In Football and Accelerated Culture, Steve Redhead offers a new and
challenging theorisation of global football culture, exploring the
relationship between sport and culture in a rapidly shifting world.
Incorporating cutting-edge concepts, from accelerated culture and
claustropolitanism to non-postmodernity, he reflects on the demise
of working class football cultures and the rapid media
globalisation of 'the people's game'. Drawing on international
empirical research and a unique and ground-breaking study of
football hooligan memoirs, the book delves into a wide array of
disciplines, examining fascinating topics such as the relationship
between music and football; hooligans and ultras; the rise of
social media and anti-modern football movements; and ultra-realist
criminology. Football and Accelerated Culture offers a new way of
thinking about sporting cultures that expands the boundaries of
physical cultural studies. As such, it is important reading for
anybody with an interest in the culture of sport and leisure,
social theory, communication studies, criminology or socio-legal
studies.
