For the Love of the Game?: Football and Hate Crime

这是第一次，为了游戏的爱？将广泛的利益相关者、创造性实践者和跨学科学者网络聚集在一起，探讨仇恨犯罪在足球中的表现，如种族主义、宗派主义、宗教仇恨、基于性别的暴力和同性恋恐惧症。这是及时的，因为黑人生命也是启动了对种族主义在社会中的影响的思考。此外，仇恨犯罪在以前的大流行期间有所增加(如艾滋病毒)，并可能在新冠肺炎之后继续和改变。该项目的创新之处在于，试图了解男子气概在足球仇恨犯罪再现中的作用。虽然体育场中仇恨犯罪的口头表达大幅减少，但这并不意味着这种现象已经消失，特别是在社交媒体或基层比赛中。作为一种全球流行的文化休闲追求，足球给了我们一个与一系列参与者互动的重要空间。为了理解这些表现，这个及时的项目将追求四个核心目标：(1)发展超越足球协会、联盟和俱乐部的跨学科和有影响力的网络；(2)利用这个网络来建立关于仇恨犯罪在足球中的表现以及如何挑战它的知识；(3)集中男子气概在足球仇恨犯罪再现中的作用以及如何应对(4)使用创造性的方法来促进这种知识的产生和传播。这个网络竞标的重点是英国背景下的男子业余和职业足球的球员和球迷，同时借鉴欧洲的特定专业知识。这六个研讨会(见下文)将为当前的研究和未来的挑战提供一个活跃的辩论环境，将学者、政策制定者、足球当局和球迷团体聚集在一起。研讨会将在英国(和柏林)的不同地区举行，利用创造性的活动吸引不同的参与者，同时优先考虑仇恨犯罪的地方特征，并对更广泛的国家和全球趋势做出回应。研讨会将有艺术促进者(Counterpoint Art的Nike Jonah、Fanzine制片人Hamja Ahsan和剧作家Hassan Mahamdallie)参加，他们将使用创造性的方法(包括故事板、戏剧、拼贴、卡通)来确定关键问题、主题和潜在的解决方案，并为两个具体的产出(插图粉丝和短片)提供信息。这六个活动将探讨以下相互关联的主题：1.设定参数：足球中的仇恨犯罪(布莱顿)2.体育场中的仇恨犯罪(南安普顿)3.网络虐待：社交媒体和仇恨犯罪(格拉斯哥)4.草根比赛中的仇恨(利物浦)5.欧洲视角(柏林)6.前进之路(传播活动)：球迷和当局如何解决足球中的仇恨犯罪(格拉斯哥)为了鼓励球迷团体和政策制定者并从他们那里获得见解，我们为这些群体组织了所有研讨会的资金。通过这样做，我们的目标是提供一个关键但与政策相关的论坛，在这个论坛中可以更好地了解仇恨犯罪的做法和影响。为此，将有几项公共、学术和政策重点的产出。其中包括一本范兹，它将说明什么是仇恨犯罪，以及个人如何挑战其表达方式。将制作三个短片，突出仇恨犯罪如何在不同的空间背景下(精英阶层、草根阶层、在线)发生的一些关键原因，以及如何在机构内部和游戏中的文化变化中解决它。此外，还将编写一份执行报告和立场文件，为决策者提供明确的指导。除了这些以公众为重点的产出外，还将制作一本学术编辑的书籍。项目细节和产出将放在一个专门的网站上，供公众传播。

For the first time, For the Love of the Game? brings together a wide network of stakeholders, creative practitioners, and interdisciplinary academics to explore the manifestation of hate crime in football, such as racism, sectarianism, religious-hate, gender-based violence, and homophobia. It is timely because Black Lives Matter has initiated reflection on the impact of racism in society. Also, hate crime has increased during previous pandemics (eg HIV) and is likely to continue and change following covid-19. Innovatively, the project seeks to understand the role of masculinity in the reproduction of hate crime in football. Whilst there has been a significant reduction in the verbal expression of hate crime in stadiums, this does not mean that the phenomenon has disappeared, particularly on social media or in grassroots matches. As a globally popular cultural leisure pursuit, football gives us a critical space to engage with a range of participants.To understand these manifestations, this timely project will pursue four core objectives: (1) to develop interdisciplinary and impactful networks beyond football associations, leagues and clubs; (2) use this network to build knowledge of the manifestation of hate crime in football, and how it can be challenged; (3) centralise the role of masculinity in the reproduction of hate crime in football and how it can be confronted (4) use creative approaches to facilitate production and dissemination of this knowledge.The focus of this networking bid is players and fans of men's amateur and professional football in the British context, whilst drawing on specific expertise from Europe. The six workshops (see below) will provide a context for lively debate of current research and future challenges, bringing together academics, policymakers, football authorities, and fan groups. The workshops will take place across different parts of the UK (and Berlin) using creative activities to engage diverse participants, whilst prioritising local features of hate crime and responding to wider national and global trends. Workshops will involve artistic facilitators (Nike Jonah of Counterpoint Arts, fanzine producer Hamja Ahsan, and playwright Hassan Mahamdallie) who will use creative approaches (including storyboarding, drama, collage, cartooning) to identify the key issues, themes and potential solutions, and to inform two specific outputs (an illustrated fanzine and short films). The six events will explore the following inter-related themes: 1. Setting the parameters: hate crime in football (Brighton)2. Hate crime in the stadium (Southampton) 3. Online abuse: social media and hate crime (Glasgow) 4. Hate in the grassroots game (Liverpool)5. The European perspective (Berlin)6. The way forward (dissemination event): how fans and authorities can tackle hate crime in football (Glasgow)To encourage and gain insights from fan groups and policy makers, we have organised funding across all workshop sessions for these groups. In doing so we aim to provide a critical, yet policy relevant, forum in which the practice and impact of hate crime can be better understood.To this end there will be several public, academic and policy-focused outputs. This includes a fanzine that will illustrate what is hate crime and how individuals can challenge its expression. Three short videos will be produced that highlight some of the key reasons how hate crime occurs across different spatial contexts (elite levels, grassroots, online), and how it can be tackled within institutions and cultural change within the game. In addition, an executive report and position paper will be produced to provide to provide clear guidance for policymakers. Alongside these public-focused outputs, an academic edited book will also be produced. Project details and outputs will be housed on a dedicated website for public dissemination.
