Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a social history of workplace Australian football between the years 1860 and 1939, charting in detail the evolution of this form of the game as a popular phenomenon, as well as the beginning of its eventual demise with changes in the nature and composition of the workforce. Though it is presented in a largely chronological format, the thesis utilises an approach to history best epitomised in the work of the progenitors of social history, E.P. Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm, and their successors. It embraces and contributes to both labour and sport history-two sub-groups of social history that are not often considered together. A number of themes, such as social control and the links between class and culture, are employed to throw light on this form of football; in turn, the analysis of the game presented here illuminates patterns of development in the culture of working people in Victoria and beyond. The thesis also provides new insights into under-re searched fields such as industrial recreation and the role of sport in shaping employer-employee relations. In enhancing knowledge of the history of grass roots Australian football and demonstrating the workplace game's links with the growth of unionism and expansion of industry, the thesis therefore highlights the complexity and interconnectedness of economic development, class relations and popular culture in constructing social history.

Melling, Alethea Elisabeth Anne. "'Ladies' football' : gender and the socialisation of women football players in Lancashire, c.1916-1960." Thesis, University of Central Lancashire, 1999. http://clok.uclan.ac.uk/21909/.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to examine the significance of, to use their own term, ladies' football in the context of shifting social values with regard to gender roles and the socialisation of working - class women c. 1916 - 1960. The thesis will focus on ladies' football in Lancashire and surrounding districts from the end of the First World War, to the beginnings of the second wave of feminism, which marked the end of an era for the sport. Firstly, it is important to explain the use of the term ladies' rather than women's football. The term ladies' football was imposed by the patriarchal structures from which it developed in order to feminise the game and distinguish it from male football. This was consented to by the players who did not wish to be considered 'mannish'. The term lasted until the 1960's, when women began to take control of their own game. The term 'girls' is my own term and is used to describe the age group of the majority of the players. This must not be confused with the terms girlish' or girly', which are often used in a derogatory manner to undermine women's sports. Ladies' football developed out of the circumstances of the First World War. As a result of the war women were thrown into male spheres in the home, work place and sports field. Munitions girls were encouraged play football and take part in athletic competitions as a morale boosting exercise to raise money for war related charities. This behaviour, although contrary to traditional gender roles, was approved by the establishment as part of the 'plucky heroine' ideology of munitions work. However, this was only a temporary sanctioning and in the drive to return to pre - war social forms, football was amongst the many male spheres women were expected to relinquish. However, despite ideological and legislative pressure, the sport continued as a subculture throughout the 1920's, 1930's and the period after the Second World War until the early 1960's, when it was eftectively reorganised into its present format. Despite its early success, ladies' football has received limited attention from academics. The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the significance of ladies' football in terms of gender roles and the socialisation of working - class women in Lancashire. The thesis will address five salient themes starting with the development of the sport in munitions factories during the First World War. It will go on to explore the sporting 'entente cordiale' that developed as a result of international ladies' football matches arranged between Britain and France immediately after the war. Furthermore, the study will address how the popularity of such teams as Dick, Kerr's Ladies inspired women and girls from mining communities in the north - west and north - east to form their own teams for the duration of the 1921 Miners' lock - Out, in order to raise money to fund the pea - soup' kitchens that fed the miners' children. In 1921, the Football Association banned ladies' football from being played on its grounds, with devastating consequences for the game. The thesis looks closely at the social and political context of this decision and the pro - natalist ideology that governed attitudes towards women's sport until the 1960's. Ladies' football became a very important part of popular culture during and immediately after the the First World War and in the opinion of certain writers, the struggle with the Football Association represented women's struggles to maintain the social and economic advantages they had gained in other spheres. From 1921 - 1925, the 'football heroine' became a significant feature in popular sporting fiction for working - class girls. The thesis looks at the intent of this fiction, and evaluates its didactic role in informing young women about the importance of keeping hold of the rights and freedoms they had gained during the war. Finally, the study will conclude by asking the question: to what extent was ladies' football a victim of its own early success? By examining these salient themes, this thesis challenges notion that ladies' football was insignificant and explores a whole new area of hitherto unanswered questions with regard to working - class women's physical culture.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to be the first systematic study of the political instrumentalization of football in Francoist Spain from 1939 to 1975. Seven separate and contrasting aspects of this political instrumentalization may be isolated, and, accordingly, this thesis will consist of a chapter examining each one of these seven aspects in turn. After a first introductory chapter, Chapter Two will examine the application of Fascist concepts to Spanish football. In the third chapter, the questions of whether and to what extent football was used by the Franco regime as a political soporific will be discussed. The theme of Chapter Four is the lack of democracy within the structures of the game, a situation that is alleged to have been deliberately imposed by the regime in order to not create an uncomfortable comparison for itself with the lack of national and local political democracy. The poor working conditions of the footballers, which mirrored those of the great majority of Spanish workers during the Franco period, are the subject of Chapter Five. In the sixth Chapter, the political significance of the presence in Francoist Spain of a group of refugee players and coaches from Europe will be examined. The diplomatic and ambassadorial significance of football, in particular of the spectacular international triumphs of the Real Madrid club, will be discussed in Chapter Seven. The political significance of football as a focus for Basque and Catalan nationalist sentiment, in opposition to the centralist Madrid regime, is the subject of Chapter Eight.

Areia, Carlos Morgado. "Neuromuscular adaptations in football athletes with prior history of hamstring strain injury." Master's thesis, Universidade de Aveiro, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10773/15791.
Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Fisioterapia<br>Background: Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are one of the most common injuries in a wide variety of running-sports, resulting in a considerable loss of competition and training time. One of the most problematic consequences regarding HSI is the recurrence rate and its non-decrease over the past decades, despite increasing evidence. Recent studies also found several maladaptations post-HSI probably due to neuromuscular inhibition and it has been proposed that these adaptations post-injury may contribute as risk factors for the injury-reinjury cycle and high recurrence rates. Furthermore it has been recently proposed not to disregard the inter-relationship between these adaptations and risk-factors post-injury in order to better understand the mechanisms of this complex injury.
Objective: To determine, analyze and correlate neuromuscular adaptations in amateur football players with prior history of HSI per comparison to uninjured athletes in similar conditions.
Methodology: Every participant was subjected to isokinetic concentric (60 and 240deg.sec) and eccentric (30 and 120deg.sec¯¹) testing, and peak torque, angle of peak torque and hamstrings to quadriceps (H:Q) conventional ratios were measured, myoelectrical activity of Bicep Femoris (BF) and Medial Hamstrings (MH) were also measured during isokinetic eccentric testing at both velocities and muscle activation percentages were calculated at 30, 50 and 100ms after onset of contraction. Furthermore active and passive knee extension, knee joint position sense (JPS) test, triple-hop distance (THD) test and core stability (flexors and extensors endurance, right and left side bridge test) were used and correlated.
Results: Seventeen players have participated in this study: 10 athletes with prior history of HSI, composing the Hamstring injury group (HG) and 7 athletes without prior severe injuries as control group (CG). We found statistical significant differences between HG injured and uninjured sides in the BF myoelectrical activity at almost all times in both velocities and between HG injured and CG non-dominant sides at 100ms in eccentric 120deg.sec¯¹ velocity (p<.05). We found no differences in MH activity. Regarding proprioception we found differences between the HG injured and uninjured sides (p=.027). We found no differences in the rest of used tests. However, significant correlation between myoelectrical activation at 100ms in 120deg.sec¯¹ testing and JPS with initial position at 90º (r-.372; p=0.031) was found, as well as between isokinetic H:Q ratio at 240deg.sec and THD score (r=-.345; p=.045).
Conclusion: We found significant differences that support previous research regarding neuromuscular adaptations and BF inhibition post-HSI. Moreover, to our knowledge, this was the first study that found correlation between these adaptations, and may open a door to new perspectives and future studies.<br>Enquadramento: As lesões dos isquiotibiais são bastante comuns numa grande variedade de desportos que envolvem corrida, resultando num grande período de abstinência desportiva e competitiva. Uma das consequências mais problemáticas desta lesão é a sua alta taxa de recorrência que, embora tenha sido alvo de bastantes estudos, não tem diminuído nas últimas décadas. Estudos recentes encontraram também várias maladaptações em atletas com história desta lesão, provavelmente devido a inibição neuromuscular, sendo proposto que estas adaptações pós-lesão possam contribuir como factores de risco no ciclo de lesão-recorrência, e para a elevada taxa desta. Pelo que recentemente estudos sugerem considerar a interacção destas adaptações e factores de risco, de modo a aprofundar o nosso conhecimento dos mecanismos desta complexa lesão.
Objectivo: Determinar, analisar e correlacionar adaptações neuromusculares em futebolistas amadores com história de lesão dos isquiotibiais em comparação com atletas sem história de lesões, em condições semelhantes.
Metodologia: Todos os participantes foram sujeitos a testes isocinéticos em modo concêntrico (60 e 240º.sec) e excêntricos (30 e 120º.seg¯¹) em ambos os membros, com análise do pico de torque, ângulo de pico de torque e rácio convencional isquiotibial:quadriceps (H:Q), também foi medida a actividade mioeléctrica do Bicípite Femoral (BF) e dos isquiotibiais mediais (MH) durante a avaliação isocinética excêntrica em ambas as velocidades e a percentagem de activação muscular foi calculada a 30, 50 e 100ms após início da contracção. Além destes, foram medidos e correlacionados os testes de extensão do joelho activa e passiva, teste de sensação de posição do joelho (JPS), triple-hop distance (THD) e testes de estabilidade do core (endurance dos flexores e extensores, side bridge para o lado direito e esquerdo).
Resultados: Dezassete jogadores participaram neste estudo: 10 atletas com história de lesão dos isquiotibiais (HG) e 7 atletas sem história de lesões graves (CG). Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre o lado lesado e não lesado do HG na actividade mioeléctrica do BF em quase todos os tempos em ambas as velocidades, e entre o lado lesado do HG e lado não dominante do CG aos 100ms durante o teste excêntrico á velocidade de 120º.seg¯¹ (p<.05). Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas na actividade dos MH. Quanto ao teste proprioceptivo foram encontradas diferenças no HG entre o membro lesado e não lesado no JPS quando a posição inicial era a extensão completa do joelho (p=.027). Não foram encontradas alterações nos outros testes. No entanto houve correlação significativa entre a actividade mioeléctrica do BF aos 100ms a 120º.seg¯¹ e os resultados do JPS com a 90º de flexão do joelho (r-.372; p=0.031) como posição inicial, assim como entre o rácio H:Q no teste isocinético concêntrico a 240graus.sec e o score to THD (r=-345.; p=.045).
Conclusão: Neste estudo foram encontradas diferenças significativas que suporta literatura anterior no que toda a existência de adaptações neuromusculares e inibição do BF após lesão dos isquiotibiais. Além disso, no nosso conhecimento, este foi o primeiro estudo a encontrar correlação significativa entre estas adaptações, pelo que pode abrir uma porta a novas perspectivas e estudos futuros.

Kelly, Stephen. "An oral history of footballing communities at Liverpool and Manchester United Football Clubs." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2009. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/7060/.
Full textAbstract:
My three cited studies, The Kop, Red Voices and The Boot Room Boys, focus on two English football clubs, Liverpool and Manchester United and some of the footballing communities within these clubs. All three books use oral history as means of detailing various aspects for historical study. The clubs have been deliberately chosen because they rank as the most successful and best supported clubs in English football. Red Voices is an oral history of fans at Manchester United and as such is a wider examination of the social history of the club’s fans and the culture of fandom at Old Trafford since the 1930s. The two other books are about Liverpool Football Club and focus on different communities. The Kop focuses on a particular area of the ground known as the Spion Kop, where the most fervent of Liverpool fans used to stand but now sit. The other book, The Boot Room Boys, focuses on a community that is centred on the club’s coaching staff who took up residence in the club’s boot room beneath the Main stand. This room took on mythical proportions during the 1960s, 70s and 80s when the club’s successes seemed to have emanated from the discussions, tactics and approach of its occupants. Across these three publications interviews have been conducted with more than 250 people ranging from ordinary fans to owners, directors, players, administrators and managers. By drawing on this wide range of personal experiences, many going back to before the Second World War, it is possible to gauge the importance of the various communities to the footballing map and to ascertain the various changes that have taken place in the culture of football. Backed by extensive research, the reader is able to reconsider the history of football spectatorship in the twentieth century through the experiences of pre-generational fans. My findings suggest that spectatorship divides into three distinct: the pre-1960s; the period 1962 to 1989; and the post Hillsborough period, 1989 to the present. The interviews detail the social, ethnic and gender makeup of spectators throughout the years and also reveal important findings on rites of passage and the role played by fathers and elder siblings in the initiation of younger people into spectatorship. Ritual also emerges as a crucial element in spectatorship. In the case of Liverpool Football Club the interviews suggest that being a ‘Kopite’ is a crucial statement in terms of social identity. Anfield, the home of Liverpool is also identified as the focal point for the emergence of chanting and singing by fans on the terraces in the 1960s. Fashion at Liverpool and hooliganism at Manchester United are shown to have been important in the later period identified as ‘fanatical fandom’. And finally there is evidence from the interviews to suggest that significant cultural changes in fandom have taken place with the introduction of all-seater stadia. Not only does this testimony highlight the social history of spectatorship but it also encourages a new perspective, based on the individual experience which can also include emotional responses to spectatorship. In doing so this has had the effect of fleshing out the history of football, enabling it to break free from the traditional perspective of events on the pitch towards the inter-relationship between sport and everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
Dès 1890, les footballeurs français de haut niveau ont suscité l’intérêt de publics toujours plus nombreux. Mais s’ils ont été les premiers à attirer l'attention de l'opinion, il s'avère que les entraîneurs, qui sont demeurés longtemps méconnus, ont joué un rôle primordial dans l'évolution et les progrès du football français. A partir des années 1920, ils investissent le champ du ballon rond et tentent d'imposer leur vision de la pratique et de l'entraînement. Mais ils se heurtent à divers obstacles qui entraveront leur influence durant des décennies. L'ensemble des entraîneurs professionnels ne se constitue en véritable profession qu'à partir des années 1950, en s'appuyant sur une « Amicale », une organisation déterminante dans la structuration de leur identité, ainsi que sur une formation performante. Les entraîneurs deviennent plus visibles aux yeux du grand public depuis les années 1980. Mais en fait cette exposition médiatique est à double tranchant : si elle permet de souligner leur rôle dans les progrès du football français, elle met davantage encore en péril une stabilité professionnelle qui leur a toujours été contestée. L'histoire de la profession des entraîneurs s'organise autour de l'action d'individualités déterminantes comme Gabriel Hanot ou Georges Boulogne, mais également d'actions collectives souvent initiées par leur syndicat, mais aussi par leur hiérarchie représentée par la Direction Technique Nationale. Ces hommes et ces organisations ont pris conscience que l'action des entraîneurs ne se limite pas au terrain, ni à l'entraînement et à la compétition et que leur profession présente de nombreuses caractéristiques du travail des cadres<br>Since 1890, élite French footballers have become the centre of interest for an ever increasing number of people. But although players were the first to attract attention, it is taken for granted that coaches played the most prominent role in the evolution and improvement of French soccer. However, they remained largely unknown for many years. As early as the 1920s, they invested the area of French soccer and tried to teach their own perception of how to train for an play the game. But they faced some difficulties, which would slow their influence for several decades. Coaching did not become a real occupation till the 1950s, when they created an organization called “Amicale”, which played a decisive part in establishing their own identity as well as creating an efficient academy process. Coaches have become better known by the general public since the 1980s, but this new media coverage is a two-edged sword: on the one hand, it gives them credit for their action in improving French football, but on the other hand it threatens more and more their professional stability, which they have always been denied. The history of professional coaching suggests we take a look at the action of decisive individuals like Gabriel Hanot or Georges Boulogne, but also at collective actions which were often driven by their own union, or by their hierarchy through the D.T.N. (National Technical Direction). These men and organizations have become aware of the fact that coaching does not amount to the practice pitch alone, nor to training and competition, and that their occupation shows many similarities to managerial work

Full textAbstract:
Libéré de l'occupation Ottomane en fin de première Guerre Mondiale et placé sous mandat français jusqu'à son indépendance en 1943, le Liban va réussir à trouver une stabilité sécuritaire et économique jusqu'en 1975. En effet le 13 avril 1975, le Liban entre dans une longue période de guerre civile durant laquelle la capitale Beyrouth est divisée en deux parties : Beyrouth Est pour les Chrétiens et Beyrouth Ouest pour les Musulmans. L'Accord du Taëf signé en 1990 va mettre fin à cette guerre civile et place le pays sous une tutelle syrienne qui va durer jusqu'à l'assassinat de l'ancien premier ministre Rafic Hariri en 2005. Au moment où l'emplacement géographique du Liban, qui le place au centre du conflit arabo-israélien, vient s'ajouter aux différences inter/intra-communautaires, nous nous demandons dans quelle mesure le développement et l'extension du football, modeste élément de cette grande histoire, en subissent les effets. Nous nous interrogeons plus précisément, comment ce sport s'est-il développé au Liban, quelles institutions ont été impliquées et la spécificité de la situation libanaise autorise-t-elle d'éventuelles comparaisons avec le développement du football ailleurs dans le monde ? Cette thèse, appuyée sur les archives locales, la presse spécialisée et divers entretiens avec des dirigeants et des joueurs libanais, tente de répondre à ces questions en montrant comment, en premier temps, le football va passer d'un sport universitaire à un sport populaire, puis en traçant l'histoire de l'institutionnalisation du football en 1933 et des années de gloire jusqu'à l'éclatement de la guerre civile en 1975. Et en montrant en dernier lieu comment la période de la guerre civile s'inscrit en réalité dans un temps long qui voit le confessionnalisme, c'est-à-dire le partage des pouvoirs en fonction de la communauté confessionnelle, s'imposer au Liban dans tous les secteurs de la société et en montrant comment le Liban va continuer à subir les conséquences de cette guerre<br>After being liberated from the Ottoman occupation in the end of the First World War and placed under the French mandate until its independence in 1943, Lebanon succeeded to maintain a certain stability on both economic and security levels until the outbreak of the civil war in 1975, and more specifically on April 13 of this year, when Beirut was divided into two clans: the Eastern clan inhabited by Christians and the Western clan inhabited by Muslims. The Taif Agreement (officially, the Document of National Accord) was the document that provided the basis for the ending of the civil war and agreed on the Syrian trusteeship that will last until the assassination of the Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in 2005. Since Lebanon’s geographical location inserts him in the heart of the Israeli Arab conflict and comes along with the inter and intra community differences, we wonder to what extent the development and the expansion of the football, a humble element in this large History, would undergo the effects. We wonder how has this sport developed in Lebanon, which institutions were involved? Does the situation in Lebanon allow such comparisons with the development of football elsewhere in the world? This paper tries to answer these questions thanks to local archives, specialized press and various interviews with Lebanese sport leaders and players. It shows in first place how the football has moved from being a university sport to a popular one, it traces in the second place the history of the football institutionalization in 1993 and during the years of glory until the outbreak of the civil war in 1975. It also shows that the civil war was rooted in reality in a long-term period during which confessionalism, i.e. the share of power based on the belonging to a religion, became the rule in most sectors of the Lebanese society

Full textAbstract:
This thesis identifies, examines and probes the nature of womens involvement in Australian Rules Football. Rather than have a single theoretical underpinning, an interdisciplinary approach, albeit with a feminist perspective, was applied because of the broad scope of the study. Australian Rules Football is an institution that can transcend class, race, and gender. It is also a multi-billion dollar industry. The game traces its origins back to 1858 and claims influences from rugby and an Aboriginal game called marn-grook. While it is played mainly by men, exclusively at league level, interest and involvement is not limited by gender.
Academics and administrators have frequently written off womens involvement with football. Even though scholarly interest in both sport and feminism has grown since the 1970s, little significant work has been undertaken to examine womens interaction with Australian Rules Football. Leading Australian feminist Anne Summers rejected the notion that women could find anything of value in football apart from following players as devoted wives, mothers, girlfriends or groupies. Through investigation of monographs and edited collections, I reveal that myriad scholars, feminists and historians have missed the point of sporting scholarship: many women enjoy involvement with football, they understand the game and its strategies and value being part of the football community in diverse and evolving capacities.
The original contribution to knowledge in this doctorate is to demonstrate that while women have had a central role in the development and maintenance of Australian Rules Football since the game was founded in colonial times, their contribution has gone unacknowledged by historians and administrators. My thesis places on record those omissions. Particularly, I highlight the lack of acknowledgement and respect for the work of a woman who authored a comprehensive and seminal social history written on the game. This is the archetypal example of how women, in many roles both professional and personal have been marginalized, despite playing pivotal roles with Australian Rules Football. The original contribution contained in these pages tracks Australian gender relations through the social institution of Australian Rules Football. To create both space and strategies for the revaluation of women in football history, a new model of female fandom is offered. The testimony of the women included is weighty in numbers and pithy in content. The scale of interviews represents diversity in age, class, ethnicity, regionality and role or function with football. Superficially it may appear that women can be placed in taxonomy. Womens involvement with Australian Rules Football is complex and their involvement enmeshes in the many facets and spheres of the game.
The completion of this thesis follows the long overdue appointment of the A.F.L.s first female commissioner, Samantha Mostyn, in June 2005. Without disrespecting Mostyn, this was a tokenistic cultural shift by adding a commissioner to the existing eight males with the goal of adding further business expertise, not a new insight or strategic cultural intervention. It also comes at a time when the Australian Football Leagues has a new challenge to address, with the growing interest and participation in Association Football in Australia after the qualification for the 2006 World Cup. At this moment of change and contestation, Womens Australian Rules competitions are impoverished through lack of structural and financial support while womens Association Football, both in Australia and internationally, is flourishing.

Thesis (MA)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This is a historiographical study of popular rugby history covering the years 1948 to 1995.
The aim of this study is to show how this sport is portrayed in popular history writing. This
research will focus on the two forms of popular history during this time, namely general
rugby history books and biographical works. In order to fulfil its goals, this thesis will
identify tendencies and thematology in popular rugby history, as well as explore its
development over the years. This work lies on the edge between a study of history and that of
literature. By studying the content and literary aspects of the popular works, light will be shed
on its ever changing tendencies and thematology. Throughout this thesis, there will be
constant use of quotations in order to explain the development of popular rugby
historiography over time. By exploring the aforementioned complexities, this study aims to
make a contribution to the developing domain of South African sports history.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is ’n historiografiese studie van populêre rugby geskiedskrywing, en dek die
jare 1948 tot 1995. Die doel is om te dui op hoe dié sport in populêre skrywes uitgebeeld is.
Die fokus gaan val op die twee vorme van populêre geskiedskrywing in hierdie tydperk,
naamlik algemene rugbygeskiedenisboeke en biografiese werke. Die manier hoe hierdie
verhandeling te werk gaan, is om tendense en tematologie in hierdie werke te identifiseer en
die verandering daarvan oor die jare, na te volg. Hierdie werk lê op die breekvlak tussen ’n
studie van die geskiedenis en die letterkunde. Deur die gewilde rugby skrywes inhoudelik en
letterkundig in fyn detail te bestudeer, gaan lig op die veranderende tendense en tematologie
gewerp word. Aanhalings word deurgans ingesluit en bespreek om die ontwikkeling van die
populêre rugby geskiedskrywing oor die jare te verduidelik. Deur op hierdie kompleksiteite
klem te lê, poog die studie om ’n bydrae te lewer tot die steeds ontwikkelende veld van Suid-
Afrikaanse sportgeskiedenis.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the role of class, regional, commercial and other social and economic factors in the origins and growth of Rugby football in Yorkshire and Lancashire during the period 1857 to 1910, focusing on the formation of the Northern Rugby Football Union (later to become the Rugby Football League) in 1895 and its subsequent development into a "new" sport of rugby league. Its main sources are documents of clubs and leading bodies of the sport and the sporting press of the period. Starting from an analysis of the spread of rugby from the public schools to the north of England, it links the rapid growth of the sport in the 1870s and 1880s to the sense of civic pride which prevailed among the industrial towns of the North and Midlands. In particular, it examines the means by which working class men and women became involved in the sport and looks at the nature and activities of rugby players and spectators. Its key focus is on the ways in which working class cultural practices became part of the fabric of the sport and the counter-development of the ideology of amateurism as a method of suppressing this, culminating in the Rugby Football Union's introduction of its first set of regulations intended to stamp out incipient professionalism, which were supported by both the northern and southern leaderships of the sport. It argues that the demands of working class players for payment and the growing commercialism of the sport in the North undermined amateurism and made its implementation, despite the vigorous efforts of its partisans, impossible. The breakdown in the consensus among rugby's leaders about how to deal with mass working class participation led directly to the 1895 split and the formation of the Northern Rugby Football Union, based on the payment of "broken-time" allowances to players. However, despite its initial successes, the Northern Union was marginalised by a combination of national and class-based forces, and, by the turn of the century, rendered impotent when face by the overwhelming popularity of soccer in the early 1900s. The necessity of establishing its own identity and holding back the soccer threat saw the Northern Union move away from being merely a professional version of rugby union and initiate the rule changes which created a new sport, expand to other countries and develop a distinct ideology. This allowed the sport to become almost exclusively identified with the working classes and opened the door to the predominance of working class cultural norms, both on the field and in the crowds which watched the game. Although class is viewed as the motor force which ultimately drove rugby to schism, the role of civic pride, of both the working and middle classes, the relationship between rugby and masculinity, links between sport and nationalism, the north-south divide in English society. and the rise of commercialism in the form of the "entertainment industry" are also examined in the changing contexts of the period for the impact they had on the sport and for their importance to its eventual schism.

Full textAbstract:
In 2011, both Major League Baseball (MLB) and the National Football League (NFL) saw the expiration of their collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) between the players’ unions and owners. Without an agreement in place, the two leagues would have been unable to play the next season. The CBAs established basic contract provisions, pensions and other benefits for players, and, most importantly, granted players the right to move between teams at their own discretion and outlined the manner in which they could do so. This process of changing teams was known as free agency.

Full textAbstract:
The codification of the football games played in Australia is a hotly contested stream of sports studies. Whilst it is not clear when, where and why soccer was first played, what is not hotly contested is that from its establishment and until 2003 it was a marginalised game, certainly compared with the mainstream Australian football games (Rugby Union, Australian Rules football and Rugby League). This move to the mainstream commenced with the implementation of Crawford Report (2003). Soccer’s Australian story was thereafter divided into two eras, pre-and post-Crawford (2003). This PhD with publications set out to understand this transformation by accessing the very protagonists who were responsible for it. This included, amongst others, former Prime Minister John Howard, Frank Lowy and David Crawford as well as key funding stakeholders, sport administrators, media and television broadcast partners. The data generated from interviews with this purposive sample of powerful people was coded and analysed using thematic analysis as outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006). From this, Weber’s (1948) legitimacy theoretical framework was applied to understand the phenomenon. This theory posits that legitimacy has three key derivatives (charismatic, traditional, legal/rational). This data addressed the reasons why powerful people legitimised soccer whilst also providing the lens to better understand soccer’s place in Australia. From this thesis, six peer reviewed publications emerged in multi-disciplinary outlets, explaining the status and legitimisation of Australian soccer. These include a historiography of the literature that has thus far explained the sport, an historical paper which challenges the notion of ethnicity as being soccer’s key pivot, as well as a comparative papers that reinforce the legitimisation processes in different countries (China and the USA) and as they relate to Australia.

Full textAbstract:
“The Future of Football is Feminine”: A Critical Cultural History of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team,focuses on the historical and cultural construction of the U.S. women’s national soccer team. The public and academic discourse that constitutes women’s soccer in the U.S. consistently links the game with the feminist legislation of Title IX, and positions male coaches as benevolent patriarchs who grant young girls and women the right to play. The combination of these two dominant narratives confronts the historical narrative of women’s soccer from an uncritical and celebratory space, which represses and decenters lines of power. I challenge these steadfast discourses by locating this team, and thus, women’s soccer, in the larger cultural frame of neoliberal, postfeminist, post-racial, and sexual politics. Through an examination of U.S. newspapers and magazines, United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) documents, and extensive soccer-specific journals and magazines, I explore the intersection of capitalism, feminism, and racism in women’s professional sport.
This research also examines how the media and other corporations have cultivated the U.S. women’s national team and its individual stars, such as Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, Kristine Lilly, Abby Wambach, and Hope Solo to promote themselves as consumer conduits through which moral and ethical behaviors circulate and influence civil society. Since the mid-1990s, young female soccer players find themselves at an ideological crossroad of individual choice and self-discipline. The soccer field has been promoted as a space of gender and racial inclusion as well as economic and political freedom while subtly reinforcing the exact opposite. Moreover, I examine the historical and ever-shifting landscape of women’s soccer, and how neoliberalism as an economic and cultural theory is central to the use of race, class, gender, and sexual ideologies to develop women’s soccer in the United States.

Full textAbstract:
The primary focus of this thesis is on representations of Germany and Germans in the sports pages of English newspapers from the mid-1950s to the mid-1990s, when EURO 96 generated press coverage that prompted much comment and criticism, both in England and in Germany. Studies focusing on media representations from the mid 1990s onwards, such as those by Maguire, Poulton and Possamai (1999), Garland and Rowe (1999) and Garland (2004) have been helpful in deconstructing the language used by football journalists and in identifying negative national stereotyping. More recently, however, Ramsden (2007) and Young (2007) have developed our understanding of Anglo-German cultural relations and how they have changed since 1945. In the light of these recent developments this thesis seeks, firstly, to analyse the discourses embedded within the ‘Two World Wars and One World Cup’ meta-narrative which has characterized press coverage of Anglo-German football since international fixtures between the two countries were resumed in 1954 and, secondly, to contextualize them in the broader history of Anglo-German cultural relations and how they developed over the forty years or so that followed. Though drawing on some insights from both cultural and media studies the methodology employed is essential historical. This does not mean, however, that press reports and comment are regarded as unproblematic primary sources. Recent methodological approaches the history of sport, notably by Booth (2005) and Hill (2006), have pointed to the importance of viewing such sources as texts which are thus open to deconstruction. A complementary emphasis on historical context is nevertheless justified, principally because it is important to explain variations that have occurred over time. Though there were some similarities in the way that Anglo-German football was covered in 1954 and 1996 – and at various points in between - there are also striking differences which it is argued here are primarily explained by conditions prevailing at the particular historical junctures at which representations were generated. The relationship which existed between Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s was significantly different to that which existed between Britain and re-unified Germany in the 1990s. This was an important contingent factor and helps to explain variations in the deployment of journalistic discourses over the years. Thus this thesis breaks new ground in that it emphasizes the historical contextualization of representations over a long period and seeks to counter any tendency to look backwards from the viewpoint of the mid 1990s. The discussion proceeds chronologically from the 1950s to the 1990s in order to demonstrate variations in the way that discourses were deployed over the years. Thus the representations generated provide a way of reading the state of underlying Anglo-German relations at any given point. One chapter is devoted to the 1966 World Cup Final on account of its significance in press discourses relating to Anglo-German football and in what is popularly referred to in England as the 'thirty/forty years of hurt' that followed. Whereas academic attention in relation to football-related representations has previously concentrated on the downmarket tabloid press, this study is equally concerned with quality and middlemarket titles. Thus The Times and the Daily Express are considered alongside the Daily Mirror and the Sun. Finally – and in contrast to previous accounts which have considered the English press in isolation – a chapter on German newspaper coverage (principally Bild, Die Welt and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) has been included to allow some comparisons to be made and to point to directions in which future research might be pursued.

Full textAbstract:
This is a history of the development of the manager in English football from 1880 until the mid-1960s. It is predicated on two main arguments. First, that football management in England has largely reflected the practical tradition of British management where managers are employed more for their experience than any qualifications that they might hold. Second, that the management of players during this period mirrored prevailing attitudes within society towards the handling of young, working-class men and because they lacked any management training, managers imposed their personality and authority on them. The thesis has a chronological structure. The first chapter provides a broad overview of British management up to 1970. Its aim is to provide an overall context for the rest of the thesis by analysing the history of British management, its culture, and also the role of education. Chapter 2 charts the early development of football management in the years up to 1914. The following chapter examines the emergence of early football managers during the same period. It examines, first, the relationship between a manager and his directors and how this has developed in light of football's commercialisation process; second, how the training and background of managers has reflected trends within British management; and third, the manager's relationship with his workers, the players. This framework will be used throughout the thesis. Chapter 4 is a case study of Herbert Chapman. Chapter 5 deals with the inter-War period and Chapter 6 looks at the emergence of modem football management from 1945 up to the Sixties. Chapter 7 assesses the socio-economic impact of a manager on a team's performance during this period. The conclusion will briefly draw together the main themes and arguments of the thesis.

Esta pesquisa propõe um estudo sobre o fenômeno do racismo e da xenofobia na Europa através de levantamento bibliográfico, fontes diversas e, principalmente, histórias orais de vida de alguns futebolistas brasileiros negros que atuaram no continente europeu a partir da década de 1960. O conjunto de procedimentos adotados é o da história oral, mais especificamente aquele praticado pelo Núcleo de Estudos em História Oral da Universidade de São Paulo. Constituí documentos inéditos, em cujos textos estão expressas as experiências e as memórias da comunidade de destino. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi relacionar o problema da negritude no futebol em vista de um contexto social mais amplo, o qual tem como pano de fundo a globalização e as migrações internacionais.

Na primeira, intitulada de História do projeto, introduzo a pesquisa, apresento os conceitos fundamentais, coloco o tema em perspectiva histórica, justifico a escolha pela história oral, exponho os procedimentos adotados e relato as minhas experiências de entrevista com personalidades futebolísticas. Na segunda, Histórias orais de vida, apresento cinco histórias de vida que abrangem as décadas de 1980 a 2000 e narram as experiências vividas pelos futebolistas nas principais ligas europeias e na vida social nos respectivos países. Na terceira e última parte, Memória coletiva seleciono temas recorrentes nas narrativas, os quais dizem respeito à própria trajetória de vida e profissional, ao movimento migratório e, por fim, ao racismo e à xenofobia. Há um jeito brasileiro de lidar com a questão? Esta é a pergunta que procuro responder nas considerações finais.<br>This research is a study of racism and xenophobia in the European society through literature review, various sources and, primarily, oral life stories from some black Brazilian footballers that played in the European continent from the 1960s onwards.

I have composed unpublished documents in which experiences and memoirs of the destiny community are expressed. The researchs overall objective was to discuss the black footballers issue within a broader social context, having globalisation and international migration as background. The thesis consists of three parts. In the first one, entitled The projects history, I introduce the research, present the core concepts, put the theme in historical perspective, justify my choice for using oral history, explain the methodology and report on my experiences interviewing football personalities. In the second, Oral life stories, I present five life stories spanning from the 1980s to the 2000s and narrate the footballers experiences in the main European leagues and their social lives in their respective countries. In the third and last part, Collective memory, I pick up recurring themes in those narratives, which relate to the footballer\'s life and career, migration, racism and xenophobia. Is there a Brazilian way to deal with the issue? This is the question I try to answer in the final considerations.

Thesis (MSpor)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club is the largest club in the world and the men’s
residence rugby competition is a component of that Club. The purpose of this study
was to document the origin, formation and activities of men’s residence rugby
(koshuisrugby) at Stellenbosch University.
The history of the University, the history of the Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club and a
little of the history of rugby in South Africa, and particularly at Stellenbosch, are given
as background information in the introduction to provide a global view.
The nucleus of this study concerns the development of koshuisrugby at Stellenbosch
University. An attempt has been made to reconstruct all gathered information as
accurately and as thoroughly as possible.
Although there is much popular writing on sport in South Africa, the supply of scientific
information is minimal. Studies such as these are thus hampered by the unavailability
of primary sports history information. As this study is sport-historically orientated, the
historic-scientific method has been implemented. Preference has been given to primary
sources of information. These sources included minutes, annual reports, reports of
annual meetings and reports of special meetings of the Stellenbosch Rugby Football
Club, as well as interviews with people involved with the club. Personal
correspondence and interviews have also been undertaken with the students and warders
of the various male residences. Secondary sources of information included University
of Stellenbosch publications, books, articles and newspapers.
The introductory section provides a broad outline of the history of rugby in
Stellenbosch; the sports fields of the University and especially the various venues of the
rugby club are dealt with. At first, games were played on the Braak, from where they
were moved to the Vlakte, the Paviljoenveld and later to Coetzenburg.
The second chapter is devoted to the formulation of the problem, defining of the study,
method of research and the evaluation of the resources. The third chapter describes all the male residences playing in the koshuisrugby
competition. Their history, emblems and their results in the koshuisrugby competition
are discussed in detail. Two other teams are also described. However, they are not
resident on the Stellenbosch Campus: the Elsenburg Agricultural College has also been
discussed as they take part in the koshuisrugby competition although they are not part of
the University. Medies (the Medical School) is part of the University and plays rugby
in the koshuisrugby competition, but is not situated on the Stellenbosch Campus.
The fourth chapter deals with the koshuisrugby competition. First, the origins and the
evolution of the five leagues are mapped out. Other competitions such as sevens rugby
and the first years’ tournament are also described.
Since koshuisrugby provided the playing field for experimenting with rules, a section
has been written on rule changes. Referees had to know and apply al those rule
changes, so something about the history and evolution of referees has also been given.
Finally, sponsors are discussed because their participation helped to make koshuisrugby
extremely popular.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Stellenbosch Rugbyvoetbalklub is die grootste klub in die wêreld en die
rugbykompetisie van die manskoshuise is 'n komponent van hierdie klub. Die doel van
hierdie studie was om die ontstaan, samestelling en aktiwiteite van die rugby van
mansstudente in koshuise (‘koshuisrugby’) aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch te
dokumenteer.
Die geskiedenis van die Universiteit, die geskiedenis van die Stellenbosch
Rugbyvoetbalklub en iets van die geskiedenins van rugby in Suid-Afrika, veral te
Stellenbosch, word in die inleiding as agtergrond aangebied om 'n globale blik te
voorsien.
In wese het hierdie studie te doen met die ontwikkelling van koshuisrugby by die
Universiteit Stellenbosch. 'n Poging is aangewend om al die versamelde inligting so
akkuraat en deeglik as moontlk te herkonstrueer.
Alhoewel daar baie populêre sportskrywing in Suid-Afrika gedoen word, is die aanbod
van inligting met 'n wetenskaplike strekking minimaal. Studies soos die huidige een
word dus in die wiele gery deur die onbeskikbaarheid van primêre inligting oor die
geskiedenis van sport. Aangesien hierdie studie op sportgeskiedenis gerig is, is die
histories-wetenskaplike metode daarvoor gevolg. Voorkeur is gegee aan primêre
bronne van inligting. Hierdie bronne het die notules van vergaderings, jaarverslae,
verslae van jaarvergaderings en verslae van spesiale vergaderings van die Stellenbosch
Rugbyvoetbalklub ingesluit, sowel as onderhoude met persone wat by die klub betrokke
is. Persoonlike briefwisseling en onderhoude is ook gevoer met studente en
koshuisvaders van die onderskeie manskoshuise. Sekondêre bronne van inligting het
publikasies van die Universiteit Stellenbosch, boeke, artikels en koerante ingesluit.
Die inleiding verskaf 'n breë oorsig oor die geskiedenis van rugby in Stellenbosch; die
sportvelde van die Universiteit, en die verskeie bymekaarkomplekke van die rugbyklub.
Aan die begin is rugbywedstryde op die ‘Braak’ gespeel, vanwaar hulle na die
sogenaamde ‘Vlakte’ verskuif het, later na die ‘Paviljoenveld’ en toe na Coetzenburg en
later die Danie Craven-stadion. Die tweede hoofstuk is gewy aan die formulering van die probleem, die afbakening van
die studie, die navorsingsmetode en die evaluering van die bronne.
Die derde hoofstuk beskrywe al die manskoshuise wat aan die koshuisrugbykompetisie
deelgeneem het. Die geskiedenis van hul deelname, koshuiswapens en resultate word in
besonderhede gedek. Twee ander spanne, wat hulself nie op die Stellenbosch-kampus
bevind nie, word ook bespreek. Die Elsenburg Landboukollege word bespreek
aangesien hulle aan die koshuisrugbykompetisie deelneem, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle
nie deel vorm van die Universiteit nie. Medies (die span van die Mediese Skool) vorm
deel van die Universiteit en speel rugby in die koshuisrugbykompetisie, maar is in
Tygerberg gesetel.
Die vierde hoofstuk behandel die koshuisrugbykompetisie. Die oorsprong en ewolusie
van die vyf ligas word eerstens uitgestip. Ander kompetisies, soos sewes-rugby en die
eerstejaarstoernooi, word ook beskrywe.
Aangesien koshuisrugby die speelveld vir eksperimentering met reëls gelewer het, word
'n afdeling aan die wysiging van reëls gewy. Skeidregters moes die reëlwysigings leer
ken en toepas, dus was dit nodig om ook oor die geskiedenins en ontwikkeling van die
skeidsregters te skrywe. Ten laaste word borge ook bespreek, aangesien hul deelname
gehelp het om koshuisrugby so uiters gewild te maak.

Full textAbstract:
Little research has been devoted to studying the interconnections between the ambiguous border identities along the so-called ‘Celtic fringe’ in the UK. It is important to explore whether, in the new context of the devolved Welsh and Scottish states, people resident in the border areas of Wales and Scotland will increasingly come to identify with the Welsh or Scottish “nation” and with its official “nationality”. Using the sociological approach advocated by Robert K. Yin, this thesis draws on ethnographical research to explore the precise nature of the relationship between contemporary national identity, nationalism, borderlands and football fandom. It examines supporters in three border towns: Oswestry (Shropshire), Hay-on-Wye (Powys), and Berwick-upon-Tweed (Northumberland). Focus groups were conducted with match-going supporters of Welsh league champions The New Saints of Oswestry Town, Scottish League Two side Berwick Rangers and Hay St. Mary’s Football Club, who compete in both the Herefordshire and Mid Wales leagues. Examining football fans’ expressions of identity, this study discusses national sentiment and explores identity – local, regional and national – in the England-Wales and England-Scotland border regions from a theoretical and comparative perspective. A detailed and grounded study of national identity and nationalism amongst fans in the borderlands of Wales and Scotland will appeal to academics and students of sports history and with interests in ethnography, the sociology of sport, football fandom, debatable borderlands and contemporary national identities.

Abordant une période de 16 ans, notre étude comparative se propose de mettre en évidence un aspect particulier de l’histoire de la médiatisation du sport en France et en Allemagne : l’évolution de l’offre de football télévisé et sa réception par la presse durant la première phase d’édification du « Grand stade ». De manière primordiale, nous avons exploré dans quelle mesure cette offre a pu jouer un rôle de vecteur d’identité nationale et européenne. L’approche comparative entre France et RFA invitait à analyser principes et forces à l’œuvre dans la gouvernance nationale et internationale du football et de la télévision. La presse sportive et celle spécialisée dans l’annonce des programmes télévisés, concernées de façon essentielle par le phénomène, ont retenu notre attention de manière prioritaire. L’analyse de l’évolution des rapports entre acteurs institutionnels, celle des contenus proposés et de la ritualisation du spectacle de football télévisé à la lumière d’avis contemporains des événements et publiés dans cette presse dite populaire constitua donc un aspect crucial de notre projet. Ces avis sous-tendaient des théories professionnelles et profanes sur la télédiffusion du football qui, pour certaines, s’inscrivirent dans la durée. D’autres, par contre, furent rapidement invalidées par l’évolution de la technologie, de l’environnement règlementaire et institutionnel ou par l’apparition de nouvelles épreuves comme les compétitions européennes des clubs et des sélections nationales. Le cas échéant, il s’agissait donc de mettre en évidence non seulement l’émergence, mais également la persistance de part et d’autre du Rhin d’une « culture nationale » en la matière. Dans le même esprit, nous avons examiné comment la fondation de UER, celle de l’UEFA et le lancement de ses compétitions aboutirent à la création, puis à l’extension et à l’enracinement d’un « certain » espace culturel européen du football<br>Covering a period of 16 years starting back in 1950 our comparative study aims to stress a peculiar aspect of the history of sports media coverage in France and Germany: the evolution of television football programs and their reception by the press during this first phase of edification of the “Great Stadium”. We have primarily explored in what measure these programs played the part of a conveyor for national and European identity. The comparative approach between France and Germany pleaded in favor of analyzing principles and forces involved in the national and international governance of football and television. We first focused on the sports press and the magazines dealing with television programs since they are liable to be essentially concerned by the observed phenomenon. The analysis of the evolution of the relationships involving institutional actors in this sector is a crucial aspect of our study. The study of the supplied programs and of the rites tied with a growing consumption of television football shows is not less important. It provoked the publication of numerous contemporary opinions in the so-called popular press of both countries. These opinions sustained professional or profane theories on football broadcasting that had a lasting pertinence for some of them. Others were soon invalidated by the swift evolution of technology, of the institutional environment and regulations or by the apparition of new competitions like the European Champions’ Cup or the European Nations’ Championship. It was important to stress how a “national culture” emerged and persisted on both sides of the Rhine River during those years as far as football broadcasting is concerned. It was also important to examine how the foundation of EBU, of UEFA and the launching of diverse European competitions led to the creation, to the extension and to the establishment of a “popular” European cultural space tied with football

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contends that the contemporary phenomenon of youth football is the fruit of a variety of historical developments over the twentieth century. The manner in which the junior game evolved as an independent subset of the sport in France and America was certainly exemplary of the idiosyncrasies of national sporting culture, football in particular, the general timeline of each country as well as the place of 'youth' in wider society. The present study aims to expand the understanding of the game of football, specifically the youth sector, through a transnational line of enquiry covering the period from circa 1920 to circa 2000. The thesis structure is broadly thematic and chronological. This comparative approach attempts to remain coherent across both countries with a goal of outlining the core issues and major shifts which occurred over the chosen period. Youth football underwent a process of demarcation from the adult or elite game but maintained and furthered specific mechanisms linking the two across sporting, educational, and professional bridges. With the decade of the 1970s serving as a turning point, the youth level achieved a sort of independence while being inextricably fused to the top level. The essence of the growing separation of the youth from the senior level rested on the fundamental notion of 'age' as opposed to 'ability'. The organisation of football around this concept of 'age', and the resulting limitation of participation, provided a basis for 'junior' football as a distinct entity by the last quarter of the twentieth century. Subsequent divisions extended the differences between age categories and created a full competitive youth spectrum for younger and younger players. The game was, as a result, 'juvenilized'. The registration of players and the competitions for which this registration was so important reflected the relevance of 'age'. Throughout this process, though in different ways and at different speeds in the two countries studied, the youth game was drawn away from its roots in the school and as a pillar of the world of education. After the initial interwar and post-war eras, youth football moved toward the worlds of the club and association. This specialisation of the game was also evident in the rules and the equipment, all of which were progressively adapted for a more pedagogically correct, and perhaps commercially oriented, fit. While the youth game separated from the adult footballing world through age classification, distinct competitive spaces, adapted rules and equipment, that expanding gulf was continually bridged in various ways in order to maintain, develop, and create new links between these two increasingly distinct sectors of the sport. The link with the elite and the professional levels was certainly not new, but from the 1970s onwards it was solidified over time and the relationship grew closer as education moved farther away or, at the least, took a back seat to 'professional training'. By the close of the twentieth century, this ultimately placed the youth game as distinct from the adult game. Yet, somewhat contradictorily, it was closer than ever to the elite professional domain. As subject to international, professional and commercial forces, the youth game was fused to elite football. These three forces pulled youth football away from their uniquely national idioms and towards a more globalized arena. Harmonizing the experience across national boundaries, a blend of educational, sporting and professional bridges ensured and furthered the connection between the youth and the adult elite player. From the late nineteenth century's amateur world view - where football and sport were idealized as a means for development of the human being or the vehicle for the transmission of elite social values - the effects of professionalization turned football into an end in itself as a legitimate career. From child's play to a real métier. By the end of the twentieth century, the youth game stood confidently with one foot in each world.

Os espaços esportivos dos clubes de futebol são construções marcantes na paisagem, cuja função envolve sentimentos e paixões no público que vivencia o dia-a-dia do esporte mais popular do país, transformando os estádios e campos de futebol em uma espécie de templo de peregrinação, um patrimônio históricocultural representativo do lugar onde está inserido. No Brasil, e mais precisamente no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, o papel do futebol ultrapassa os limites do cenário de competição esportiva, e adentra como elemento componente da estrutura cultural da sociedade. Tendo em vista o panorama histórico do desenvolvimento do futebol no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, mais precisamente no município de Porto Alegre, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender como ocorreu o processo histórico de desenvolvimento dos espaços esportivos dos clubes que ofereceram a prática do futebol em Porto Alegre na primeira metade do século XX. Para a realização desta pesquisa histórica, utilizaram-se os preceitos metodológicos da história cultural, em uma pesquisa documental através de fontes impressas, tais como a Revista do Globo, os jornais "Correio do Povo" entre outros que circularam na cidade de Porto Alegre na época do estudo, bem como obras que abordem a história do futebol em Porto Alegre. Analisando as fontes, o trabalho apresenta a existência de três diferentes fases pelas quais passaram os espaços esportivos dos clubes de futebol em Porto Alegre: a primeira, entre 1903 e 1909, onde foram formados os primeiros espaços para a prática do futebol, através dos clubes ligados ao associativismo esportivo germânico; a segunda, que compreende os anos 1910, 1920 e 1930 onde se organizaram novos clubes, novos estádios e campeonatos, através de uma abertura do esporte às outras etnias presentes na cidade, saindo dos círculos aristocráticos com o surgimento de campos e estádios em bairros operários e populares; e uma terceira, nos anos 1940 e 1950, adentrando nos anos 1960, onde ocorreram a construção dos grandes estádios da cidade, reflexo da massificação e popularização do futebol e particularmente a preponderância de dois clubes, Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto-Alegrense e Sport Club Internacional.<br>Sporting spaces of football clubs are proeminent buildings in the landscape, whose function involves feelings and passions in the audience that lives daily the most popular sport in Brazil, turning the stadiums and football grounds in a kind of pilgrimage temple and a representative historic and cultural heritage of the place where it is inserted. In Brazil, and more pricesely in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the role of football goes beyond the limits of sport competition scenario, and becomes part of the cultural structure of the society. Considering the historical background of the development of football in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, more precisely in the city of Porto Alegre, this study aims to understand how was the historical process of development of sports spaces of the clubs that offered the practice of football in Porto Alegre in the first half of the twentieth century. To the realization of this historical research, the methodological principles of cultural history were used, in a documentary research through printed sources such as the "Revista do Globo", the newspaper "Correio do Povo" and others that circulated in Porto Alegre at the time of the study, as well papers that talks about the history of football in Porto Alegre. Analyzing the sources, the work shows the existence of three different phases of the spaces of football clubs in Porto Alegre: The first, between 1903 and 1909, which were formed the first spaces to the practice of football, through the clubs linked to the germanic sports associationalism; the second, comprising the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, in which new clubs, stadiums and leagues are organized, through an opening of the sport to others ethnic groups present in the city, leaving the aristocratic circles by the appearance of fields and stadiums in working-class and popular neighborhoods; and a third in the 1940s and 1950s, entering in the 1960s, where occurred the construction of the biggest stadiums the city, reflecting the massification and popularization of football and especially the preponderance of two clubs, “Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto-Alegrense” and “Sport Club Internacional.”

Previous issue date: 2014-02-25<br>Sem bolsa<br>O presente estudo objetivou analisar os processos de emergência, disseminação e popularização do futebol na cidade de Rio Grande - RS. Como metodologia, utilizou-se a análise documental em fonte midiática a partir de Gil (2006); escolheu-se o periódico Echo do Sul e estabeleceu-se a delimitação
temporal do estudo no período entre 1900 e 1916. Amparando o pensamento no conceito de genealogia de Foucault (2012a e 2012b), a intenção foi analisar os fatos históricos, buscando as condições que possibilitaram a emergência, a disseminação e a popularização deste esporte. O futebol surge no município influenciado pela cultura europeia e dissemina-se através das viagens realizadas pelos clubes, tanto para cidades vizinhas, quanto para o interior de Rio Grande. Neste trabalho, também foi explorado o conceito de infame (FOUCAULT, 2009). Os clubes infames são aqueles que figuraram poucas vezes entre as notícias veiculadas pelo periódico analisado. O número de clubes fundados no município chegou a 47 até 1916, ocasionando uma diversidade sociocultural e étnica acentuada entre as agremiações. Com
relação à popularização do esporte, destacou-se a incorporação do futebol no ambiente fabril. Inicialmente, as partidas ocorriam dentro dos clubes, com as disputas sendo realizadas entre o primeiro e o segundo time da agremiação. Já no final da primeira década do século XX, começam os primeiros amistosos entre clubes. No final de 1915, foi fundada a Liga Riograndense de Football, a qual organiza, no ano seguinte, o primeiro campeonato citadino, vencido pelo Sport Club São Paulo. Concluiu-se que, em 1916, o futebol riograndino já não era mais uma prática restrita às elites da cidade, devido a uma dinâmica
futebolística que incentivou a emergência e a proliferação de clubes de futebol não vinculados às elites locais, já no final década de 1910.<br>The aim of this study was to analyze the emergence, dissemination and popularization of foot-ball in Rio Grande - RS. The methodology used was documental analysis from media sources according to Gil (2006). The chosen journal was Echo do Sul and we settled the study in the period between the years 1900 and 1916. According to the concept of genealogy of Foucault (2012a and 2012b ), the intention was to analyze the historical facts, seeking the conditions that allowed the emergence, dissemination and opularization of this sport. Football comes to the city influenced by European culture and spreads through the journeys made by the clubs, both nearby cities and for the interior of Rio Grande. In this study, we also explored the concept of the infamous (Foucault, 2009). Infamous clubs, in relation to football of Rio rande,
are those who have figured a few times between the reports in the journal analyzed. The number of clubs formed in the city reached 47 until 1916, causing an ethnic and sociocultural diversity among the clubs. With respect to the popularization of the sport, there is the incorporation of football in the manufacturing environment. Initially, the games took place inside the clubs, with matches between the first and second team of the club. At the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, beginning the first friendly matches between the clubs. At the end of 1915, was founded Riograndense Football League, which organizes, in the following year, the first city championship, won by Sport Club São Paulo. It was concluded that, in 1916, the football in the city of Rio Grande was no longer a restricted game to the elite of the city, due to a
dynamic football that encouraged the emergence and proliferation of football clubs not tied to local elites, already in the late of 1910.

Full textAbstract:
sustained multiple concussions may be at risk of cumulative impairment. The role of neuropsychological testing in the management of sports-related concussion is a contentious and challenging issue which has gained credibility given the lack of clear and well-established guidelines pertaining to the diagnosis, assessment and return-to-play decisions following concussion. Despite various traditional paper and pencil tests being shown to be effective indicators of postconcussive neuropsychological dysfunction, testing has not been widely implemented, due to time- and labour-demands. ImPACT, a computer-based neuropsychological assessment instrument, has been recognised as a valid and reliable tool in the monitoring of athletes' symptoms and neurocognitive functioning preseason and postconcussion. As a part of larger-scale concussion research conducted on top-team university rugby players, this is an in-depth case study conducted on a 20-year old participant with a history of multiple concussions, who was referred following a concussion sustained during the season. The objectives of the study were: (i) to determine the sensitivity of ImPACT versus WAIS-III Digit Span and Trail Making Test during the acute postconcussive phase; and (ii) to examine the sensitivity of ImPACT versus a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests to possible residual deficits as a result of the multiple concussions. ImPACT was determined to be more sensitive to acute postconcussive impairment following concussion than Digit Span and Trail Making Test. Furthermore, the ImPACT preseason baseline scores appear to be sensitive to neurocognitive dysfunction, possibly due to cumulative concussive injuries.

Min studie syftar till att undersöka hur den svenska fotbollens supporterkulturs könsfördelning mellan män och kvinnor sett ut årtiondena efter Andra världskriget, hur maskulinitet har konstruerats idenna kontext samt hur synen på genus bland supportrarna såg ut under denna tid. Undersökningen bidrar till forskningsläget med en outforskad period, där andra forskare undersökt tidigare och senare perioder med fokus på kopplingen mellan maskulinitet och våld. Jag ser en hypotetisk koppling till skötsamhetskultur som upplevde sina glansdagar under samma period. För att närma mig frågorna har jag som metod arbetat med muntlig historia med utgång i framförallt Malin Thor och Lars Hansson samt Robert Perks och Alistair Thompson och djupintervjuer med 6 personer som var aktiva i supporterkulturen kring Malmö FF under nämnd tid. Som teoretisk grund för förståelsen av empirin har jag använt genus- och maskulinitetsteorier från Raewyn Connell, Rebecca Pearseoch Michael A. Messner och populärvetenskapliga skribenter som Marcus Priftis och Stephan Mendel-Elk. För att förstå den förändring som skett inom den maskulinitet som dominerar svenska fotbollsläktare har jag använt Raewyn Connells kristeorier. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att män och kvinnor förr var mer skilda åt, både vad det gäller fysiska rum och genom striktare uppfattningar om könsroller. Detta började förändras under 70-talet i takt med att samhället och dess sociala strukturer förändrades. Förut kunde män känna sig trygga i sin maskulinitet, som var av en mer hierarkisk karaktär. Att uttrycka maskulinitet genom våldsutövning behövdes inte. Idrottsarenor, arbetsplatser och hem var ohotade könssegregerade platser som aktivt konstruerade genus. I dessa kontexter var skötsamhet och återhållsamhet en central del av maskuliniteten. Kvinnor ansågs länge i bästa fall vara andra klassens supportrar, oftast där som ett bihang till fotbollsintresserade pojkvänner eller män. Fotboll skapades aktivt som en manlig institution för att fostra en viss sorts manlighet. När samhällets sociala strukturer började förändras på 70-talet och kvinnor började ta plats i manliga kontexter uppstod en kris i maskuliniteten. Därför kan vi idag se en extremare form av verbal och fysisk manlighet. Idag går långt fler kvinnor och tjejer för att se på fotboll och deltar aktivt i supporterkulturer kring denna och damfotbollen har långt fler aktiva än de pionjärer som spelade fotbollunder tiden för min undersökning. Genus är inte statiskt utan förändras konstant och idag har positionerna i de sociala relationerna som genus utgör förflyttats. I och med att skillnaderna och avståndet mellan män och kvinnor idag har minskat har de för vissa blivit viktigare än förut.<br>The purpose of my study is to examine how gender division was reflected in Swedish football supporter culture across the decades after World War Two. It also examines how masculinity was constructedin this context and how supporters during this time perceived existing gender structures. The study contributes to the field by examining a yet unexamined period where other researchers focused on times before or after, with a focus on the connection between masculinity and violence. I see a hypothetic connection to respectablility, having it’s glory days these same years. To answer these questions, I sought oral accounts from Malin Thor, Lars Hansson as well as Robert Perks and Alistair Thompson. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with six individuals who were active in the supporter culture of Malmö FF during these years. The the oretical foundation for my research and the understanding of my empiricism are gender- masculinity and crisis theories from Raewyn Connell, Rebecca Pearse and Michael A. Messner and popular science authors such as Marcus Priftis and Stephan Mendel-Elk. Raewyn Connell’s crisis theories were used to understand the transformation of the Swedish terraces from the fifties to today. The results show that men and women were more separated before, physically and through perceptions of gender roles. During the seventies, these social structures began to change. Violence became more relevant as an expression of masculinity for the men who used to feel secure in fixed gender roles and overt hierarchies. Sporting arenas, work places and homes were all places segregated by gender and active agents in constructin ggender roles. In these contexts, good character and restraint were central parts of masculinity. At the same time, women were, at best, second-class supporters. Often, they were looked uponas girl friends, wives or appendages to male supporters. When society rapidly began to change in its social structures during the seventies, a crisis in masculinity arose. This explains the more extreme form of verbal and physical expressions from men today. Today, far more women attend football games and play football compared to a few decades ago. Gender is not static but in constant change. Social structure positions have shifted. Because of the fact that distance and differences between men and women have been reduced, it has become more important than ever to highlight these forcertain groups of people.

The purpose of this study is to show the technical building requirements for modern arenas inSweden. The study will also create an understanding of how the requirements affect theSwedish football arenas which are affected by the regulations valid from 2014. As one of theSwedish football arenas there is Örjans Vall located in Halmstad. The aim of this study is todevelop alternative solutions regarding the technical problems Örjans Vall is facing 2014,when the new arena requirements for “Svensk elitfotboll” are taken into use. The solutions aremeant to be seen as suggestions which can inspire and guide the future planning for themodernization of Örjans Vall.In order to present a suggestion with technical building solutions the study contains differentphases. The first phase is an evaluation of the arena requirements and criteria, with focus onthe technical building requirements, which are of importance when creating solutions forÖrjans Vall. The second phase is a review of the arena situation in Sweden. The last phase isan evaluation of Örjans Vall made towards the previous evaluation of the requirements andcriteria as the basis.The evaluation of Örjans Vall shows which technical building defects the football arena have.A rebuild and expansion of Örjans Vall is essential and needs to take place before 2014 unlessan exemption is issued. When all the parts in a complete suggestion should be consideredfollows a discussion where each area is treated separately. All areas will then form the basisof a complete suggestion for how a future Örjans Vall could be designed. The basis for thediscussions are simple solutions were practical suggestions are presented. In the areas where asimple solution does not exist, other arenas in Sweden will be considered to inspire theproposal.The solutions include the defects in different areas but also renovations and extensions of thebleachers where the main defects are shown. The report presents four alternative renovationsand extensions of the bleachers where an overall proposal is developed to meet the spectatorinterests.<br>Syftet med denna studie är att påvisa de byggtekniska krav som ställs på moderna arenor iSverige.

Sedan har en utredning av Örjans Vall på plats utförts, för att komplettera dentidigare utförda utvärderingen mot krav och kriterier.Utvärderingen av Örjans Vall visar vilka byggtekniska brister som fotbollsarenan har. En omochtillbyggnad av Örjans Vall är nödvändig och måste ske innan 2014 om inte dispensutfärdas. Då alla delar måste beaktas och behandlas i ett helhetsförslag följer en diskussiondär varje område behandlas var för sig. Alla områden kommer sedan ligga till grund för etthelhetsförslag på hur ett framtida Örjans Vall skulle kunna utformas. Till grund fördiskussionerna ligger enkla lösningar där praktiska förslag lyfts fram. I de områden där enenkel lösning inte anses finnas kommer övriga arena Sverige att beaktas för att lyfta framförslag.Lösningarna omfattar de utrymmesbrister som fanns men även om-och tillbyggnader avläktare där de största bristerna finns.
