The Last of the Working-Class Subcultures to Die? Real Tales of Football Hooligans in the Global Media Age

  • Chapter
Football Hooliganism, Fan Behaviour and Crime

Abstract

This chapter revisits long-term research work on aspects of the social, cultural and legal phenomenon of football hooliganism, part of a new theoretical trajectory in criminology and sociology which in my book We Have Never Been Postmodern: Theory at the Speed of Light (Red- head, 2011) I have called ‘post-theory’, ‘claustropolitan criminology’ and ‘claustropolitan sociology’. Elsewhere, I have suggested tentatively what such (re-)thinking might mean for new directions in criminology and sociology in general, and football hooligan research in particu- lar (Redhead, 2004; 2008; 2009; 2010; 2012). For football hooligan research, moreover, there is a chance, at last, to move away from per- spectives dominated for decades by Norbert Elias’s ‘civilizing process’ theory (Dunning et al., 1984; 1988; 1991; Dunning et al., 2002; Gibbons, 2014) but also from the ‘idealist’ perspectives which have dominated the history of critical criminological work on football hooliganism. A critical realist criminology beckons (Hall, 2012; Hall and Winlow, 2014).

“The Last of the Working-Class Subcultures” Cass Pennant, former West Ham United Inter-City Firm football hooligan, discussing the making of the documen- tary film Casuals made by his media company Urban Edge in 2011.
