Abstract

On the basis of the fieldwork carried out with supporters of the Club Atlético Aldosivi de Mar del Plata, we propose an analysis of their behavioural logic. By taking the ritual of the supporter’s travel as a key body, both ethnographic and conceptually, it is intended to give an account of the representations that football fans put into play in a daily struggle to define their own identity. For the supporters of Argentinian football teams, travel at visitor matches is genuine identity institution rituals enabling them to renew their pasional contract with their team. These journeys form a community festive atmosphere of consumption (alcohol and drugs) and mood states, in which supporters gain a sense of belonging to an exclusive universe of different passion and acute passion. Those who, for the first time, feel differently, more supporters than others, who are not willing to travel and who are therefore not genuine supporters. Because “going from visitor”, you play where you play, while hitting, is one of the central points of the men’s honour of the supporters. As creators of liminality, these rites involve both a passage and an identity institution. This paper presents an analysis of the logic of the behaviour of football providers of Club Atlético Aldosivi based on Fieldwork carried out among them. The ritual of travel of the hindered (fan base) appears as a key ethnographic and theoretical resource in explaining the representation that football providers put in play in their daily instruction to define their own identity. Argentinean inflated (fans) construct, in the routine of their journeys to away games, rites of institution that permit them to renew the passionate contract with their beloved team. In these Travels, they form a festive atmosphere in which the consumption of substances such as marijuana and alcohol guide them to a sense of belonging to an exclusive universe by different passions and imperatives. Tose who experience these rituals conder themselves to be true supporters, compared to the others who are not able to follow the team everywhere. This is a crucial point granted to be part of the visiting team “whether the team may play, during all” is one of the central points of the male honour of the fans. As a liminal situations, these rites constitute both a passage and an identifying institution.
