Description
This book explores the meanings, significances, and impacts of the complex identities that soccer fans, especially those of men''s soccer, represent worldwide. The chapters in this volume construct and reconstruct fandom in terms of diverse fan affiliations from local to global level, and from national to transnational spaces.Soccer or (association) football is a game where fans come alive with one goal. It is soccers fanbase that has made it the most popular mass spectator sport in the world. Since the sports growth and its codification in the late nineteenth century, soccer and its followers became markers of varied identities. This volume is an attempt to understand the soccer fans tryst with such identities, mostly at the level of professional mens football in different parts of the world. Fans create, represent, break, recreate, transcend, complicate and confuse diverse identities in their attachments with and loyalties to particular clubs, nations, continents, spaces, communities, races, ethnicities, and players. These identities are given shape through the display and observance of diverse forms of fandom and fan subcultures. Against this wider backdrop, the book brings out the commonalities, conflicts and tensions within these fan identities.Why Fans Matter? Fans and Identities in the Soccer World will be a fascinating read for anybody with an interest in sport and its intersection with disciplines such as sociology, political science, history, media studies, or cultural studies.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society.
