The Sounds of Spectators at Football
Graakjær, Professor or Dr. Nicolai Jørgensgaard (Professor of Music and Sound, Aalborg University, Denmark)
Spectator sounds in football (soccer) settings 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, meaning, and function. 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 mediated settings (television, radio, video games) - this book systematically dissects the sounds of football watching.
