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

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.
