As the 1994 World Cup Finals in the United States clearly
demonstrated, football is the quintessential global game. One of
the world's most popular arenas for the expression of conflict and
emotion, it is virtually unparalleled as a site for cultural
analysis. Players, officials, supporters and commentators all have
key roles in a social drama incorporating the deeply symbolic and
ritualistic. A powerful vehicle for ideals of masculinity, football
also offers penetrating insights into the iconography of the body;
manifestations of rivalry and conflict; discourses of knowledge;
expressions of communitas and geo-social belonging; the celebration
and denigration of the Other; and the inversion of power
hierarchies through carnival.In bringing these themes together,
this accessible and absorbing book by leading scholars of sport and
leisure reveals football's differing meanings across cultures. It
will be of interest to students and scholars in cultural studies,
anthropology, sports sciences and, more simply, to anyone with a
passion for this global game.
