Infos

Doing Fandom presents a body of knowledge essential to football fandom research, and the study of gender, space, emotions and culture more generally. 

The analytical framework follows the theory of practice, drawing on three acclaimed sociological concepts to expand current scholarship on fandom: habitus, doing gender, and claiming the right to space. 

The authors apply these perspectives to interrogate the development,  performative and experiential aspects of fandom, and inform analysis of fans' social and political activism beyond the stadium. 

Drawing on several case studies conducted among fans in the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, the anthology provides substantial insight into the construction of fandom, and will be invaluable for students and scholars across sociology, anthropology of sport, and cultural studies.

Tamar Rapoport is Professor Emerita of Cultural and Educational Sociology at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.
