DAVID TYLER, B.A., UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME M.S., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST M.B.A., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Assistant Professor Sheranne Fairley, Ph.D. The aggregate of a sport team’s fans may be viewed as a consumption community that surrounds the team and its brand (Devasagayam & Buff, 2008; Hickman & Ward, 2007). Beneath this larger consumption umbrella, smaller groups of consumers may exist (Dholakia, Bagozzi, & Pearo, 2004), such as specific supporter groups for a team. Individuals thus may identify with multiple layers of the consumption group simultaneously (Brodsky & Marx, 2001; Hornsey & Hogg, 2000). Although past researchers have studied supporter groups (Giulianotti, 1996, 1999a; Parry & Malcolm, 2004) and consumption communities (Kozinets, 2001; Muñiz & O’Guinn, 2001; McAlexander, Schouten, & Koenig, 2002), there has been limited research on the interaction among subgroups within the superordinate group. The current study examines the American Outlaws (AO), a supporter group for the United States men’s national soccer team (USMNT). AO members belong to local AO chapters (subgroups) as well the national (superordinate) group. This structure v creates multiple levels of identification and is conducive to studying the phenomenon in question. Through employing a grounded theory methodology, data were collected via participant observation and ethnographic interviews over a two year period. The current study identifies six prominent foci of identification among AO members: the USMNT, the United States of America (national identity), the sport of soccer, AO National, AO Local, and one’s small social group. These identities are found to be mutually reinforcing and shape members’ interactions with the team, the supporter group, and social groups therein. Specifically, the regional subgroups (AO Local chapters) create opportunities for social interaction, which fosters members’ sense of community and group identification. In turn, this strengthens group cohesion at the subgroup and superordinate group levels. Further, supporter group members alter their team consumption experiences by creating places of prolonged identity salience at live games and when watching games on television. These events increase identification with the supporter group and its related identities. For practitioners, implications of this study include the understanding of supporter groups’ impact on members’ frequency and duration of brand-related consumption. vi CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iv ABSTRACT .........................................................................................................................v LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. xi LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... xii CHAPTER 1.

  • Developing Communities
    Developing 1 Communities Jerry W. Robinson, Jr., and Gary Paul Green BEHAVIOR OBJECTIVES After studying this chapter and completing the online learning activities, students should be able to 1. Understand the criticism of the concept of “community.” 2. Define community of place. 3. Differentiate between community development and economic development. 4. Describe the social forces that led to the rise of the community development field. 5. Differentiate between development “of” community and development “in” community. 6. Identify issues that influence the interests of residents in specific localities. 7. Understand the role of participation in the community development process. 8. Distinguish between community service-learning and volunteering/community service. ________________________________________ Introduction Much has been written in recent years about the loss of community and the implications for civil society (Putnam, 2000). Globalization has restructured economic, political, and social relationships at the local level. Technological and social changes have opened new paths for sharing collective interests, such as social networking sites on the Internet and mass media that link individuals to a common culture. Corporations and financial institutions shift capital around the globe to seek out more profitable locations for doing business. Workers increasingly move to places where they can find better job opportu - nities. All of these factors undermine the sense of community in places. 1 2 INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Although our social relationships and interests are no longer limited to local communities, the power of place remains. Local issues, such as education, housing, health, and jobs, are critical concerns for most residents. There continues to be interest in mobilizing local residents to build assets that improve their quality of life (Green & Haines, 2007; Kretzmann & McKnight, 1993).

  • 1 the Role of Assets in Community-Based Development 3
    The Role of Assets in Community-Based 1 Development ommunity development’s intellectual roots are in several academic C disciplines, including sociology, economics, political science, planning, social work, and even architecture. The interdisciplinary approach of com- munity development has many advantages, but it also presents some ana- lytical problems. It lacks a common language, a conceptual framework, and a set of agreed-upon issues or problems. Community development also is frequently driven more by practice than by theory. There also is distributeconsiderable debate among practitioners whether community development is primarily a process or an outcome. or Community development has always had a diverse set of objectives: solv- ing local problems (e.g., unemployment and poverty), addressing inequalities of wealth and power, promoting democracy, and building a sense of com- munity (Rubin & Rubin, 1992). As a result, it has been defined in a variety of ways, including local economic development,post, political empowerment, service provision, real estate development, comprehensive planning, and job training. In this book, we do not overcome these ambiguities, but we define some of the major concepts and issues for which there is considerable agree- ment in the community development field today. We believe the asset approach offers the best potentialcopy, for providing a common conceptual basis for community development theory and for practitioners. We begin with one of the most slippery terms—community. not BOX 1.1 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FACTS •• RacialDo and ethnic minorities account for 83% of the growth in metropolitan areas. •• One out of eight Americans is an immigrant, and half of the foreign born live in a few of the largest metropolitan areas.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

  • Concepts and Meanings of Community in the Social Sciences
    Connected Communities Concepts and meanings of community in the social sciences Discussion Paper Valerie Walkerdine and David Studdert 1 CONCEPTS AND MEANINGS OF COMMUNITY IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES Concepts and meanings of community in the social sciences Discussion Paper Valerie Walkerdine and David Studdert Executive Summary The project „Concepts and meanings of community in the social sciences‟ undertook to produce a conceptual review, linking theoretical underpinnings with the usage of the concepts of community in empirical research and describing the manner in which these conceptualisations appear in government and non-government sector policies and practices. The review mapped key academic texts across 9 disciplines and fields since the 1960s. It reviewed the ways in which key conceptualizations appeared in empirical articles within these fields and disciplines and also appeared within government, NGO and voluntary sector websites, where community was an explicit aspect of the organisation‟s brief. The review showed that while there is a sophisticated history of debate and investigation within a few key disciplines, there has been a paucity of concepts used within empirical research, applied fields and policy websites. The impact of this is to make community into a „spray-on term‟, in which there is little reference to concepts but in which implicit meanings emphasize the significance of community as an object and downplay the importance of social relations and experience. The implications of this for research, policy and practice are profound: we badly need research which allows community as action to be conceptualized in ways which understand and thus support action by community members, central to the localism agenda.

  • COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY PERSPECTIVES on SOCIAL CAPITAL THEORY and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE by Douglas D
    Journal of the Community Development Society Vol. 33 No. 1 2002 COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL CAPITAL THEORY AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE By Douglas D. Perkins, Joseph Hughey, and Paul W. Speer ABSTRACT Concepts and research from community psychology can inform community development practice by reframing social capital theory. Social capital (SC) is generally defined and measured at the interpersonal, community, institutional, or societal levels in terms of networks (bridging) and norms of reciprocity and trust (bonding) within those networks. SC should be analyzed in a multi-level ecological framework in terms of both individual psychological and behavioral conceptions (sense of community, collective efficacy—or empowerment, neighboring, and citizen participation) and institutional and community network-level conceptions. Excessive concern for social cohesion undermines the ability to confront or engage in necessary conflict, and thus, it dis-empowers the community. Instead of emphasizing social cohesion, “network-bridging” opportunities to increase power, access, and learning should be emphasized. Institutional and community network analysis shows how SC operates at those levels and where to target service resources and develop mediating structures. Psychological and behavioral factors point to factors that motivate individuals to engage in building SC and methods to maintain and improve that engagement. Keywords: community psychology, social capital theory, sense of community, collective efficacy, empowerment, neighboring,
