Med dets store variasjon når det gjelder metoder, teoretiske innfallsvinkler og forskningstemaer, i tillegg til den økende interessen for slike analyser utenfor akademia, er dette med andre ord et felt som bør fremheves også i norsk sosiologi. Sosiologi i dag inviterer derfor til et temanummer om sport.

This special issue of JSSI aims to bring attention to this important but understudied area by probing the sport documentary’s cultural meanings, aesthetic practices, industrial and commercial dimensions, and political contours across historical, social, and geographic contexts.

The issue aims to bring together activist and academic voices in discussing the current ‘state of play’, lessons learned and future possible directions of football fan mobilizations ‘from below’ given the changing political climate in Europe as well as the commercial character of ‘modern football’.
