  • Soccer, Culture and Society in Spain
    Soccer, Culture and Society in Spain Spanish soccer is on top of the world, at both international and club levels, with the best teams and a seemingly endless supply of exciting and stylish players. While the Spanish economy struggles, its soccer flourishes, deeply embedded throughout Spanish social and cultural life. But the relationship between soccer, culture and society in Spain is complex. This fascinating, in-depth study shines new light on Spanish soccer by examining the role this sport plays in Basque identity, consol- idated in Athletic Club of Bilbao, the century-old soccer club located in the birthplace of Basque nationalism. Athletic Bilbao has a unique player-recruitment policy, allowing only Basque- born players or those developed at the youth academies of Basque clubs to play for the team, a policy that rejects the internationalism of contemporary globalized soccer. Despite this, the club has never been relegated from the top division of Spanish soccer. A particularly tight bond exists between the fans, their club and the players, with Athletic representing a beacon of Basque national identity. This book is an ethnography of a soccer culture where origins, ethnicity, nationalism, gender relations, power and passion, life-cycle events and death rituals gain new meanings as they become, below and beyond the playing field, a matter of creative contention and communal affirmation. Based on unique, in-depth ethnographic research, Soccer, Culture and Society in Spain investigates how a soccer club and soccer fandom affect the life of a community, interweaving empirical research material with key contemporary themes in the social sciences, and placing the study in the wider context of Spanish political and sporting cultures.

  • Basque Soccer Madness a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
    University of Nevada, Reno Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Basque Studies (Anthropology) by Mariann Vaczi Dr. Joseba Zulaika/Dissertation Advisor May, 2013 Copyright by Mariann Vaczi All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Mariann Vaczi entitled Sport, Nation, Gender: Basque Soccer Madness be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Joseba Zulaika, Advisor Sandra Ott, Committee Member Pello Salaburu, Committee Member Robert Winzeler, Committee Member Eleanor Nevins, Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2013 i Abstract A centenarian Basque soccer club, Athletic Club (Bilbao) is the ethnographic locus of this dissertation. From a center of the Industrial Revolution, a major European port of capitalism and the birthplace of Basque nationalism and political violence, Bilbao turned into a post-Fordist paradigm of globalization and gentrification. Beyond traditional axes of identification that create social divisions, what unites Basques in Bizkaia province is a soccer team with a philosophy unique in the world of professional sports: Athletic only recruits local Basque players. Playing local becomes an important source of subjectivization and collective identity in one of the best soccer leagues (Spanish) of the most globalized game of the world. This dissertation takes soccer for a cultural performance that reveals relevant anthropological and sociological information about Bilbao, the province of Bizkaia, and the Basques. Early in the twentieth century, soccer was established as the hegemonic sports culture in Spain and in the Basque Country; it has become a multi- billion business, and it serves as a powerful political apparatus and symbolic capital.

    Tesis Doctoral “Vencer menos para ganar más”. Singularidad deportiva, vínculo territorial y transversalidad de la identidad a través de hinchas del Athletic Bilbao. Fernando Gutiérrez Chico Doctorado en Ciencias Sociales Dirección: Dr. Íñigo González de la Fuente Dr. Ángel B. Espina Barrio 2020 Universidad de Salamanca (España) Facultad de Ciencias Sociales / Instituto de Iberoamérica A mis padres y a mi hermano por estar siempre, siempre, siempre ahí. Al Maestro, al gran José Iragorri porque siempre te tengo y te tendré muy presente. II Agradecimientos En primer lugar, a toda mi familia. Han sido cuatro intensos años de mucho trabajo. Han sido muchas horas sin dormir, muchas horas sin descansar. Mudanza para aquí, mudanza para allá; un empleo aquí, un empleo allá… y en todas y cada una de esas fases siempre he tenido vuestro aliento. Egoístamente, he de reconocer que en esos precisos momentos no era capaz de apreciar su valor en la justa medida. Sin embargo, al escribir estas líneas me doy cuenta de lo muy importante que ha resultado para que esta tesis haya podido salir adelante. Mamá, Papá, Raúl: ¡sois los mejores! No puedo olvidarme tampoco de todas y cada una de las personas que me han permitido acercarme a su universo athletictzale y han compartido conmigo sus experiencias y reflexiones rojiblancas. Todos y todas esas hinchas que habéis participado en esta investigación y de los que tanto he aprendido. Sin vosotros esta tesis no hubiera sido posible, así que sobre vosotros recae el mérito de este trabajo. Eskerrik asko! ¡Ay Doctor González de la Fuente! ¡Ay, Iñigo! ¿Por dónde empiezo contigo? Tendremos que hablar con Euskaltzaindia para que acuñen un nuevo término porque eskerrik asko se queda corto para todo lo que te tengo que agradecer.
