A curriculum of masculinities in football stadia

This article analyses different masculinities in football stadia and seeks to discern in what way they are hierarchised, revealing how the actions of fans, their songs, their clothing and their banners are involved in the construction of these subjects' masculinities. The stadia develop a pedagogy: one learns when and what to shout, when to keep silent and about what, what and how to feel... The article argues that the concept of curriculum constructed in the football stadia can be thought of as acts which the subjects are repeatedly invited to practice. These practices are systematized in the article in four axes: guts, determination and struggle; violence and socialization; a male love; subaltern masculinities.
