Football Fans, Activism and Social Change

2017 | Philosophy, Psychology & Social Sciences

This book explores the activism of football fans and its impact on contemporary football culture in England, Italy, and the Czech Republic. It focuses on three main themes: the reaction of fans to security measures, the critical engagement of fans with socio-cultural aspects of football games and activism related to football governance. The book will have theoretical implications, not only for studies of football or sport but also for understanding the impact of social movements and activism more broadly in other social spheres. In this regard, it will provide a theoretical perspective on understanding issues of sport consumerism, urban planning, environmental issues, and health.
