The risk of inauthenticity, however, was made explicit, provoking in the individual the feeling of despair, which becomes more serious the more he withdraws from his self and consecutively from his Author. But it was also spoken of a man inattentive and, however noticeable and clear the signs of transcendence are, it seems that he does not see them, or because of the values exchanged between the temporal and the eternal, he ends up deceiving himself and distancing himself from his Me, becoming a desperate. / Nessa reflexão sobre o desespero na existência humana, perguntou-se e foi proposta uma forma de se viver que não anula o que o homem é, espírito, síntese, mas, firma-o em direção ao transcendente - Deus. Ficou explícito, entretanto o risco da inautenticidade, provocando no indivíduo o sentimento do desespero, que se torna mais grave quanto mais se afasta do seu eu e consecutivamente de seu Autor. Mas também se falou de um homem desatento e, por mais perceptível e claro que sejam os sinais da transcendência, parece que não os vê, ou devido aos valores trocados entre o temporal e o eterno, acaba enganando-se e distanciando-se de seu eu, tornando-se um desesperado.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal investigar práticas de torcedores de futebol com relação aos novos estádios brasileiros, inaugurados para a Copa do Mundo de 2014. Para tanto, analisa-se o período compreendido como de mudança no local dos jogos da equipe do Sport Club Corinthians Paulista na cidade de São Paulo: o Estádio do Pacaembu e a Arena Corinthians. A realização da pesquisa de campo centralizou-se no acompanhamento das atividades dos torcedores em dias de jogos, situações em que as diferenças entre os locais puderam ser observadas a partir da ação. Destaca-se a circulação dos atores pela cidade com o intuito de problematizar não só aspectos da atuação destes no interior das praças esportivas, como implicações decorrentes nos usos de espaços e equipamentos urbanos. A partir das situações observadas, temas como representações da cidade, formas de torcer e consumos específicos foram entrecruzados ao longo da etnografia e, por meio do acompanhamento de distintos agrupamentos de torcedores, em diferentes estádios e locais da cidade, foi possível classificar dicotomias: torcedor organizado/sócio torcedor, transporte público/veículo particular, estádio/arena, Pacaembu/Itaquera. Pode-se, desta maneira, averiguar regularidades na atuação dos sujeitos que passaram por impactos decorrentes da mudança de estádios, bem como, entremeios que despolarizam tais noções dicotômicas. Trata-se, por fim, de investigar mudanças mais amplas no modo de conceber o espectador do futebol de espetáculo. / This research investigates practices of soccer supporters concerning new Brazilian stadiums, opened for the 2014 World Cup. The period analyzed was the change in the place of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista games: Estádio do Pacaembu (Pacaembu Stadium) and Arena Corinthians (Corinthians Arena). The field research was based on the accompaniment of supporters activities on game days, when the differences between places could be observed from the action. The flow of actors through the city is highlighted in order to question not only their action inside the sports arenas, but also implications from the uses of urban spaces and facilities. From the situations observed, subjects as city representation, supporting ways and specific consumption have been crossed along the ethnography and by following different supporters groups in different stadiums and city places, some dichotomies may be classified, such as: organized supporter/associated supporter, public transport/private vehicle, stadium/arena, Pacaembu/Itaquera. So, it was possible to verify regular actions of those subjects that have passed through impacts due to the change in stadium as well as clarify such dichotomy ideas. Finally, wide changes have been investigated in the way of conceiving the spectators of soccer spectacle.

This thesis evaluates the practice of subsidizing entertainment projects as economic development strategy through a case study of the American Airlines Arena (AAA). Subsidy proponents argued that it would generate new tax revenue and jobs, and enhance the city’s image and pride. This rationale neglects factors that mitigate the economic impact of arenas and fails to consider the social costs. The AAA subsidy is evaluated using a cost-benefit method that has been underutilized in academic research. The economic impact is analyzed by estimating the fiscal return on the public’s investment and the number and quality of new jobs created. The social costs are considered in light of Miami’s economic development history and the policy implications are discussed. The AAA subsidy results in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses over the term of the public-private partnership and created a negligible number of low quality jobs. Furthermore, the AAA subsidy may have exacerbated relations between residents and leaders by prioritizing the leisure spending of visitors over the needs of inner city residents.

Sports facilities increasingly feature amongst the most expensive development projects world-wide. One such facility includes world-class stadia. Such facilities tend to commit a considerably large amount of a country's public funds to the project. This public expenditure on new stadia, and the required public taxation, may be economically justified if the benefits from the new stadia outweigh the costs. 15 May 2004 saw South Africa winning the bid to host the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup tournament. This mega-event was played in 10 stadia across nine chosen host cities. Five of these stadia were newly constructed, while the other five needed upgrading. Both South Africa's national government and local governments of host cities bore the expenses of the new stadia construction and the upgrading to the existing stadia. This amounted to a total public expenditure of R13.5295 billion on the stadia alone. The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on the banks of the North End Lake in Port Elizabeth was amongst the five newly constructed stadia costing R1.7 billion. Many international studies have been conducted to assess the impact of new stadia on the economies of host cities. One particular aspect which has received a lot of attention as far as empirical research is concerned is the impact of stadia on residential property prices (Carlino & Couslon, 2004; Davies, 2005; Tu, 2005; Coates & Humphreys, 2006; Ahlfeldt & Maennig, 2007, 2010; Dehring, Depken & Ward, 2007; Feng & Humphreys, 2008, 2012; Kavetsos, 2010; Ahlfeldt, Maennig & Scholz, 2010; Kiel, Matheson & Sullivan, 2010; Ahlfeldt & Kavetsos, 2011; Coates & Matheson, 2011). The majority of the studies conducted have indicated that the presence of a new stadium in an area has a significantly positive effect on surrounding house values that decays with distance from the facility. As no study has yet been done in South Africa to investigate the impact of the announcement of the construction of new stadia on nearby residential property values, this study examines, by means of the hedonic pricing model, the effect of the announcement to construct the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on the banks of North End Lake on adjacent residential property values. The study period for this study was 2004 - 2006. This time period captured the stadium announcement effect. The residential properties in North End that were traded at least once during the period 2004 to 2006 made up the target population. According to the South African Property Transfer Guide (SAPTG), a total of 417 property transactions (excluding repeat sales) took place over the study period (2004 - 2006). The 417 transactions were deemed to be the size of the target population and a list of 100 property transactions were used as the sampling frame. As the study period was from 2004 - 2006, it was necessary to adjust the market prices to constant 2006 prices. For this purpose, data from the Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage section of the ABSA house price indices were used so as to eliminate any inflationary effects on the property values over the study period. The results of the study revealed that the stadium has a statistically significant positive effect on adjacent residential properties situated within a 1 200 metres radius from the stadium. The average owner of a residential property in North End would be willing-to-pay between R10 7898 and R11 704.6 to be situated 435 metres closer to the stadium.

The aim of the present research is to investigate three factors, namely perceptions of fairness in intergroup situations, ingroup identification and spatial dimensions that are assumed to contribute to why individuals participate in violence against the police in soccer stadiums. In Study 1 perceptions of fairness, identification and spatial perspective were manipulated and the results indicated a significant interaction effect between identification and spatial perspective. This interaction effect had a significant influence on negative behavioural tendencies towards police. In Study 2, identification and spatial perspective were manipulated and once again the interaction effect between identification and spatial perspective was found. A main effect of identification was found in that participants who identified lower with fans showed significantly more positive attitudes towards police. The results of the two studies highlight the importance of looking beyond the inherent nature of the crowd itself when analysing situations of police/fan conflict, and also the need to further investigate the spatial dimension and how it influences social judgment and decision making.

On the other hand, the Brazilian football has a distinct reality of European countries where the average occupancy of stadiums rates exceed 80%, as in our country the average occupancy rate in our stadiums does not exceed 40%. In this scenario, the objective is to identify and analyze the factors that influence in the absence of consumers to professional football matches in stadiums in São Paulo. The theoretical framework covered the following concepts: consumer behavior, the sports consumer, stadiums and arenas as production tools and sports consumption and the absence at sporting events. The study addressed consuming people of football, having sympathy or cheer for a club and that at some point attended professional soccer matches in one of the stadiums and arenas in the city of São Paulo. We opted for the city of São Paulo for their representation in the national football scene and this having four professional football teams that regularly compete for championships at regional and national level in the main divisions of Brazil. This study adopted a quantitative approach, such as data collection instrument used a questionnaire survey, involving such consumers into three distinct periods (before, during and after the FIFA World Cup 2014) and were obtained in each of the moments following samples: (i) at time I gave a sample of 347 participants; (Ii) upon II yielded a sample of 220 participants; and (iii) when III yielded a sample of 268 participants, the final sample of 835 participants. Data analysis was performed in two steps. The first step with a descriptive analysis of the data in order to determine the profile of the participants and the second stage included an exploratory factor analysis in order to verify the sets of factors that express common characteristics in motivating individuals with regard to the nonattendance to stadiums. The results of the analysis have identified common characteristics before and after the canopy and different characteristics during the World Cup. It is hoped that future studies be conducted in other regions in order to identify the variables that most affect the retail football matches consumption in Brazilian stadiums. It is hoped that this research not only meets the academic community, but also make it useful for managers and organizations linked to sport. / A indústria do esporte mundial, em especial do futebol, tem conquistado a cada ano um importante espaço na economia mundial. Por outro lado, o futebol brasileiro possui uma realidade distinta dos países europeus onde as taxas médias de ocupação dos estádios superam a 80%, já em nosso país a taxa média de ocupação em nossos estádios não supera os 40%. Neste cenário, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar e analisar os fatores que influenciam na ausência dos consumidores a jogos de futebol profissional nos estádios da cidade de São Paulo. O referencial teórico abordou os seguintes conceitos: comportamento do consumidor, o consumidor esportivo, os estádios e arenas como ferramentas de produção e consumo do esporte e a ausência em eventos esportivos. O estudo abordou pessoas consumidoras de futebol, que possuam simpatia ou torçam por algum clube e que em algum momento assistiram a partidas de futebol profissional em um dos estádios e arenas da cidade de São Paulo. Optou-se pela cidade de São Paulo pela sua representatividade no cenário do futebol nacional e por esta possuir quatro times de futebol profissional que disputam regularmente campeonatos a nível regional e nacional nas principais divisões do Brasil. Este trabalho adotou uma abordagem quantitativa, como instrumento de coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário de pesquisa, envolvendo tais consumidores em três momentos distintos (antes, durante e após a Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014) e foram obtidas em cada um dos momentos as seguintes amostras: (i) no momento I obteve-se uma amostra de 347 participantes; (ii) no momento II obteve-se uma amostra de 220 participantes; e (iii) no momento III obteve-se uma amostra de 268 participantes, totalizando uma amostra final de 835 participantes. A análise dos dados foi realizada em duas etapas. A primeira etapa contemplou uma análise descritiva dos dados com objetivo de determinar o perfil dos participantes e a segunda etapa contemplou uma análise fatorial exploratória com objetivo de verificar os conjuntos de fatores que exprimam características comuns na motivação dos indivíduos com relação ao não comparecimento aos estádios. Os resultados da análise permitiram identificar características comuns antes e depois da copa e características diferenciadas durante a copa. Espera-se que futuros estudos sejam realizados em outras localidades, a fim de identificar as variáveis que mais afetam o não consumo de partidas de futebol profissional nos estádios brasileiros. Espera-se que essa pesquisa não atenda somente a comunidade acadêmica, mas também torná-la útil para os gestores e organizações ligadas ao esporte.

Die doel van hierdie studie is om te probeer vasstel wat bedoel word met die etiese en die religieuse stadiums in die werke van Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855). Wat is die verband tussen hierdie twee stadiums? Hoe vind die oorgang van die een na die ander plaas? Op 'n krities-analitiese wyse word die verskillende synstrukture, kategoriee, begrippe en terme ondersoek soos dit in die denke van Kierkegaard voorkom. Die ondersoek en interpretasie van Kierkegaard se werk word deur verskillende faktore bemoeilik. Dit word in hierdie werkstuk kortliks genoem. Kierkegaard hou aan die leser sekere moontlike vorms van lewe voor. Hierdie vorms van lewe kan binne die etiese en religieuse dimensies val. Die belangrikste begrippe ten opsigte van hoe die enkeling die etiese en die religieuse ken, word voorts bespreek onder drie afdelings : die kategorie, die bestemming en die begrip. Kierkegaard stel dit dat die mens die vermoe het om sekere logiese tipes of reekse van tipes te kan onderskei. Die volgende tipes word bespreek : die verstaanskategorie en die eksistensiekategorie. Laasgenoemde sluit die kategorie van moontlikheid en die kategorie van herhaling in. By die bestemming gaan dit om die korrekte of verkeerde aanwending van die kategoriee. Hierdie beginsel word ondersoek in die etiese en die religieuse stadiums. Die probleem van tese-antitese-sintese word gestel in die lig van die Hegeliaanse beskouing van rnediasie. Die korrelasie wat Kierkegaard stel tussen denke en syn word aangetoon. Die probleem objek-subjek word bespreek en die onderskeid wat deur Kierkegaard gemaak word tussen kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe dialektiek. In die volgende hoofstuk word die eksistensiele beweging by die etiese en die religieuse stadiums aangedui. Vir Kierkegaard is die stel van die self en selfkeuse belangrik. Die selfbewussyn is die plek.waar denke en syn mekaar ontmoet. Die sleutelbegrippe moontlikheid, wording en essensie word geanaliseer. Die korrekte verstaan van ideele en reele syn is verbind met genoemde begrippe. Kierkegaard stel dit dat eksistensie 'n sintese van die oneindige en die eindige is en die eksisterende enkeling is sowel oneindig as eindig. Hierdie uitspraak word voorts ondersoek. Die rrsprong" is 'n sentrale begrip in sy filosofie. Hoe die sprong (in subjektiwiteit) verband hou met verskillende ander begrippe, word aangedui. Verskillende moontlike of gerealiseerde vorms van lewe word aan die leser voorgehou. Die "oomblik" is 'n begrip wat gebruik word in korrelasie met ander begrippe, bv. die tydsbegrip. Wanneer Kierkegaard die relasie van die enkeling stel met wat hy noem "die enkeling voor God'', probeer hy 'n antwoord gee op die sentrale probleem wat hy vir homself stel, nl. hoe om 'n Christen te word. Die verskil tussen Religieusiteit A en Religieusiteit B word oak aangedui. Die volgende hoofstuk handel oor die eksistensiele ervaring by die etiese en religieuse stadiums. Kierkegaard probeer 'n antwoord gee op die God-mens-verhouding. Hy gebruik die voorbeeld van Abraham in die Ou Testament om die beginsel van die teleologiese suspensie van die etiese te demonstreer. Hierdie grootse stuk filosofie van Kierkegaard word krities ondersoek. Kierkegaard se fundering van die etiese en die religieuse word bespreek naas die sieninge van bv. Kant en Hegel. Begrippe soos oneindige oorgawe, versoeking, "Anfechtung", absolute paradoks, skuld en onskuld kern aan die orde. Kategoriee soos wanhoop, angs, onkunde, onskuld, vryheid, ens. word gestel. Daar word aangetoon hoe van hierdie kategoriee by Karl Jaspers, J.P. Sartre en Martin Heidegger in gewysigde vorm voorkom. Die begrippe genie, fatum en passie word ontleed. Kierkegaard se siening van liggaam en gees hou verband met die self en sy moontlikhede; dit verskil by die etiese en religieuse stadiums. Die begrip erfsonde het nie die tradisionele inhoud nie en by die begrip sonde word twee tipes onderskei, die van die enkeling en die van die geslag. By die kategorie sonde word waarheid, onwaarheid, skuld en sondebewussyn gestel. Berou word die hoogste etiese uitdrukking van die enkeling. Die volgende stappe is versoening en "die enkeling.voor God". Die uiteenlopende siening random Kierkegaard se begrip van geloof word ondersoek. Hier le die "hart" van Kierkegaard se eksistensiefilosofie. Geloof is vir hom 'n persoonlike, unieke aangeleentheid van die eksisterende enkeling : dit is 'n wyse van lewe, 'n demonstrasie, streng persoonlik en subjektief. Die relasie tussen Religieusiteit A en Religieusiteit B word verder uitgewerk in die lig van die algemene kategorie van die humor. Die dialektiese verhouding tussen Religieusiteit A en Religieusiteit B word uiteengesit. Verskillende kritiese vrae random hierdie onderskeid word gestel. Met die kategorie lyding ('n uitsluitlik religieuse kategorie) wil Kierkegaard iets heel besonders se. Vir 'n duidelike uiteensetting van die verhouding tussen die etiese en die religieuse stadiums is die kategorie van die enkeling van groot belang. Ons leer die mens ken as enkeling, individu, unieke, enkele, ens. binne die etiese en die religieuse stadiums. Negatiewe kritiek random hierdie kategorie word bespreek en die vraag word gevra of Kierkegaard se enkeling nie totaal vereensaam en geisoleer raak nie? Wat is die enkeling se relasie tot die massa? By Gabriel Marcel, bv. word die "openheid" van die enkeling meer beklemtoon. Max Stirner en Karl Jaspers vind by Kierkegaard se begrip van die enkeling aansluiting. Naas Niezsche plaas Kierkegaard die mens weer sentraal in die filosofie. Kierkegaard was by ·uitstek die filosoof wat erns gemaak het met die Christendom. Hy ontmasker die Christendom van sy tyd met die doel om positiewe resultate te lewer. Hy worstel met die probleem van subjektiwiteit - die vertrekpunt en die eindpunt van sy filosofie. Daar is geen plek vir 'n rasionele etiek nie. 'n Etiese sisteem is nie moontlik nie. Die enkeling, elke handeling en elke situasie is uniek. Kierkegaard stel aan die een kant 'n duidelike onderskeid tussen die etiese en die religieuse stadiums, maar aan die ander kant bring hy die tw~e stadiums bymekaar deur sekere kategoriee te stel. Die relasie tussen die twee stadiums ontglip die leser, juis omdat dit 'n geloofsaksie is. Geloofsuitsprake is van 'n ander aard as etiese uitsprake. Die oorgang van rede tot geloof is met 'n sprang. Kierkegaard oorbeklemtoon nie een van die stadiums nie en verskraal ook nie die religie tot 'n mistiese gevoel of ondervinding nie. Moontlike vorrns van lewe word aan die leser voorgehou met 'n duidelike uitnodiging aan die leser om deel te neem. Kierkegaard plaas die mens as ·enkeling terug in die filosofie. Die hoogste wat die mens kan bereik is om "voor God" te wees. / Thesis (DPhil)--University of Pretoria, 1977. / gm2014 / Anthropology and Archaeology / unrestricted
