CFP Global Perspectives on Soccer and the Media and Entertainment Industry

“Publication

Call for submissions: Global Perspectives on Soccer. Deadline: abstract: 17  March 2024; entire chapter: 9 June 2024.

Volume Editor: Dr. Floribert Patrick C. Endong (University of Dschang, Cameroon)

Over the years, the political significance of football in the world has tremendously grown. This is so irrespective of the fact that national and international footballing authorities – notably the FIFA and the African Football Confederation – have most often claimed to be apolitical. In countries across the world, footballing bodies, clubs and supporters have tended to lean left or right; some have been key voices in the promotion of religious identities and ethnocentrism.

Big sporting events such the FIFA World Cup tournament have similarly been highly politicised. The World Cup in particular has been a site of political protests that have sometimes resulted in boycotts and scandals.

Although a good number of scholars have researched the interaction of football with politics, very little scholarly attention has particularly been given to how this interaction seriously inspires media and artistic/cultural production in the world. In order to fill this gap in knowledge, the present book seeks to explore the interaction between political football and cultural production in the fields of mass media and the entertainment/creative industries.

This book is aimed at providing different perspectives on the interactions between political football and global media and entertainment industries. These perspectives may be historical, religious, socio-cultural and political among others. The book equally seeks to explore representations of football politics in diverse media notably cinema, television, games, magazines, comics, photojournalism, advertising and online platforms among others.

Meertens-NIAS Fellowship 2024-25 (Netherlands)

FellowshipsMeertens-NIAS Fellowship, 2025-25, Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Deadline: 18 March 2024.

The fellowship was set up in 2023 to advance scholarly work in the field of either language or culture in the Netherlands and Dutch language or culture in the world. NIAS and the Meertens Institute firmly believe that strengthening the internationalization of Dutch linguistics and ethnology, contributes to better science.

The Meertens-NIAS Fellowship provides the opportunity for international scholars (both from abroad and residing in the Netherlands) to come to Amsterdam, where they will be able to investigate new ideas, work on a challenging project, and get inspired by the international, interdisciplinary academic community of the KNAW.

The Meertens-NIAS Fellowship is granted for a period of 10 months (Sept 2024 – June 2025). Applicants should have obtained their PhD-degree.

The project proposal should relate to the broad thematic lines of research as explained in the document ‘The Netherlands in the world’, and more specifically should address one of five strategic themes:

  • Intensifying quests for tradition and heritage
  • Dynamics of religion and culture
  • Food, body and wellbeing
  • Affective (language) cultures
  • Shifting relationships between people and nature

The research should include a topic related to the Netherlands, but that does not exclude projects abroad, as long as they pertain to the research programme ‘The Netherlands in the world’.

Other NIAS fellowships are also available; see here.
