“…In this respect, human rights activists have doubts about whether Italy is capable of or willing to go beyond exclusionary policies. Of concern is the strategic adoption of civic integration strategies for educating immigrants about the supremacy of the West (their acceptance thereof is one criterion of their incorporation into the demos) (Joppke 2007;Duerr 2017).…”

Polygamy – a type of relationship where a person marries more than one partner - is one of the most divisive issues within modern Italian society. Yet, the international literature remains mostly silent on Italian citizens’ reasons against and for it. The present paper fills such a gap by highlighting the narratives of 22 individuals aged between their late-20s and mid-50s. Results show that most participants believe there is a troubling correlation between polygamy and harm to women and children. Slippery slope objections were commonplace in all the discussions. For instance, many respondents asserted that the practice leads to the most radical transformation of the notion of marriage and by consequence, of the family. Others felt it increases the likelihood that unmarried men resort to crime as a means to gain material and symbolic resources such as partners and status. Notably, these perspectives may be expected to mirror those of society at large. Future research should demonstrate whether balance can be struck between the measures required by Italian law to protect people from violence, and preserving the right to marry. However, scholars must avoid playing into the mainstream narrative that polygamy is inherently adversarial to Western values.

“…Violence associated with football is mostly the responsibility of organized football fans, although some spectators who do not integrate the fan clubs may also be responsible for some of that violence [6]. These violent incidents are sometimes interpreted as the result of hooligans' behavior, and other times as complex crowd events [7][8][9]. The concept of hooliganism is very wide, encompassing alcoholized fans and situations involving hundreds of fans [5,10].…”

The present study aims to characterize football fans and non-fans and to compare their psychopathological symptoms with the latest normative values for the Portuguese population from Canavarro in 2007. Results showed that football fans and non-fans are mostly male, have an affective relationship, are childless, have secondary education or a high degree, and are employed or students; fans are more likely to be male, dating, unemployed, to have elementary education and be younger than non-fans. Football fans present significantly higher psychopathological symptoms than non-fans in somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, hostility, paranoid ideation and psychoticism and all psychopathological indexes. Football fans present values very close to those of populations with emotional distress in hostility and are above the mean of the general population in obsession–compulsion, hostility, paranoid ideation and psychoticism.

“…Reflecting the ambiguity of their international presence, teams are described both as ‘national' teams and Transnationalmannschaften (transnational teams) by organizers 6 . For these entities, participating in the ConIFA football competition allows them to use the world's most popular sport as a tool to promote their national aspirations, to increase their visibility, and to execute a form of ‘non‐formal cultural diplomacy' (Duerr, 2017). ConIFA has fixed rules about who can and cannot participate in their event, though these formal considerations turn out to be somewhat flexible in practice 7 .…”

This paper lies at the intersection of scholarly literatures on forced migration, politically engaged diasporas, and the use of online platforms and digital technologies for political ends. It follows the efforts of a group of Rohingya diasporic activists using a variety of means, online and offline, to contest the claims and authority of Myanmar, an established territorial state. Their actions can be subsumed into two kinds of politics, a politics of confrontation and a politics of recognition. Taken together, these actions lead to an emergent political formation, a reterritorialised, dispersed, and virtual national community that seeks to mimic some state functions without explicitly calling for self‐determination or an independent nation‐state. This paper follows four activist projects: YouTube‐based Rohingya TV, the effort to join the ConIFA alternative World Football Cup tournament, the campaign to have the Rohingya script recognized by the Unicode Consortium, and the effort to build a database for undocumented Rohingyas using blockchain. This complex of social, political, electronic, and virtual relations is situated against a 20th century political imaginary built around the homeland–people–language trinity, dialectically producing an immanent contradiction.
