Football is ubiquitous and a permanent fixture of modern life. More
than a sport, it frequently manifests in broader popular culture. This
book examines the significance of football for, and in, popular
culture across a wide range of forms, including music, film, and
social media. Football and Popular Culture plots a new path in
Football Studies, drawing on original research in countries including
England, Brazil, Germany, Canada, and Yugoslavia. The book includes
both historical and contemporary perspectives, exploring some of the
most important themes in the study of sport and culture, including
identity, nationalism, fandom, and protest. It presents diverse case
studies ranging from sonic violence among Brazilian torcidas
organizadas to fanled commemoration of the Munich air disaster, which
together help us to better understand the intersection of sport,
society, and popular culture. This is fascinating reading for any
student or researcher working in sport studies, cultural studies,
media studies, sociology, or contemporary history.
