Tribalismo’, fusão de identidade e torcidas organizadas de futebol na Austrália: o caso de Western Sydney
Por Jorge Dorfman Knijnik (Autor), Martha Newson (Autor).
Resumo
Os processos de formação de grupo e identidade social são fundamentais para a compreensão do comportamento humano nos domínios sociais. No futebol, os grupos ‘Ultras’ são atualmente considerados o estilo de fandom mais visível em todo o mundo do futebol. Ao unir as pessoas, esses grupos criam novas identidades sociais que os tornam um contexto ideal para a compreensão de como os humanos se comportam em contextos de grupo. Este artigo emprega a teoria da fusão de identidade para analisar um estudo de um ano do Red and Black Bloc (RBB), uma formação ultras no oeste de Sydney, Austrália. Com dados coletados por meio de entrevistas ativas, observação participante em estádios de futebol e fóruns online de torcedores, o artigo discute o conjunto de circunstâncias que compraram a RBB como uma unidade coesa. Ele conclui com um conjunto de recomendações para administradores de futebol australiano e além, oferecendo uma visão abrangente do comportamento tribal dos torcedores e como aproveitar ao máximo essas descobertas para o aprimoramento de suas ligas emergentes
