    Cheering For Self: An Ethnography of the Basketball Event Review

    Cheering For Self: An Ethnography of the Basketball Event Overview

    This book is a study of UW men’s basketball fans during the 2001-2002 season and explores their proclivity to ‘cheering for self’ during basketball events. The term ‘basketball event’ is used rather than ‘basketball game’ to make clear that everything connected to and seen, heard, or experienced before, during and after a basketball game is included. The actual game itself is only part of the ‘basketball event.An undercurrent runs throughout this participant observation mini-ethnography dealing with access, and the relative quality of that access, to basketball events being affected by ones age, class, race, and gender. The prominent role of advertising in shaping basketball events and helping to construct fans as consumers of products (both commercial and institutional) during the process of cheering for self is central to this idea. Cheering for self is the activity engaged in by individual fans after they find things to identify or connect with through personal investment. Fans cheer for self indirectly. Fans cheer for the team that they identify with. Through the process of cheering for self while attending the basketball event people are taught how to become fans, to consume a UW product–the basketball event and to consume advertisers’ products. People have a tendency to spend their entire life trying to impress others.

    A Pensioner's Lament: -Public Pension Dealings in New Jersey-
    A Pensioner’s Lament takes the reader behind the ‘seen’, exposing pension-abuse and fraud made possible initially by bureaucratic incompetence. It reveals fiduciary irresponsibility on the part of administrators and trustees of New Jersey’s public pensions and deception in that State’s Office of the Attorney General. The author’s five-year unsuccessful pursuit of simple justice challenges the TPAF’s simplistic interpretation of its own regulations. The reader sees what the author wrote and how his correspondents reacted.A Pensioner’s Lament takes two appellate judges to task for neglecting to consider the author’s legal arguments. Opinions of scholars and law professors are quoted. And, as he unravels his own adventure in the Garden State, the author comments on law, semantics, statutory interpretation etc. This documented revelation of administrative misfeasance and judicial malpractice will capture the attention and interest of public school educators everywhere. Law students, lawyers, judges and future pensioners will likewise find this legal affair of an unintimidated retiree truly riveting. Timely in its allusions to, and comments on, abuse on the part of trusted professionals, A Pensioner’s Lament cries out for a reform of the American judiciary and for the ‘thorough and efficient’ non-partisan supervision of the fiduciaries of public pension funds.

    Our Price : $28.95

    Average Customer Review:




    Webster’s bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on “Strategies For Success,” including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Strategies For Success in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Strategies For Success when it is used in proper noun form. Webster’s timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Strategies For Success, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under “fair use” conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.
