[Commlist] New book: The Sounds of Spectators at Football

Thu Apr 27 14:06:44 GMT 2023




We're pleased to announce a recent release published by Bloomsbury Academic: The Sound of Spectators at Football by Nicolai Jørgensgaard Graakjær.

The sounds of spectators at football (soccer) are often highlighted - by spectators, tourists, commentators, journalists, scholars, media producers, etc. - as crucial for the experience of football. These sounds are often said to contribute significantly to the production (at the stadium) and conveyance (in televised broadcast) of 'atmosphere.' This book addresses why and how spectator sounds contribute to the experience of watching in these environments and what characterizes spectator sounds in terms of their structure, distribution and significance. Based on an examination of empirical materials - including the sounds of football matches from the English Premier League as they emerge both at the stadium and in the televised broadcast - this book systematically dissects the sounds of football watching.

Contents

1. Introductions
2. Overview of existing contributions
3. The stadium setting
4. The setting of the televised broadcast
