Nordicom's activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. • Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic CountriesNordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom information, and an English language journal, Nordicom review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English languages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres attached to the universities in Aarhus,

“…Football identity may be more resilient and enduring than that of others, given the range of routines, exchanges and practices at work. Other football studies have examined national sporting stereotypes (O'Donnell, 1994), football and identity in Scottish football as portrayed by the media (Boyle and Haynes, 1999), French national identity during France 1998 (O'DonnelL and Blain, 1999) and the spectator identification with football clubs (Giulianotti, 2002). These earlier studies focus primarily on the creation of identity for football supporters and fans.…”

PurposeThis study aims to add to the understanding of the significance of football in cities, where most major football clubs are located. Specifically, this study offers a distinctive perspective on what might be regarded as “football cities” by the study's mobilisation of theories of the urban mosaic, the calculable city and identity. This study contributes to the emergent field of popular culture (Jeacle, 2012) and, within this field of popular culture, the significance of soccer. The particular setting of this study is the city. This paper is a contribution to the established accounting literature on city studies but within the neglected study of football in cities.Design/methodology/approachThis paper's focus is on the significance of football clubs in one city. The theoretical approach adopted is a blending of studies of the urban mosaic (Timms, 1975), the calculable city (Lapsley et al., 2010) and the established trend of identification studies in accounting. This investigation was undertaken in the city of Edinburgh by observation of football in city life. This research is a form of participant observation in which the author lived in the city in this study. The researcher undertook interviews with key actors in both football clubs and city management, made use of local media and scrutinised publicly available documents on both the clubs and the city administrations.FindingsThis research reveals the importance of the city mosaic in explaining the limited significance of football in this city. This approach underlines the merits of contextual studies. However, the evidence presented also reveals the presence of strong identity relationships between football clubs and the clubs' fans. These results reveal an internal perspective on city management and the activities of football clubs and the clubs' host city. The presence of multiple football clubs in a single city offers more diffuse identity relationships, with football clubs fostering stronger identification with the club than with the city. There is also evidence of single, dual and multiple identity relationships in this study which contrasts with the single identity perspectives of prior accounting research.Research limitations/implicationsThe focus of this paper is on the research question posed in the Call for Papers - Is there a Soccer Society? The findings of this study offer only limited evidence of a soccer society.Practical implicationsThere is a need to study other cities with football clubs to determine those which are mosaics and those which are dominated by football.Social implicationsThis a study which embraces the importance of social context in finding meaning in accounting research. This paper introduces the novel concept of the city mosaic which is a novel way of understanding different city contexts.Originality/valuePrior research on football has examined fans' behaviour, financial crises at football clubs and governance structures. This paper extends these earlier analyses by addressing the social context of football clubs in the city. Whilst most accounting research revealed rapid changes in identity during reforms, this study reveals a more complex relationship which aims to build continuity and commitment of fans' identity with the bigger football clubs in this city.

“…De surcroît, la situation dans laquelle se trouve l'équipe de France le 6 octobre 2001 s'avère particulière. En effet, trois ans auparavant, le 12 juillet 1998, les scènes de liesse ayant accompagné la victoire des Tricolores en Coupe du monde ont conduit certains journalistes, politiciens et intellectuels à invoquer le triomphe du multiculturalisme (Crolley and Hand 2002;Hare 1999, 2000;Dietschy et al 2006;Dine 2000Dine , 2003Gastaut 2007;Marks 1999;McKeever 1999;Mignon 1999;O'Donnell and Blain 1999;Silverstein 2000) en raison du métissage des joueurs. 1 La sélection française fut décrite comme le symbole de la « Nouvelle France », une France « black-blanc-beur » unie en dépit de sa diversité.…”
