Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

    FC UNITED LIMITED Trading as FC United of Manchester NOTICE of an extraordinary General Meeting NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an extraordinary General Meeting of FC United Limited will take place on Saturday 25th June 2016, at Longfield Suite, 3 Longfield Centre, Prestwich M25 1AY. The meeting will commence at noon. Registration opens at 11.00am. The meeting will consider the following business: 1. Chair’s Welcome and Election of Scrutineers 2. Questions for candidates Re-Open Nominations Members who feel that some or all candidates are unsuitable may indicate this by voting to re-open nominations. Lawrence Gill This nomination is supported by Blaine Emmett, Nick Duckett, Alex Jones, Peter Wharton, Robin Squelch. I’m Lawrence Gill, co-owner, founder member and season ticket holder since 2005. Prior to that I was a season ticket holder and shareholder at OT. As FC we have achieved so much in a short space of time. However, that progress has not been without its difficulties and the last twelve months have been difficult. I think it’s inevitable that, given our roots as a bunch of ‘arsey’, opinionated Mancunians, we have differing opinions on how we see progress to date and what should happen next. Consensus isn’t always achievable. But we are a democratic organisation and that brings a responsibility on all of us to listen to the opinions of others in a respectful way and decide as a majority on the way forward. I think we have scored a few own goals over the past few months. As members, we rely on communication from the club.

  • 1 Introduction: the Global Football League 2 the Network League
    Notes 1 Introduction: The Global Football League 1. When Ferguson was appointed, the club had not won the league since 1967/68 season and in that gap had only won three F.A. Cups. Hence, Fergusons’ spell at the club is universally regarded as its most successful period. 2. Although the loss of value of the sterling currency – relative to particularly the euro – and Spain’s tax-break ‘Beckham law’ (see Valasco and Garcia Perrote 2009) may have altered this position. 2 The Network League: Global Brand Clubs, ‘Game 39’ and Transnational Spaces 1. In the 1992/93 season, BSkyB showed 60 live games at a cost of £640,000 per game. By 2009, BSkyB and Setanta were screening 138 live games per season, which worked out at £4.7m per live match. 2. The aggregate points have been drawn from the (ordinal) yearly points totals of each of the 13 seasons that have been taken into account. In such instances, the first-ranked club in each given season is awarded 20 points, with the twentieth-ranked club awarded one point. Thus, 260 was the maxi- mum number of points that were achievable. 3. Principally high player wages, but also a ‘mortgage-style’ debt, which they had accrued in order to purchase higher quality players. 4. According to Wilson (2007), the EPL’s overseas broadcasting deals have doubled in value with every new set of three year contracts since 2001. For instance, the 2001–04 deal was worth £178m and the 2004–07 contracts were valued at £325m. 5. Carlin (2004) also argues that a Japanese response to the transfer was that a major TV station immediately snapped up the rights to live broadcast Spanish league games and paid €8m for a thirty-second spot Beckham did to promote their channel.

It has been possible therefore to develop a perhaps privileged, and certainly “engaged”, perspective from which to consider the structurally unsettled yet fiercely defended “habitus” of Manchester’s football culture.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by LJMU Research Online Football Fandom, Mobilization and Herbert Blumer Football Fandom, Mobilization and Herbert Blumer: A Social Movement Analysis of F.C. United of Manchester Abstract This article explores the establishment and development of fan-owned association football club, F.C. United of Manchester. It does this by drawing upon extensive ethnographic fieldwork, including interviews, observations and an analysis of multiple texts, such as fanzines, web-based and media reports materials and discusses this using Herbert Blumer’s theory of collective behavior. As such, the article addresses two research questions: first, what the empirical case example of F.C. United of Manchester offers to the critical understanding of Blumer’s theory and second, what the theory can give to the understanding of twenty-first century protests in popular culture. Therefore this article contributes to contemporary debates on association football fandom, social movements and the theories of Herbert Blumer. Keywords: Association Football; Fandom; Social Movement; Herbert Blumer; Collective Behavior 1 Football Fandom, Mobilization and Herbert Blumer Football Fandom, Mobilization and Herbert Blumer: A Social Movement Analysis of F.C. United of Manchester Introduction The Florida-based businessman Malcolm Glazer and his family purchased the economic ownership rights to English Premier League (hereon EPL) club Manchester United F.C. (hereon Manchester United) on 12 May 2005 for £790m. The Glazers had initially bought up a 2.9 per cent stake in the club in March 2003 and by 28 June 2005 owned 98 per cent of the club’s shareholding, delisting it from the stock-exchange (BBC News 2005).

It considers some of the approaches to thinking about ‘communities’ in relation to football supporters. It considers the disruption to football supporter communities in light of that take over; different community formations amongst the club’s fans; and the political purpose and ‘politicised’ expressions of community within the club’s fan culture. Introduction This essay considers some of the approaches to thinking about ‘communities’ in football discussed elsewhere in this volume in relation to FC United of Manchester (FCUM). In this essay we will first look at the formation of the club in the changing context of English football and its threat to established communities of Manchester United fans; we will then consider the different community formations amongst the club’s fans; and thirdly the political purpose and ‘politicized’ expressions of community within the club’s fan culture. FC United were formed as part of the rejection by some fans of the take-over of Manchester United by the Glazer family in 2005. Since then the club has been successful in gaining two successive promotions that has lifted them from the North West Counties Division Two to the Unibond Northern Premier League Division One, four promotions from the Football League.
