  • Football, Nationalism and the Chants of Palestinian Resistance in Jordan
    “Allah! Wehdat! Al-Quds Arabiya!”: Football, Nationalism and the chants of Palestinian Resistance in Jordan by Joshua MacKenzie B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2010 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Joshua MacKenzie 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2015 Approval Name: Joshua MacKenzie Degree: Master of Arts (History) Title: “Allah! Wehdat! Al-Quds Arabiya!”: Football, Nationalism and the Chants of Palestinian Resistance in Jordan Examining Committee: Chair: Mary-Ellen Kelm Associate Professor Paul Sedra Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Thomas Kuehn Supervisor Associate Professor Derryl MacLean Supervisor Associate Professor Adel Iskandar External Examiner Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Date Defended/Approved: November 27, 2015 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract After the Jordanian Civil War in 1970—which saw the Jordanian army defeat Palestinian guerrillas, the death of thousands of Palestinians living in Jordan and the exile of Palestinian political organizations and leaders from refugee camps—Palestinians in Jordan became politically and socially marginalized. Despite these marginalizations, Palestinians in Jordan always had access to sport. This thesis will examine how the football club, al-Wehdat, plays a role in creating and establishing identity and nationalism for Palestinians in Jordan. By using oral history, I move beyond the narrative of a homogenous Palestinian identity and demonstrate the complexities of Palestinian identities. Moreover, utilizing oral history in my thesis challenges the notion of football being cathartic, and demonstrates how al-Wehdat fans are able to: A) manoeuvre within the stadium, despite being under constant surveillance, B) to continue to use al-Wehdat as a political platform, predominantly through their chants, and C) to develop Palestinian identity and nationalism in Jordan.

However, whilst there is some evidence of the benefits of playing football for learning-disabled people, there is little evidence to support these claims. Drawing on empirical data from learning-disabled people about their experiences of football fandom and from relevant authorities responsible for facilitating the fandom of learning-disabled people, this thesis provides a critical analysis of the opportunities to tackle social exclusion that football fandom provides learning-disabled people.

  • The Cultural Practice of Localising Mediated Sports Music
    Kaj Ahlsved THE CULTURAL PRACTICE OF LOCALISING MEDIateD SPORts MUSIC The crowd gathers. Hellos with friends and familiar faces are exchanged before I make my way to my familiar seat. The latest news is discussed with those sit- ting next to me: who is injured, who is going to win the game for us, and do we have a good referee today? Someone is munching on a grilled sausage; another is saving it for half time. A third sips his coffee while children happily eat their ice cream. The friend to my left wears long johns in July, the friend to my right usually arrives late carrying his lunch, a plate of kebab. A popular song plays in the background, flags are waving in the wind, and the sun shines over the local sporting event. Suddenly, a march blares from the PA system and in the blink of an eye the focus of the crowd shifts towards the pitch. The crowd claps along to the instrumental German military march Alte Kameraden while the home and away teams walk on to the pitch. The supporter group announces its presence by bursting into one of their familiar chants. It’s game time in Jakobstad/Pietarsaari. The above example describes my personal routine of going to an FF Jaro1 football game at Keskuskenttä in Pietarsaari, Finland. This routine is repeated nearly once a week during football season, only the weather differs from game to game. From a cultural and musicological standpoint, what is interesting about this scenario is the fact that a German instrumental military march, written by 1 From now on simply Jaro.

  • Sons of the Mother
    SONS OF THE MOTHER Synopsis Two brothers are tied up in the garage by their father to help them kick a deadly habit; but the drug they call 'the mother' is stronger than love. Cast List Andy } Brothers in their twenties Darren } Dad Mum (Dead) 1 SONS OF THE MOTHER Act One Two brothers are tied up in a shed or garage. Depending on budget, this loving restraint could be elaborate steampunk machinery or wooden chairs with rope bindings. The boys are fixed in one position to begin but, as the play unfolds, this ‘apparatus of cruel kindness’ is upgraded, allowing them to sit/stand and lie down. They may eventually be able to swing, slide and see-saw around the equipment; while still bound hand and foot to it. They are suffering the ‘fluey symptoms’ of drug withdrawal. (Some of their dialogue is stylised to sound like moans and groans.) Darkness. ANDY and DARREN: Born. Born. Lights up. ANDY: When were you born? DARREN: 28th February, 1988. ANDY: Bonnie. Blithe. It was a Sunday. Where were you born? DARREN: Canterbury: where the tale begins. No, Glastonbury: where the story starts. Hang on. Was it Stonehenge, or Penge? Olympia or Mount Olympus? Where does it look like I come from? ANDY: You must remember exactly. We need to know if we’re dealing with comedy or tragedy. Morecambe, Bognor, Torquay; born there and you’ll be laughing.

  • Djurgårdens Fina Grabbar: Local Identities and the Cross-National Transfer of Spectator-Related Football Violence
    Djurgårdens Fina Grabbar: Local Identities and the Cross-national Transfer of Spectator-related Football Violence CARL-GUSTAF SCOTT* Once known as the „English Disease,‰ hooliganism (or spectator-related football vio- lence) is now a routine feature in most European football leagues. In Sweden, the number of serious violent offences in conjunction with football matches has steadily continued to mount over the last four decades. Presently, one of the worst culprits is Djurgårdens Fina Grabbar ă DFG (DjurgårdenÊs Fine Lads), the so-called „firm‰ (or hooligan group) associated with Djurgårdens Idrottsförening ă DIF (DjurgårdenÊs Athletic Association). DIFÊs supporters have long looked to Britain for inspiration; and this tendency is very marked in DFG. Yet, in the past few years, a new Italian-inspired variety of hooliganism has likewise become more and more detectable in DFGÊs actions. This, in turn, has led to a new hybrid, that is neither wholly Italian nor British in character ă though it has unquestionably created a more menacing version of Swedish hooliganism. This article accounts for this change in DFG while simultaneously exploring questions relating to the continued sanctity of local identities in the context of an increasingly globalized football culture. It additionally asks whether Swedish hooliganism should be understood as a response to the challenges facing traditional masculine identities in post-industrial societies like Sweden that also strongly emphasize gender equality. Jadis appelé ÿ la maladie anglaise Ÿ, le hooliganisme (ou la violence des spectateurs au football) fait dorénavant partie du décor de la plupart des ligues de football européennes. En Suède, le nombre de crimes de violence graves liés à des matches de football ne cesse de se multiplier depuis quatre décennies.
