‘Let's Win this Game Together’: Children's Rights Violations,Macro‐Securitisation and the Transformative Potential of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

Sport's transformative potential is known to support marginalised children, to deal with traumatic experiences and instil positive values; yet hosting mega sporting events (MSEs) can have negative impacts. Drawing on participatory research with favela‐based children during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, this article argues that MSEs bring a macro‐securitisation of urban life, which causes considerable harm. This paper also suggests that the inclusion of children's voices in advocacy debates can challenge top‐down securitisation and might allow MSEs to foster further positive social transformation. Therefore, juxtaposed with causing harm, macro‐securitisations can open opportunities for children to take action and have their voices heard.     

Can We Blame it on Rio?

The Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games were the last major sporting event in a decade‐long cycle in the Brazilian metropolis. In the years leading up to the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the city's urban planning agenda was captured by the exogenous demands of hosting the quadrennial spectacular. This capture has exacerbated four tendencies that will pertain in Rio de Janeiro for the foreseeable future: consolidation of consumer sovereignty, restructuring of urban circulations, financialisation of urban territories, and securitisation of exception.

军人与“经济人”

军人是经济人。军人既具有军人的特殊性,又具有社会人的一般性,不能用他们的特殊性否定他们的一般性。社会对军人的供给与军人需求的均衡度,决定着军人的安心度,军人对自身收益的判断,与它的相对值有关。承认军人是经济人,是对军人有追求正当利益需求的肯定,有利于从实际出发确立工作思路和方法、制定相应的政策,也为政治教育提供科学的依据     

Diversity in times of austerity: documenting resistance in the academy

What happens to feminism in the university is parallel to what happens to feminism in other venues under economic restructuring: while the impoverished nation is forced to cut social services and thereby send women back to the hierarchy of the family, the academy likewise reduces its footprint in interdisciplinary structures and contains academic feminists back to the hierarchy of departments and disciplines. When the family and the department become powerful arbiters of cultural values, women and feminist academics by and large suffer: they either accept a diminished role or are pushed to compete in a system they recognize as antithetical to the foundational values of feminist priorities of social justice. Collaborative work to nurture diversity and interdisciplinarity does not register as individual accomplishment. This paper considers the necessity of this type of academic work to further the vision of a society committed to the collective values espoused by feminism and other areas in social justice.

高校社团组织管理之思考:以社会转型为视域

改革开放以来,高校非政府组织得到了迅速发展,尤其是各种类型的高校社团组织不断发展壮大,但由于种种原因,高校社团组织在管理方面还存在着政策规定不到位、管理指导不到位等问题,在一定程度上有被境外敌对势力渗透利用的危险。因此,高校学生社团组织管理是一项系统工程,应从完善政策规定、强化分类整合、规范管理指导、增强防范意识等方面入手,才能在当前社会大发展的时代背景下,努力实现高校社团工作的新发展、新突破。
