Download or read book Citizens and Sportsmen written by Brenda Elsey and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fútbol, or soccer as it is called in the United States, is the most popular sport in the world. Millions of people schedule their lives and build identities around it. The World Cup tournament, played every four years, draws an audience of more than a billion people and provides a global platform for displays of athletic prowess, nationalist rhetoric, and commercial advertising. Fútbol is ubiquitous in Latin America, yet few academic histories of the sport exist, and even fewer focus on its relevance to politics in the region. To fill that gap, this book uses amateur fútbol clubs in Chile to understand the history of civic associations, popular culture, and politics. In Citizens and Sportsmen, Brenda Elsey argues that fútbol clubs integrated working-class men into urban politics, connected them to parties, and served as venues of political critique. In this way, they contributed to the democratization of the public sphere. Elsey shows how club members debated ideas about class, ethnic, and gender identities, and also how their belief in the uniquely democratic nature of Chile energized state institutions even as it led members to criticize those very institutions. Furthermore, she reveals how fútbol clubs created rituals, narratives, and symbols that legitimated workers' claims to political subjectivity. Her case study demonstrates that the relationship between formal and informal politics is essential to fostering civic engagement and supporting democratic practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro reconstruye minuciosamente la trayectoria de la primera organización política popular chilena, el Partido Democrático, desde su nacimiento en 1887 hasta la instauración de la dictadura de Ibáñez en 1927, período durante el cual alcanzó su máxima influencia antes de iniciar su largo y definitivo ocaso. Presenta una visión de conjunto, a la vez que detallada, de la época más importante de la vida de este partido, ofreciendo explicaciones tanto sobre su desarrollo y auge como sobre su integración al sistema parlamentarista, su creciente corrupción, distanciamiento con los movimientos sociales emergentes en la segunda y tercera década del siglo XX e inevitable decadencia.
