To him belonged clear-eyed, if not always clearly worded, explication of concepts such as "hyperreality" and "simulation”—with the latter implying more than Arjen Robben flopping around on the left-hand touchline. Such notions have lent themselves to football, including Baudrillard's own essay on the Heysel disaster of 1985.]]> http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2007/03/jean-baudrillard-1929-2007-coining-a-worldwide-currency-for-football-violence/feed/ http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2007/03/coverage-abroad-in-islamic-world-head-scarves-not-always-compulsory-football-equipment/ http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2007/03/coverage-abroad-in-islamic-world-head-scarves-not-always-compulsory-football-equipment/#comments Sun, 11 Mar 2007 23:49:16 +0000 John Turnbull http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/?p=242 Rabat, Morocco, Mar 11 | A cursory survey of women's use of the hijab within football, in both Muslim and non-Muslim lands, shows variance that likely defies a systemic approach.]]> http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2007/03/coverage-abroad-in-islamic-world-head-scarves-not-always-compulsory-football-equipment/feed/ http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2007/02/a-portrait-with-fluidity-preserving-zidanes-day-of-work-on-the-green-of-the-field/ http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2007/02/a-portrait-with-fluidity-preserving-zidanes-day-of-work-on-the-green-of-the-field/#comments Mon, 26 Feb 2007 03:56:49 +0000 John Turnbull http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/?p=240 http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2007/02/a-portrait-with-fluidity-preserving-zidanes-day-of-work-on-the-green-of-the-field/feed/ http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2006/04/clases-de-baile-zidanes-dance-class-takes-final-bow/ http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2006/04/clases-de-baile-zidanes-dance-class-takes-final-bow/#comments Thu, 27 Apr 2006 04:25:34 +0000 John Turnbull http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/?p=141 Madrid | With pledges "to leave it all behind" and to start playing the game with children, archetypal playmaking midfielder Zinédine Zidane has announced his retirement from football following the World Cup finals.
