dc.description.abstractSoccer in Turkey has in recent decades become increasingly commodified. This process has been reinforced by a national law passed in 2011 that promises to prevent violence in the stands and civilize fandom. For upper-middle-class fans, the new cleaned-up version of soccer secures class distinction, but among less affluent and working-class fans, it has inspired resistance. Class conflict is here indexed through contestations over what it means to be a true fan and especially the quality of one's love for the team. Working-class fans often describe their love as maddening or self-sacrificing, while more affluent fans, sponsors, and administrators associate love with consumption. In the context of increasing political repression, fan resistance to commodification is discursively entangled with love and violence.en_US

dc.description.sponsorshipI am grateful to the fans who shared with me their stories and the most immediate expressions of their joy and grief. I thank the bloggers, players, referees, administrators, journalists, and sponsors whose contributions allowed me to grasp love as a contestation. I thank Matthew Gutmann, Paja Faudree, Marcy Brink-Danan, Ayse Parla, Richard Giulianotti, Inna Leykin, Magnus Pharao Hansen, John McManus, Can Evren, Sohini Kar, and Andrew Hodges for their insightful comments at various stages of research and writing. I also thank American Ethnologist's reviewers, Niko Besnier, and Pablo Morales for their very thoughtful feedback. Funds for this research were partly provided by the Middle East Research Competition.en_US
