Editor's Note:
Summary: ”The last Men. An ethnography of a Terrace” The first chapter of the book is an manifesto analysis of the great changes football suffered in the last twenty years. It is, if you will, an academic "translation" of the cause of ultras around the world: ”No al calcio moderno”. The chapter is indispensable to understand the broader context of football commodification and the role of the fanatic supporter in this scenery. I have reproduced the "radar" of Giulianotti (2002), identifying four defining types of football fans: ultras, with the most intense affiliation, building subcultural communities around the club, the stand supporter, which will attend home matches, suffering passionately depending on the score, the fan, which will usually be watching TV many kilometers away from the favorites, and the flaneur, a product of postmodernism, which will support simultaneously rival teams and will be less a football spectator by excellence and rather a "consumer" of show and entertainment.Following the brief analysis of the evolution of football from modernity to postmodernity, from localism to globalism, where this sport gets to turn out from a feast of the working class to a hyper industry show, I left the field diary speak for the ultras, moreover the reference group. Chapter II includes a number of ethnographic situations that sketch a picture of routines and practices of the ultras for "outsiders". What I suppose surprises after reading this part is a very different picture on this group than the one presented by mainstream media and institutions. At the same time, it captures many ethnographic situations which have no direct link with football, the ultras having an unseen existence, far from camera lenses at the derbys or from spectators' eyes at weekend matches in Ștefan cel Mare. Ultras will be a collective character to commemorate a hero, at a wedding of a colleague, at a party, just as they thoroughly do at every game. Although I had no strategy of dismantling myths about them, certain parts of the ethnographic scheme do that. One is their homophobia, moderated by "give a voice to the defendants". Ultras culture is constantly changing and adapting to the global phenomenon they are part of.The third chapter demonstrates that the ultras share a "culture of participation", their carnivalesque over the weekend is much more than a spectacle of lights and color, being always connected to what's socially important. A high-level corruption case, joining a political protest or the passing of a comrade from another terrace, may be more important events than the football game itself. I used the term "cultural performances" to frame these practices. They are specific to the entire area of the ultras, from Lisbon to the Caucasus. I stopped for a few paragraphs at the analysis of the so-called hate speech, as NGO "experts" like to appoint insults on stadiums. What we have shown is that the ultras use widely considered insulting linguistic tricks to humiliate opponents. Basically, we are talking about a game simulating "the armies" with flags, anthems, and "ultras soldiers" who defend the honor of the team or of the terrace. Insults manichean aims the helplessness or promiscuous identity of the others, that are not as good "soldiers" as those who chant.Also, the Romanian ultras hate speech is a symbolic one, coming from the need for "turning to ridiculous" / symbolic humiliation of the opponents, a specific element of this culture. Verbal violence is rooted in "homology" / collective participation involving common identity, belonging, sharing a "hard" type masculinity (Goffman, 1959). Ultras play a default role (strong male) who have to be automatically interiorized when in the gallery. In terms of recommendations, I see as indispensable: I. to facilitate communication between state institutions and organized supporters at football matches and II. Closer monitoring by the CNA and specialized NGOs both of the veracity and objectivity of press information about organized groups of fans, as well as messages that galleries are displaying. From my findings, when we look at the concept of violence in general, I see as essential to look upon the idea of "honor" in the Mediterranean and, respectively, Balkans, so you can understand it. For the ultras, violence is a performative act and is connected to the ideas of honor and masculinity to which they must performatively respond. That's why, perhaps, it is so important to define the circumstances and the endless retelling of violent incidents in the history of the terrace.It is worth mentioning that Romanian ultras movement has transformed as did the Romanian society in the same period. Thus, in the early '90s we had brigades, formed as neighborhood clans, following the mid-2000s they became more heterogeneous. If at the beginning the phenomenon of imitation was after the Italian model, through media, in ten years, self-colonization led to a ra...
