Kinesiology<br>Ph.D.<br>The purpose of this research study was to provide a rich and thick description of what it means to be a NASCAR (National Association of Stock Car Racing) fan. Specifically, the researcher examined how NASCAR fans create their sport fan identity, how being a NASCAR fan influences their overall identity, and the social and cultural aspects associated with being a NASCAR fan. The participants consisted of 12 (10 male & 2 female) self-identified NASCAR fans in attendance at one of three races (Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL; Samsung/Radio

Almost universally, this research focuses on self-identified fans. However, scholars are beginning to examine and debate what the limits of the field should be. This study argues that self-identified fans are not the only group that ought to be examined under the heading of fan studies.

Abstract:
This study examines football fan identity and identification within the Nationwide football league in England. A preliminary examination of the literature concludes that research on fan identity with sports teams in general, focuses primarily upon the behavioural consequences of fan identification. More specific research on the football fan concentrates predominantly upon either the F.A. Premier League or the deviant fan. The research thus attempts to fill a void in knowledge by examining football fan identification of fans of less successful football teams, using a social identity theory fram

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to the existing literature in fan and audience research, particularly within television studies. By focusing upon issues of identity, ontological security, and cultural value, this thesis proposes a conceptualisation of fandom which accounts for inherent dualisms such as the tension between community and hierarchy, and the internal importance of fandom to individuals and the impact of external social factors. Whist prior work has failed to adequately theorise such contradictions, this thesis draws on the work of sociologists Pierre Bourdieu and Anthony Giddens to propos

Abstract:
Syftet med arbetet har varit att undersöka på vilket sätt historia brukas och förmedlas inom svensk samtida hiphop och till vilka syften och funktion. Utifrån tre olika metoder för textanalys och vidare med historiedidaktiska teorier har jag genomfört en litteraturanalys av åtta stycken låttexter från välkända artister på den svenska scenen. Min teoretiska utgångspunkt för arbetet har jag i Peter Aronssons påstående att ”någon berättar något för någon annan av en anledning”. Hiphopens grund ligger i berättelsen och har en tradition av att behandla politiska frågor. Historia av olika slag blir

Ce travail présente la manière dont William Faulkner réfléchit la fonction identitaire de la narration dans plusieurs de ses romans : The Sound and the Fury, As I lay Dying, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom! et Requiem for a Nun. L’appartenance des personnages du corpus au Sud des États-Unis exacerbe leur faille constitutive, qu’ils cherchent alors à compenser par la médiation du récit. Cette thèse étudie, à travers le prisme de la théorie de la mimèsis de Paul Ricœur, comment ces personnages configurent leur temps vécu et se projettent mimétiquement dans leur récit afin de procéder à une her

Abstract:
Beginning in the late eighth century A.D., the Vikings of Scandinavia expanded westward, first to raid and later to settle and trade. By the 11th century, they inhabited territory extending into the North Atlantic, including the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland. These settlements were by no means monocultural and were located hundreds of miles away from the population centres of medieval Europe. In time, this distance and the relative isolation of the region contributed to the development of new cultural identities of the inhabitants. Unfortunately, the Middle Ages have not received as mu

Abstract:
This research recommends a new approach to brand strategy for Korean professional football teams, focusing on the relationships between team brand identity as the basic element of sports team branding, team brand loyalty as the most desirable goal, and identification between fans and teams as the mediator between identity and loyalty. Nowadays, professional football teams are no longer merely sporting organisations, but organisational brands with multi-million pound revenues. It is vital for football teams to build a relevant brand strategy based on the relationship with their fans. Existing r

Abstract:
Ce mémoire s’intéresse aux fans d’un phénomène encore mal connu au Québec. En effet, la vague coréenne surnommée le hallyu a atteint — notamment à travers la K-pop — un public féminin au sein du Québec, sans que nous en connaissions les tenants et les aboutissants. Cette recherche s’articule autour du souhait d’obtenir une meilleure compréhension de l’intérêt que portent les admiratrices québécoises envers la culture musicale coréenne et souhaite comprendre les conséquences de cette passion sur leurs quotidiens. Ainsi, on découvre que l’appréciation de la musique coréenne engendre celle de l
