Abstract:
|
Using Bourdieu's concepts of field and habitus, sport is conceptualized as an arena of change in which mutually interdependent agents interact affecting one another and the field itself. This research focuses on fans as one objective position in the field. In order to describe the habitus of fans developed in part through the consumptive process, one ardent group of fans is foregrounded, fantasy sport enthusiasts. Data from an online survey, participant observation and secondary data sources facilitate the construction of a theory of fanship habitus. |
