    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown La atacante brasileña Marta es candidata al Balón de Oro. Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:28 pm ¡Cuidado con el balón: es de oro! El próximo 7 de enero, la FIFA dará a conocer quién ganó el Balón de Oro 2012. Hoy, JR comparte con ustedes la historia y actualidad de este galardón Publicado: Sábado 08 diciembre 2012 | 07:17:55 pm. Publicado por: José Luis López No hace falta hacer un sondeo nacional para sentenciar que nuestros jóvenes conocen las particularidades, como deportistas y seres humanos, de sus ídolos futbolísticos, entre los que aparecen Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andrés Iniesta o Zlatan Ibrahimovic, por solo citar cuatro ejemplos. Muestra de ello es que a nuestra redacción han llegado correos electrónicos y llamadas telefónicas de jóvenes que solicitan información sobre la historia del archifamoso Balón de Oro, especialmente la rica disputa acerca de quién se lo agenciará este año. Érase un balón… Según ha trascendido, el Balón de Oro fue un premio individual otorgado, desde el año 1956 hasta el 2009, por la revista francesa especializada France Football al mejor jugador inscrito cada año en algún campeonato de fútbol profesional europeo. Por ese motivo también se le conoció como el Premio al mejor jugador europeo del año (European Footballer of the Year award). Instituido en 1956 por Gabriel Hanot, director de la mencionada revista y precursor de la Copa de Campeones de Europa, en un principio el galardón estuvo dirigido exclusivamente a futbolistas de nacionalidad europea.

  • FISH Newsletter November 16
    Tehran Taxi (Iran 2015) DIRECTOR : Jafar Panahi RUNNING TIME : 82mins RATING : Documentary Synopsis: Banned Iranain director Jafar Panahi takes to the streets of Tehran in a taxi with his camera secreted on the cab’s dashboard. Winner of the Golden Bear Berlin Film Festival 2015 Review:Jonathan Romney Much loose talk is bandied around in the film world about directors’ bravery and the heroism of “guerrilla” film-making – but those terms genuinely mean something when applied to Iran’s Jafar Panahi. After making several robust realist dramas about the challenges of everyday life in his country – among them The Circle, Crimson Gold and the exuberantly angry football movie Offside – Panahi fell foul of the Iranian government, which threatened him with imprisonment, prevented him from travelling and banned him from making films for 20 years. He has protested by working under the wire to make three extraordinary works, contraband statements that are at once a cri de coeur from internal exile, and a bring-it-on raised fist of defiance. This Is Not a Film (2011, directed with Mojtaba Mirtahmasb) showed Panahi cooling his heels under house arrest in his Tehran flat, and evoking the film that he would have made had he been allowed to pick up a camera. He wasn’t technically making an actual film, Panahi argued – yet he was manifestly making one anyway, as the world saw when the result was smuggled to Cannes on a USB stick hidden in a cake. However, the less successful Closed Curtain (2013, directed with Kambuzia Partovi) was a claustrophobically self-referential chamber piece, and suggested that Panahi’s plight was getting the better of him.

CHRI engages in intensive outreach and international advocacy aimed at defending the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Iranian people and holding the Iranian government accountable to its human rights obligations.

Because the presence of female poets in Iranian literature is a relatively recent phenomenon, there are few published studies describing and analysing Iranian women’s poetry; most of the critical studies that do exist were completed in the last three decades after the Revolution in 1979.

  • Football and National Identity in Hong Kong and Mainland China
    The Hong Kong Anthropologist Volume 1, 2007 Football and National Identity in Hong Kong and Mainland China CHAN Kwan Hang, Brooklyn1 Introduction Ernest Gellner believed in today’s world that, “a man must have a nationality as he must have a nose and two ears”. (Billig quoting Gellner 1983: 6) Hong Kong, with its history of being a British Crown Colony from 1898 to 1997, nationality doesn’t come as naturally as Gellner suggested. Residents often convey a weak sense of belonging towards their state, China. This can be seen from the majority of Hong Kong people paying phlegmatic attention to the 1997 handover as the “joy” of returning to the Motherland was shared by only a handful. Some even anticipated adverse prospects in Hong Kong. Fearing the worst, many chose to emigrate. Seven years on, significant change of hearts is still inexistent as today Chinese National Day is still rather overlooked and given the cold-shoulder in Hong Kong (local schools have the option to decide rather they celebrate National Day and most opt not to); and more obviously some people refuse or feel peculiar to call themselves “Chinese”. Seemingly Hong Kong people make little identification with their state, China. However when Yao Ming, a Chinese basketball player of Houston Rockets, visited Hong Kong in 2003 and 2005, stadiums were filled with enthusiastic audience attending a seminar about “Distinguished Chinese”; considerate support was given to China as the team played in the finals of the 2002 World Cup. How does that happen? Why doesn’t the identification persist and expand to other areas? Archetti once said, “Nationalism must be conceived as a cognitive and social arena marked by obligations and not by selfish consideration” (Giulianotti, Williams 1994: 227) This will bring us to the central question I wish to answer in this project.
