Humor has always been a social tool by which to navigate the slings and arrows of human existence. This has been exceptionally true for historically marginalized groups, such as African-Americans. Throughout U.S. history, “Black humor” has served to challenge authority, resist domination, lampoon the powerful and assuage injustices. It has served and both balm and weapon for a cultural group that has often found itself on the outside looking in, …

Three men and two villages
This article adds to the narrative of the early Sheffield football subculture. It suggests that there were three main strands of diffusion through which the game developed in and around the city – the ideas of the former pupils of Sheffield Collegiate School, one of which, Nathaniel Creswick, became a co-founder of Sheffield FC, the first club side; the minimal influence from the major public schools, with whom members of Sheffield FC communicate…
The Power Game
In this paper the authors seek to continue the debate on the development of modern football. They note the support offered by Tony Collins to the long-standing reservations of Graham Curry and Eric Dunning regarding the weaknesses of the revisionist case, which has sought to lessen the influence of public schoolboys on the game’s early years. The authors do, however, offer some correctives to Collins’s thoughts, particularly in terms of the compl…
The ‘origins of football debate’ and the early development of the game in Nottinghamshire
This article continues the debate on the origins of football. It contains new data which note early football activity and initial club formation in Nottinghamshire. The authors reach the conclusion that former public schoolboys were prominent in the development of football in that particular area and see this as further confirmation of their hypothesis that many of these individuals should be seen as important in the establishment of football as …
The Roots of Football Hooliganism (RLE Sports Studies)
This systematic historical and sociological study of the phenomenon of football hooliganism examines the history of crowd disorderliness at association football matches in Britain and assesses both popular and academic explanations of the problem. The authors’ study starts in the 1880s, when professional football first emerged in its modern form, charting the pre and inter-war periods and revealing that England’s World Cup triumph formed a waters…
The problem with revisionism
This article attempts to redress the balance of historical interpretation in terms of the origins of the modern game of football. We analyse succinctly the new data on football outside school settings unearthed by Goulstone, Harvey and Swain which we find to be sparse and ultimately misleading. Because of this paucity of information, it is robustly contended that this information has been overemphasized by the ‘football history community’ and the…
Norbert Elias and Modern Sociology
This book explores the interplay between the making of Elias as a sociologist and the development of his core ideas relating to figurations, interdependence, and civilising processes. Focusing on the relevance of Elias's work for current debates within sociology, the authors centrally consider his contributions to the sociology of knowledge and methodology. Dunning and Hughes locate the work of Elias within a discussion of the crisis of sociology…
Testing' Elias
Aquest article «polèmic» es dedica a «posar a prova» els elements centrals de la teoria dels «processos de civilització» d’Elias en un sentit no positivista. Més concretament, el seu concepte genèric de violència es divideix en deu categories, algunes de les quals ajuden a entendre millor la guerra, el genocidi, el crim, el càstig i l’esport des d’una perspectiva a llarg termini. La presa en consideració de l’obra per part d’una sèrie d’autors, p…
Figurational/process-sociological reflections on sport and globalization
This paper falls into three parts. The first involves a general conceptual-theoretical discussion of globalization and some examples from the realm of global sport; the second involves a discussion of the development and global spread of 'soccer'; and the third involves a discussion of some sporting and/or sport-associated pathologies. Throughout, the discussion uses the figurational/process-sociological approach developed by Norbert Elias. Expre…

Dans la première, est proposée une synthèse des conclusions figurationnelles fondamentales qui montrent comment la forme du football se développa avant tout en Angleterre au 19 e siècle. Le contexte était les prestigieuses public schools et les tout aussi prestigieuses universités d'Oxford et de Cambridge. En fait, l'auteur montre comment la rivalité de statut …

Figurational Sociology and the Sociology of Sport
The figurational tradition of sociological research and theory was pioneered by Norbert Elias (1897–1990), a German of Jewish descent who became a naturalized Englishman in 1952. His work is best seen as an attempt to synthesize the central ideas of Auguste Comte, Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Sigmund Freud. Other influences were: Georg Simmel, Kurt Lewin, Wolfgang Koehler, J. B. Watson, and W. B. Cannon. Elias studied philosophy and medicine to doct…
Barbarians, Gentlemen and Players. A Sociological Study of the Developement of Rugby Football
Sociological Versus Empiricist History
This article is a reply to Tony Collins's ‘History, Sociology and the “Civilizing Process”’ (Sport in History, vol 25, No 2, August 2005, pp 289–306). In it, we accept some of Collins's criticisms, eg that, in Barbarians, Gentlemen and Players (1979; 2005), Dunning and Sheard exaggerated the levels of violence in northern rugby in the 1890s and 1900s. For the most part, however, we argue that Collins's criticisms are misplaced and we present the …

Aspects of the figurational dynamics of racial stratification
Introduction The sociological problem considered in this chapter is ostensibly simple. It is, why, after some four centuries of oppression by whites, should blacks in the United States have begun to fight back openly and on a large scale only in the 1950s and 1960s? This is not to imply that American blacks failed totally to fight back before that period but rather to suggest that the civil rights movement and the urban riots of that era marked a…
The Sociology of Norbert Elias
Norbert Elias has been described as a great sociologist and over recent years there has been a steady upsurge of interest in his work. Yet despite the fact that he was active for nearly sixty years from the 1920s to the 1960s it was only in the 1980s that English translations of his works became widely available and the importance of his contribution to the sociological endeavour was fully recognised in the English speaking world. This 2004 book …
Norbert Élias et la théorie de la civilisation
Titre d'un ouvrage fondateur de N. Élias, la notion de « Procès de Civilisation » est entrée dans la boîte à outils des sciences sociales. Paradoxalement c'est au moment où cette notion, ainsi que les concepts et la lecture du social qui l'accompagnent, connaissent une indéniable consécration que les objections critiques se multiplient.

Spectator Violence at Football Matches
The subject of this paper is 'football hooliganism'. We shall focus centrally in this connection on the pattern of fighting between rival groups that has come to be regularly associated with soccer, not only in this country but in a number of others besides. In fact, although this rarely surfaces in the press, there is scarcely a country where Association football is played where eruptions of crowd violence have not occurred, though English fans …
Dynamics of Group Sports with Special Reference to Football
Towards a Theory of Social Processes
A theory of social processes must diagnose and explain those long-term and unplanned, yet structured and directional trends in the development of social and personality structures that constitute the infrastructure of what is commonly called «history». The reception of such a theoretical approach is hampered by the self-image of contemporary sociology as a discipline primarily concerned with the present and devoted to research on short-term chang…
Sport as a Drug and Drugs in Sport
This article seeks, first, to suggest that relations between 'drug users' and members of the wider society have many of the features of an 'established-outsider' figuration as defined by Elias; second, to examine aspects of the complex interrelationships between sport and the consumption of alcohol. In this regard, reference is made to the long-standing Epicurean/Dionysian and Stoical/Puritanical conceptions of sport and to the consumption of alc…

On problems of the emotions in sport and leisure
The subject of this paper is the emotions which are aroused in sport and leisure and their significance for a full sociological understanding of sport and leisure behaviour and sport and leisure institutions. The paper deals more with sport than leisure in general and is primarily conceptual and theoretical in its focus. It advances the claim that a 'figurational' (or 'process-sociological') approach, above all Elias's theory of 'civilizing proce…
Process-Sociological Notes on Sport, Gender Relations and Violence Control
In this working paper, we apply Elias' theory of "civilizing processes" to problems of gender relations, gender identities and, less systematically, to the more deeply embodied level of gender habituses in modem sport. More particularly, we hypothesize that, because it offers an explanation of both male fears of "emasculation/feminization" and the limited growth of equality between males and females which has so far occurred in the more "advanced…

Rôle des processus sociaux dans le sport, les relations entre les sexes et le contrôle de la violence
Dans ce document de travail, nous appliquons la théorie des " processus de civilisation " d'Elias aux relations entre les sexes, à l'identité sexuelle et, moins systématiquement, aux habitus sexuels qui s'expriment à un niveau profond dans le sport moderne. Parce que cette théorie nous explique à la fois les peurs d'émasculation/féminisation des hommes et la progression limitée de l'égalité entre les sexes dans les États-nations urbains et indust…
Sport and Leisure in the Civilizing Process
Figurational sociology is associated with the writings of Norbert Elias. In his theory of 'the civilizing process' and his work on the activity of sociology, Elias devised an approach to the study of human life which is now recognized as one of the major contributions to twentieth-century social science.Working in collaboration with Eric Dunning, Elias developed a series of writings on sport and leisure. These have been so influential that in som…

Die Spaltung im Rugbysport. Die Ende des 19.

Vollzieht sich im Rugby (anders als im Cricket oder Fussball) die Trennung zwischen Amateuren und Profis, dann deshalb, weil die Probleme der "Monetarisierung" des Spiels, der Öffnung der Wettbewe…
The social roots of football hooligan violence
The authors review evidence suggesting that football hooliganism is the product of specific structural conditions. They essay a preliminary conceptualization of the ways in which these conditions generate a violent or aggressive masculine style, and attempt to establish what it is about professional football that has given it a lasting hold on the imaginations of sections of the working class. A tentative explanation of football crowd behaviour i…
