Football is ubiquitous and a permanent fixture of modern life. More
than a sport, it frequently manifests in broader popular culture.

popular culture across a wide range of forms, including music,
film, and social media. Football and Popular Culture plots a new
path in Football Studies, drawing on original research in countries
including England, Brazil, Germany, Canada, and Yugoslavia. The
book includes both historical and contemporary perspectives,
exploring some of the most important themes in the study of sport
and culture, including identity, nationalism, fandom, and protest.
It presents diverse case studies ranging from sonic violence among
Brazilian torcidas organizadas to fanled commemoration of the
Munich air disaster, which together help us to better understand
the intersection of sport, society, and popular culture. This is
fascinating reading for any student or researcher working in sport
studies, cultural studies, media studies, sociology, or
contemporary history.

Popular, political and media discourses frame the issue of
migration and shape how and when it enters the public and political
consciousness. These discourses are of crucial importance as they
influence both the general public's perception of migration and the
policies which regulate both the act of migration itself and
migrant residents. Public and Political Discourses of Migration
brings together an interdisciplinary group of established and
emerging scholars, whose work interrogates the relationship between
discourse and migration. Through the application of a variety of
theoretical lenses drawn from the broad canon of discourse studies,
each contribution unpicks the productive power of discourse in
shaping the reality of migration, migration policy and migrant
lives in the twenty-first century. The cases examined emerge, as do
their authors, from a wide spectrum of national, political and
cultural contexts. They are linked by their fundamental questioning
of 'common sense' and ahistorical approaches to migration. They
address the question of whose interests are served by prevailing
discourses and the structures they underpin. Ultimately, they 'make
strange' accepted 'truths' regarding migration in the twenty-first
century.
With many incarnations, The Fall (1976-2018) were one of the most
influential bands to emerge in the British Post-Punk Scene. Their
unique sound and distinct iconography have had a lasting impact on
music fans and performers alike. This book disassembles The Fall's
significant contribution to music. Based on up-to-date original
research, the book separates fact from fiction and offers a
thorough investigation into The Fall and their founder/leader Mark
E Smith, in particular. Given The Fall's complexities (their wide
range of influences; multiple line-ups and 'anti-music' stance),
the book draws upon a wide range of academic disciplines, including
ethnomusicology, sociology, literary theory, linguistics,
journalism, cultural studies, and film and media studies, in order
to unpack the group's influence and legacy.
