项目摘要

Sport has played an important part in the lives of British people for centuries and millions of people have been involved in sport as fans. Yet surprising little is known about women's experiences as sports fans historically, so there is an urgent need for research to address this before such memories and experiences are entirely lost to time. Barely any studies have examined the intersections between playing and watching sport and so there is a need for research to examine women's early sporting experiences and how these shape their future involvement in sport and to examine female fans involvement in sport across their lifetimes. Little work has examined the cross sport perceptions of fans of men's football and rugby union in order to consider the extent to which sporting preferences and cross sport perceptions are linked to historical social class differences. This proposed research will make a major contribution towards addressing these areas, making a highly original and important contribution to knowledge.The research will build on Pope's (2010) original study through a comparative study of female fans of men's and women's sports in the North East of England. We draw on four sports' clubs from the county of Tyne and Wear: men's football (Newcastle United FC); men's rugby (Newcastle Falcons); women's football (Sunderland AFC Ladies) and women's netball (Team Northumbria). Arguably, the North East has historically been more male-dominated than other areas of England, thus providing a fascinating landscape to explore women's experiences as sports fans and how women have gained access to the traditionally male domain of sport across the generations. The research aims to examine women's experiences as sports fans in Britain during the second half of the twentieth century. It will also focus upon the critical intersections between sports participation and fandom and will examine how women's early sporting experiences influence their future involvement in sport. The study will focus upon the cross sport perceptions of supporters and the role of historical social class differences in sporting preferences. The research aims to address the following questions:1. What have been the experiences of female fans of men's and women's sports from 1945-2000? What role has sports fandom played in the lives of female fans across their lifetimes?2. To what extent is there a relationship between playing and watching sport for female fans? What is the role of physical education and other early sporting experiences in shaping females' future involvement in sport?3. How do female fans view other sports in the local region? To what extent has sports fandom historically been important for community heritage and local identities?We will achieve these aims by conducting approximately 25 life-history interviews with female fans from our four selected sports clubs, which will mean around 100 respondents in total. Respondents will also be asked if they have any visual images of their involvement in sport and copies will be taken where permission is granted. The research draws on a feminist framework to study sports history and will make a major contribution to the fields of history and sport. As the research draws on an interdisciplinary approach it will also be of interest to researchers working in gender studies, physical education, sociology, popular culture and regional studies. We will publish a research monograph from the research, along with a number of journal papers. Academic conferences will be organised in the UK and with our project partner at the University of British Columbia in Canada to disseminate findings. The research will be beneficial for: charities such as the National Football Museum and Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation; the general public; governing bodies of sport; the selected sports clubs and national government departments. We have planned a series of events to ensure that this wider impact is achieved.

几个世纪以来，体育运动在英国人民的生活中发挥了重要作用，数百万人作为球迷参与了体育运动。然而，令人惊讶的是，历史上对女性作为体育迷的经历知之甚少，因此迫切需要研究来解决这个问题，以免这些记忆和经历完全消失。几乎没有任何研究探讨了玩和看体育运动之间的交叉点，因此有必要进行研究，以研究妇女的早期体育经验，以及这些如何塑造他们未来参与体育运动，并研究女性球迷在其一生中参与体育运动。很少有工作研究了男子足球和橄榄球联盟的球迷的跨运动的看法，以考虑在何种程度上体育偏好和跨运动的看法是与历史的社会阶层差异。这项拟议的研究将对解决这些领域做出重大贡献，对知识做出高度原创和重要的贡献。这项研究将建立在Pope（2010）的原始研究基础上，通过对英格兰东北部男女体育运动的女性粉丝进行比较研究。我们吸引了泰恩-威尔郡的四个体育俱乐部：男子足球（纽卡斯尔联队）;男子橄榄球（纽卡斯尔猎鹰队）;女子足球（桑德兰亚足联女子队）和女子无挡板篮球（诺森布里亚队）。可以说，东北部在历史上比英格兰其他地区更受男性主导，因此提供了一个迷人的景观，以探索女性作为体育迷的经历，以及女性如何在几代人中获得传统的男性体育领域。这项研究旨在考察世纪后半叶英国女性作为体育迷的经历。它还将侧重于体育参与和球迷之间的关键交叉点，并将研究妇女早期的体育经历如何影响她们未来参与体育运动。本研究将着重探讨支持者的跨运动知觉，以及历史社会阶层差异在运动偏好中的作用。本研究旨在解决以下问题：1.从1945年到2000年，男女运动的女球迷有什么经历？体育迷在女性球迷的一生中扮演了什么角色？2.对于女性球迷来说，玩和看体育运动之间的关系在多大程度上是？体育教育和其他早期运动经历在塑造女性未来参与体育运动方面的作用是什么？3.女性球迷如何看待当地的其他体育运动？体育迷在历史上对社区遗产和地方身份的重要性有多大？我们将通过对来自四个选定体育俱乐部的女性球迷进行约25次生活史访谈来实现这些目标，这意味着总共约有100名受访者。受访者还将被问及他们是否有任何参与体育运动的视觉图像，并在获得许可的情况下进行复制。本研究从女性主义的角度对体育史进行研究，将对历史和体育领域做出重大贡献。由于这项研究采用了跨学科的方法，从事性别研究、体育、社会学、流行文化和区域研究的研究人员也会感兴趣。我们将出版一本研究专著，沿着一些期刊论文。学术会议将在英国举行，并与我们的项目合作伙伴在加拿大的不列颠哥伦比亚省大学举行，以传播研究结果。这项研究将有益于：国家足球博物馆和妇女运动和健身基金会等慈善机构;公众;体育管理机构;选定的体育俱乐部和国家政府部门。我们计划了一系列活动，以确保实现这一更广泛的影响。
