Football has emerged as an important symbolic field through which
various social, cultural, political, economic, and historical
dimensions and antagonisms are negotiated. This volume covers a
variety of themes illuminating the multiple ways that football
impacts on people's everyday lives. Using anthropological research
methods and data collected from ethnographic fieldwork, the
contributors scrutinize not only the social fields of football fans
and the specific socio-cultural contexts in which they are
embedded, but also other actors beyond the pitch, and the
possibilities for both agency and subversion. Taking into account
processes of Europeanization, globalization, commercialization and
migration, the collection offers fresh insights into fan identity
formations and practices and highlights the importance of
anthropology's self-reflexive and actor-centred perspective.
This book studies how transnationalisation, Europeanisation and
migration processes intersect with football fandom, through an
analysis of the transnational narratives and practices of
Fenerbahce and Galatasaray football fans in Vienna, Austria. Based
on ethnographic fieldwork in Austria, Turkey and Germany, the
author analyses the ways in which narratives about football fandom
are often linked to migrant experiences, including practices of
(self-)culturalization in the diasporic context in Austria. The
book shows how constructed ethnicities and also masculinities and
femininities meet in football fan performances and in the
construction of what makes a "proper" football fan. Turkish
football fandom is a field where powerful prejudices and
stereotypes amalgamate and interact. This study enables the reader
to look into migration processes and discussions about related
topics from a different angle: the love of a football club.
Football Fandom and Migration will be of interest to students and
scholars across a range of disciplines, including anthropology,
sociology, European studies, political sciences, gender studies,
leisure studies, sport sociology and history.
