SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

Just my family and friends, and I shall be satisfied.’ "Now that I am an old man and my days are numbered, my one prayer is, ‘Lord, give me the grace to change myself.’ If I had prayed for this right from the start I should not have wasted my life."

Bradman raged on, deadly riots erupted around the country, and thousands of youth flocked to Photos by Haight-Ashbury for the Summer of Love, the Temptations prepared to release an album Jason Gould they weren’t exactly sure about. They were already stars, but this new LP was aimed at a whole new audience, and they were nervous about losing their integrity and the fans they already had. They needn’t have worried. In a Mellow Mood, a collection of strings-drenched standards chosen for maximum crossover appeal, turned out to be a hit with both black and white record buyers. For one particular six-year-old in southeast Washington, DC, in fact, it planted a seed that would one day grow into a giant tree with surprisingly far-reaching limbs. CS DARRYL JENIFER LUCIAN PERKINS LUCIAN Four and a half decades later, Darryl Jenifer still remembers Few could have predicted what came next. Jenifer married how James Jamerson’s bass lines on Copacabana-ready classics his love of complex fusion with a knack for aggressive English like “Hello Young Lovers,” “Ol’ Man River,” and a pre-Stevie punk, perfecting a scorching style that blended Stanley-inspired Wonder version of “For Once In My Life” opened his ears and double-stops, riffs that recalled Black Sabbath, and a precise set him on a path toward a once-in-a-lifetime crossover of his intensity that was several notches above his contemporaries.
