Producers of the highly successful, award-winning Liverpool FC podcast Anfield Wrap shared their experiences with University of Huddersfield Journalism and Media students on January 30,, 2018. Undergraduate students were able to learn about the creation of professional-quality participatory media, as well as the importance of being part of – and sometimes speaking for – a fan community and a locality.
Members and affiliates of the Centre presented a panel at MeCCSA 2018 at London South Bank University. The panel -- From “Subcultural Fandom” to “Brand Fans”: Participatory Culture, Creativity and Agency – featured papers from Dr. Sophie van de Goor on fans’ use of tagging, Professor Matt Hills on algorithms and fandom, and Dr. Richard McCulloch on moments of non-participation at sing-along-a-Frozen events at the Prince Charles Cinema, London.
Professor Matt Hills gave one of the keynote addresses at the inaugural Fan Studies Network Australasia Symposium. This was based at the University of Wollongong in December 2017, and there are plans to publish a selection of papers in the open-access online journal Participations.

Call for Papers
When it comes to football and its relationship with the society, Turkey is a unique case. Known as a football-passionate nation comparable to Brazil, Turkey has enjoyed important successes in the world arena, such the third place in the 2002 World Cup, the semi-final in Euro 2008, and Galatasaray’s UEFA Cup and Super Cup victories in 2000.
On the other hand, as the country itself, the football world in Turkey presents complex peculiarities that are very difficult to understand for neutral observers. Born into the final years of the Ottoman Empire, football not only witnessed the birth of a new, modern nation-state, from day one, it became a vital part of Turkish modernism, along with other key concepts such as nationalism or secularism. Football also portrays an accurate picture of how the centre-periphery relationship plays a role within society, since the vast majority of football fans in Turkey support three Istanbulite teams, which function as “micro-nations” with around twenty millions of fans each, in the country and among Turkey’s diaspora communities. Football has also become a battlefield for political, social and cultural divisions, which makes the case of Turkey even more appealing for football scholars.
On April 28, CEVIPOL at Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Centre for Participatory Culture at the University of Huddersfield organise an online conference to discuss this unique football country through different aspects that concern social sciences and invite submissions, on subjects including (but not limited to) below:
- Football and politics in Turkey
- Football fandom in Turkey
- Cultural aspects of football
- Minority issues in football
- Gender and LGBTI+ issues in football
- Disabilities and football
- Immigration and football
- Economics of football
- Football and diplomacy
Please send an abstract of no more than 250 words along with a short biographical statement by March 26, 2021 to footballinturkey2021@gmail.com with the subject header “Football in Turkey 2021”
Football en Turquie 2021
28 Avril 2021
Online conference
Appel a contribution
La Turquie est un cas unique pour ses relations entre le football et sa relation avec la société. Connue comme une nation passionnée de football. Elle a connu d'importants succès sur la scène mondiale, comme la troisième place à la Coupe du monde 2002, la demi-finale de l'Euro 2008 et les victoires de Galatasaray en Coupe UEFA et en Super Coupe en 2000.
De plus, comme le pays lui-même, le monde du football en Turquie présente des particularités complexes qui sont difficiles à comprendre pour les observateurs. Né dans les dernières années de l'Empire ottoman, le football a non seulement vu naître un nouvel État-nation moderne, mais il est devenu dès le premier jour un élément essentiel du modernisme turc, au même titre que d'autres concepts clés tels que le nationalisme ou la laïcité. Le football donne également une image précise de la manière dont la relation centre-périphérie joue un rôle au sein de la société, puisque la grande majorité des fans de football en Turquie soutiennent trois équipes d'Istanbul, qui fonctionnent comme des "micro-nations" avec environ vingt millions de fans chacune, dans le pays et parmi les communautés de la diaspora. Le football est également devenu un champ de bataille pour les divisions politiques, sociales et culturelles, ce qui rend le cas de la Turquie encore plus attrayant pour les spécialistes du football.
Le 28 avril 2021, le Cevipol de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles et le Centre pour les Cultures Participatives de l'Université de Huddersfield organisent une conférence en ligne pour discuter de ce pays de football à travers différents aspects qui concernent les sciences sociales et invitent à soumettre des contributions, sur des sujets incluant (mais non limités à) les sujets ci-dessous :
- Le football et la politique en Turquie
- Le fandom du football en Turquie
- Aspects culturels du football
- Les questions relatives aux minorités dans le football
- Les questions de genre et de LGBTI+ dans le football
- Les handicaps et le football
- L'immigration et le football
- L'économie du football
- Le football et la diplomatie
Veuillez envoyer un résumé de 250 mots maximum, accompagné d'une courte notice biographique, avant le 26 mars 2021 à footballinturkey2021@gmail.com avec pour sujet "Football in Turkey 2021".
