    ”Second heaven” Forestillinger om Vesten hos unge talenter ved et fotballakademi i Ghana Fredrik Ødegaard Masteroppgave ved Sosialantropologisk institutt UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Mai, 2008 2 Sammendrag Denne oppgaven omhandler unge ghanesiske fotballtalenters forestillinger om Vesten og hvordan forestillingene konstrueres i møtet med den vestlige fotballindustrien. Oppgaven er skrevet på grunnlag av sju måneders feltarbeid i Ghana, hvorav fire måneder ved et fotballakademi. Fotballakademier er blitt et viktig instrument for identifisering og trening av unge fotballspillere, og flere europeiske klubber var under feltarbeidsperioden involvert som eiere eller partnere ved akademier. Informantene ved akademiet gikk en usikker fremtid i møte hvis ikke fotballkarrieren tok av, mye på grunn av mangel på muligheter, men for spillerne og familiene deres var drømmen om å komme seg opp og frem som fotballspiller en like realistisk strategi som noen annen. Med utgangspunkt i James Carriers (1995) anvendelse av oksidentalismebegrepet forsøker denne oppgaven å vise betydningen av akademispillernes kulturmøte med representanter for den europeiske fotballindustrien og deres konstruksjon av Vesten. Oppgaven vil belyse hvilke livssituasjon spillerne levde under, og hvilke muligheter og begrensninger akademiet som handlingsrom skapte for spillerne. Ved å knytte oksidentalisme til maktbegreper vil oppgaven argumenter for at fotballspillerne i stor grad konstruerte positive og generaliserte bilder og forestillinger om Vesten som en helhet. 2 3 Forord Takk til alle som har hjulpet meg i skriveprosessen; Anne B. Leseth for god veiledning; Tove og Thorleif for konstruktive tilbakemeldinger; Bjørn Ivar for korrekturlesing; Bjørn Omar for å ha vært en raus sjef, og ikke minst, Anne og Jonas, for stor tålmodighet.

    Script: Cornelius Ehimiaghe and Akinboye ‘Sunkanmi Cover Design and Art: Akinboye ‘Sunkanmi Colors: Waliu Edu and Raphael Kazeem Project Manager: Cornelius Ehimiaghe. Project Adviser: Ojeikere Aikhoje. NIGERIAN GOLDEN LEGENDS This graphic novel is an attempt to tell the story of the performance of Team Nigeria athletes at the Olympic Games in Atlanta 1996, while bearing in mind the socio-political situation that existed in Nigeria at that point in time. The 40-page graphic novel is written by Cornelius Ehimiaghe and Akinboye Sunkanmi who is a UNIBEN graduate and one of the leading graphic novel illustrators in West Africa. This graphic novel is published by Community Sport and Educational Development (CSED), as part of achieving their goal of using sports to promote a book reading culture among Nigerian children and youths. The current generation of Nigerians have not witnessed their athletes climbing the podium to collect an Olympic gold medal. This graphic novel would take readers back to the decade when Chioma Ajunwa and eighteen Nigerian footballers won the hearts and minds of millions of television viewers all over the world, by their grass to grace performance. This graphic novel is going to be a good read for children, teenagers and their parents, who participated in the nationwide celebration to mark the historic achievement of the Nigerian golden legends. You have heard the tales and you have watched the video clips. But you must read the graphic novel that brings the story and images of these historic events back to life, in a new form. This is a must read graphic novel of the year.
