| Abstract | "Insurgent Fandom offers a behind-the-scenes look at a transnational subculture known to few-ultra. As the most dedicated soccer fans, ultras support their team through collective singing, jumping, flag-waving, and lighting marine flares. While this performative style of support cultivates atmosphere in the arena, author Max Jack argues that it simultaneously serves to protest the capitalistic tendencies of professional sport, informed by ultras' constant friction with the state, the mainstream media, and the commercial priorities of sports' governing bodies. Embracing a politic of dissent at the heart of crowd action, Insurgent Fandom highlights stadia as a breeding ground for alternative social and political possibilities"-- Provided by publisher. |
