This paper starts from the recognition that the media plays an important role in the context of dual career (DC) and seeks to establish the starting points and foundations for further research through a scoping review of the existing academic literature dealing with the relationship between DC and the media. 14 scholarly articles are analysed in more detail and classified into three basic groups according to their main focus: (1) media representations, (2) media consumption, and (3) social media. The analysis of the articles in the first group problematizes one-sided media coverage that emphasizes the sports context but neglects all others, and draws attention to comprehensive and multi-layered media representations. The media consumption group highlights specific media functions that are useful at the level of understanding and decision-making regarding the promotion of DC. The articles in the third group highlight the mechanisms and techniques of effective communication in social media, taking into account the aspect of content co-creation and interactivity. The overview can be seen as a foundation from which we can draw in further efforts to raise awareness of the concept of DC through the media, just as it can serve as a base from which we can continue to think about the connection between DC and the media and the useful potentials that the media can offer to DC.

Focusing on the steps that literally and metaphorically guide us today, this paper takes walking as its main subject and establishes it theoretically as a form of subversive bodily movement. If contemporary sociological and humanistic treatments of walking show that this everyday practice has not been completely overlooked, the gap opens at the level of thinking it in relation to the dominant social order and its spatial and temporal manifestations. As we argue, in the hegemonic neoliberal context, walking has the potential to manifest itself as a practice that breaks with the existing logic of both space and time. Through the methodological application of the cat’s cradle game, we develop a theoretical argumentation to ground walking as a bodily practice that requires different space and different time. Emanating from the body, it opens to the space and time of enjoyment – a heterotopia erected in relation to the current neoliberal hegemony, but in the manner of a crack, a path that carries the projection of a possible alternative.
