摘要 为应对 2017 年英国恐怖袭击，小伙子足球联盟 (FLA) 和后来的民主小伙子足球联盟 (DFLA) 成立。自称是街头抗议运动，鼓励竞争对手的“足球公司”拒绝激烈的敌对行动，联合起来反对伊斯兰极端主义和它认为威胁英国及其文化、价值观和生活方式的极端分子。作为英国反圣战运动的新化身，本文提供了新的见解，了解该运动及其组成部分如何在日益多样化的身份和社会政治问题背后动态地识别和动员起来。本文贡献了关于 FLA 和 DFLA 的新知识，这两个知识都没有受到学术探究，本文为萌芽中的学术经典做出了及时的贡献。本文以反圣战运动为背景，探讨了“足球”如何为 FLA 和 DFLA 提供了共同的身份来动员起来。强调这与其他极右翼和反圣战组织的不同之处，他们的意识形态和活动与其建立、支持基础和职能有关。总之，本文将这两个群体置于新社会运动的“以身份为导向”的范式中，作为提供新理解和解释的手段。
ABSTRACT In response to 2017’s terror attacks in Britain, the Football Lads Alliance (FLA) and latterly, the Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA) were formed. Self-described as street-protest movements that encourage rival ‘football firms’ to reject acrimonious hostilities to unite against the Islamist extremism and extremists it believes are threatening Britain, its culture, values and way of life. As new incarnations of the British counter-jihad movement, this article affords new insights into how the movement and constituent parts are dynamically identifying and mobilising behind an increasingly diverse range of identities and socio-political issues. Contributing new knowledge about the FLA and DFLA, neither of which have been subjected to scholarly inquiry, this article makes a timely contribution to an embryonic scholarly canon. Contextualising the counter-jihad movement, this article explores how ‘football’ afforded the FLA and DFLA with a shared identity around which to mobilise. Highlighting how this is different to other far-right and counter-jihadi groups, their ideologies and activities are explored in relation to their establishment, support base and function. In conclusion, this article positions both groups within an ‘identity-oriented’ paradigm of new social movements as a means of offering new understanding and explanation.
