the footballizaton of Portuguese society', and criticize the hegemony of football in Portuguese culture, along with it the close (and sometimes dangerous) connec- tions between football and politics . What is so interesting about this phenomenon is that it is juxtaposed with other facts, such as stadium attendance being surprisingly low. The essay brings to the forefront the particularities of the Portuguese football social formation case by taking these two current realities as a point of departure . In analysing stadium attendance over three decades against specific historical backgrounds, the authors present six different factors which explain the paradox and come to the conclusion that both realities are not contradictory – but partly determining each other. Someone was saying yesterday that Norway is the top-ranking country in human development; ( .. .) that it's a fantastic country and so on and so on ( .. .) But here's back at them . Portugal is at the top of its group and all it needs is a draw to qualify 30 for the World Cup while Norway is five points behind the leader of its group! ( .. .) Ha ha ha! [ l ] Introduction Although Portuguese football is reasonably well-known to international football fans, at least since Benfica and the national team of Eusebio & Co ., the general idea abroad that Portugal is a `football country' is much more recent (Euro 2004).
