Opis: Objectives: Evidence on the effects of curvilinear sprint (CS) training in female soccer players is limited. This study examined the effects of adding a weighted vest during CS training on sprint and vertical jump performance in youth female soccer players. Methods: Sixteen players were randomly assigned to a CS training group (CON; n = 8) or a weighted vest CS training group using 10% body mass (WV; n = 8) for six weeks (one session per week). Pre- and post-intervention testing included a 30-m linear sprint (LS), CS performed to the left and right sides, squat jump (SJ), and countermovement jump (CMJ). Peak sprinting speed (Speak) measured via Global Navigation Satellite System during LS, weaker-side, and stronger-side CS, as well as jump height, were analysed as primary outcomes. Curvilinear sprint asymmetry (CSASY) was calculated as a secondary outcome. Results: Paired-samples t-tests showed significant improvements in weaker-side CS for CON (+3.5%) and WV (+5.3%), accompanied by significant reductions in CSASY. Significant decreases in SJ and CMJ height were observed only in the CON group (−7.6 and −7.7%, respectively). The ANCOVA revealed greater post-intervention Speak in stronger-side and weaker-side CS for the WV group. Conclusion: Curvilinear sprint training improved weaker-side CS performance in youth female soccer players, whereas training with a weighted vest additionally mitigated declines in jumping performance. Curvilinear sprint training with or without a weighted vest may enhance direction-specific sprint speed in youth female soccer players.

Opis: This article analyses the exchange of friendship bracelets among Taylor Swift fans (Swifties) as a gift economy shaped by parasociality and platform capitalism. Because the celebrity is structurally inaccessible at scale, reciprocity cannot return as an interpersonal gift and is instead displaced laterally into fan-to-fan exchange, becoming horizontal reciprocity and a moral economy of belonging. Drawing on Mauss and Lévi-Strauss, and extending the analysis through Malinowski, Appadurai, Kopytoff, Weiner, Gell, and Miller, I show how mass-produced materials are singularised through labour and ex change. The Eras Tour operates as a tournament of value in which bracelets function as pop-cultural valuables whose circulation organises recognition and inclusion. Reciprocity here can be understood as temporally extended, networked circulation anchored around an absent centre.

Opis: This article examines utopianism as a historically contingent and politically ambivalent discourse shaped by its entanglement with race, Indigeneity, empire, and white supremacy. Challenging neutral or universalist accounts of utopia, it argues that modern utopian thought emerged not outside colonial modernity but through and alongside its architectures of territorial conquest, epistemic hierarchization, racial differentiation, coerced labour, and imperial governance. In its canonical form, utopia functioned as a technology of colonial futurity: it rendered land available for appropriation and extraction, positioned Europe as the agent of historical progress, and naturalized racialized forms of dispossession in the name of an ideal social order. Yet the article does not conclude that futurity itself must be abandoned. In stead, it provincializes classical utopia and asks what remains of world imagination after utopia’s colonial genealogy has been exposed. To address this, the article develops the concept of ‘entangled futures’: a con flictual field in which colonial, decolonial, Black radical, Indigenous, and anti-humanist temporalities are historically forced into relation without becoming equivalent or fully translatable. Through readings in utopian studies, settler-colonial critique, Black radical thought, critiques of Western humanism, and Indigenous futurisms, it argues that radical futurity cannot be reduced to a single emancipatory horizon. What survives the critique of utopia is not its rehabilitation as a universal ideal, but a fractured and incommensurable field of world-making.

Opis: Contemporary debates on utopia, dystopia, and retrotopia are often framed as conflicts between competing visions of the future. This paper argues that such figures are better understood as symptomatic expressions of a deeper crisis in the phenomenological articulation of time. What is at stake is not primarily a lack of imagination, but a disruption in the transmission of meaning across past, present, and future. Drawing on Husserl’s late diagnosis of crisis, Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of institution and sedimentation, and postphenomenological accounts of technical mediation, the paper reconstructs the conditions under which temporal sense can remain operative rather than rigidified. It shows that the future remains accessible as an open horizon only insofar as the past functions as a living, revisable ground of meaning,rather than as inert tradition or nostalgic refuge. The analysis further examines how contemporary technoscientific forms of anticipation, while indispensable for understanding large-scale phenomena, risk transforming futurity into a preformatted and governable object, thereby foreclosing the very openness they seek to secure. In dialogue with Levinas’s ethics of responsibility and Waldenfels’s phenomenology of responsiveness, the paper concludes that phenomenology ‘saves’ the future not by stabilizing or predicting it, but by preserving the conditions of transmission, reactivation, and response through which temporal meaning remains generative. Utopia, dystopia, and retrotopia are thus reframed as derivative temporal operators that emerge when the balance between inheritance and anticipation is compromised.
