  • From Custom to Code. a Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football
    From Custom to Code From Custom to Code A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football Dominik Döllinger Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Humanistiska teatern, Engelska parken, Uppsala, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Associate Professor Patrick McGovern (London School of Economics). Abstract Döllinger, D. 2021. From Custom to Code. A Sociological Interpretation of the Making of Association Football. 167 pp. Uppsala: Department of Sociology, Uppsala University. ISBN 978-91-506-2879-1. The present study is a sociological interpretation of the emergence of modern football between 1733 and 1864. It focuses on the decades leading up to the foundation of the Football Association in 1863 and observes how folk football gradually develops into a new form which expresses itself in written codes, clubs and associations. In order to uncover this transformation, I have collected and analyzed local and national newspaper reports about football playing which had been published between 1733 and 1864. I find that folk football customs, despite their great local variety, deserve a more thorough sociological interpretation, as they were highly emotional acts of collective self-affirmation and protest. At the same time, the data shows that folk and early association football were indeed distinct insofar as the latter explicitly opposed the evocation of passions, antagonistic tensions and collective effervescence which had been at the heart of the folk version. Keywords: historical sociology, football, custom, culture, community Dominik Döllinger, Department of Sociology, Box 624, Uppsala University, SE-75126 Uppsala, Sweden.

Recent years have seen progress in games with in- economy and the AlphaZero algorithm, to name a few. In two-player creasingly many states: both perfect information (e.g. backgammon zero-sum games, the challenge is usually viewed as finding Nash [79], checkers [66], chess, [15], Hex [1] and Go [73]) and imperfect equilibrium strategies, safeguarding against exploitation regardless information (e.g. Poker [53] and Starcraft [85]). of the opponent. While this captures the intricacies of chess or Go, The Minimax theorem [81] states that every finite zero-sum two- it avoids the notion of cooperation with co-players, a hallmark of player game has an optimal mixed strategy.
