Last spring, I had the opportunity to in- terview one of the New Cosmos newest play- ers, Mads Stokkelien, from Kristiansand, Norway. The New Cosmos has risen from the ashes of the original Cosmos team that dissolved almost 30 years ago. This is no small feat. The original team was owned by Warner Communications, a business flush with cash that hand picked the best players from around the world, boasting Pele, Beckenbauer, and Chinaglia. The team was also instrumental in popularizing the world’s most favored sport—outside of the U.S., that is—into a respectable sport inside the U.S. However, for a variety of reasons the Cosmos could not endure, and the team folded in 1985. The team was reborn two years ago as part of the New North American Soccer League. Hofstra University’s Shuart Sta- dium has replaced Giant Stadium. Last year was their first season and they played mag- nificently, winning the 2013 Soccer Bowl. Mads is from Kristiansand, where he played soccer for the local team. At 21 he moved to Oslo to play for Stabæk. He signed with the Cosmos in February 2014. In my last interview, I asked Mads about his life- long passion for the game. He recounted, “Since I was four or five years old, I played soccer most of the time. In all the pictures I have from me as a child I always had a ball in my hand or at my feet.

After the ‘discovery’ of African pygmies in the 1860s, little people became a powerful way of imaginatively connecting to an inconceivably distant past, and the place of humans within it. Little people in fin de siècle narratives have been commonly interpreted as atavistic, stunted warnings of biological reversion. I suggest that there are other readings available: by deploying two nineteenth-century anthropological theories – E. B. Tylor’s doctrine of ‘survivals’, and euhemerism, a model proposing that the mythology surrounding fairies was based on the existence of real ‘little people’ – they can also be read as positive symbols of the tenacity of the human spirit, and as offering access to a sacred, spiritual, or magic, world.
