“Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together”?: the Crisis of the World Sports Movement in the Context of the Pandemic and the Problem of Racism by E. V. Khakhalkina, A. V. Munko

“…European Football Championship and Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021, FIFA 2022 qualifiers show some politically motivated refereeing, as well as bursts of racism on the part of individual participants. The principle of “political correctness” widespread in the West makes it difficult to discuss and deal with historical and colonial traumas, as well as with the crisis in the values of “fair play” in professional sports, caused by its commercialization and politicization.The article concludes that the observed facts stem, among other things, from the revival of the Black Lives Matter movement in the spring of 2020, which spread beyond the borders of the United States, the formation and expansion of the “cancel culture”, as well as the growing influence of social networks and media on world public opinion. …”

Discursos paralelos, pero en sentido opuesto. Análisis de los populismos de Jair Bolsonaro y Andrés Manuel López Obrador by Azucena Carolina Serrano Rodríguez

“…El argumento central es que el discurso populista tuvo éxito en México y Brasil por cuatro factores: i) porque hubo una ruptura del orden social y los ciudadanos perdieron la confianza hacia las instituciones y en su capacidad para restaurarlo; ii) por el desprestigio que sufrió la clase política; iii) por las transformaciones que sufrieron los medios de comunicación masiva, los cuales facilitaron la difusión de mensajes populistas; y iv) por la parálisis de los partidos tradicionales. Sin embargo, en este artículo se sostiene que en México apareció un populismo de izquierda moderado y en Brasil uno de derecha radical debido a que el primer país mantenía un capitalismo excluyente y el segundo uno incluyente.…”
