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. -
Trabalho, Interessa Mais a Discussão Jornalística, Da Produção Do Conteúdo Até Sua Apropriação Pelo Público
Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXIX Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – São Paulo - SP – 05 a 09/09/2016 Tecnologias do imaginário como ferramentas para compreender as derrotas do Brasil nas Copas de 1950 e 20141 Lucas RIZZATTI2 Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS Resumo Diante da repercussão da derrota do Brasil para a Alemanha na Copa do Mundo de 2014, surgiram diversas comparações do trauma recente em relação ao primeiro revés da seleção como anfitrião desse evento, em 1950. O objetivo é igualmente estabelecer uma comparação, mas sob ponto de vista jornalístico, acerca do possível impacto dos meios de comunicação de cada época na construção dos vilões das derrotas. Pretende-se apresentar a noção de tecnologias do imaginário para nortear as seguintes questões, entre outras: teriam os brasileiros absorvido da mesma maneira um fracasso esportivo com diferença de 64 anos uma vez que os meios de comunicação parecem ter recursos distintos de emissão e apropriação? O quanto isso pode afetar a cristalização do imaginário do culpado por uma derrota? Assim, busca-se uma reflexão preliminar sobre os meios e suas coberturas. Palavras-chave: tecnologias do imaginário; jornalismo esportivo; Copa do Mundo; vilão. Introdução Um dos maiores eventos esportivos do planeta, a Copa do Mundo vai muito além de suas implicações relativas ao futebol. Mexe com imaginário de uma nação, tem capacidade de eleger heróis e vilões e, por que não, pode sintetizar conceitos e tendências de uma determinada época. Não raro, lembranças ou personagens são evocados como exemplos ou sintetizadores de determinada Copa do Mundo e, por consequência, acabam se perpetuando e ultrapassando a fronteira de um campo de jogo. -

Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
“perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! 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.
