Matthew Guschwan

Football Fandom in Italy and Beyond (eBook, PDF)

Community through Media and Performance

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Football fans are passionate and devoted followers. They are also creators and dissenters, performers and producers. This volume analyses football fandom through the media that fans use to construct fandom itself. The Italian football stadium has a particularly rich history as a place of collective celebration, mourning, support and political dissent. This volume addresses the beauty and humour as well as the fear and anger that are conveyed in the spectrum of media as fans attempt to assert themselves as material and spiritual 'owners' of the club of their affection. This book was originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society.
