Subject: AUT: Hooliganism and class composition
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 12:52:40 +0000


Hello all,

I'm writing a article about immaterial workers and the cuture industries in 
Britain and currently looking for articles to back up some thoughts I have 
about parallel yet diverging forms of class power in the workplace and 
leisure environments and the state's reaction to these forms of power. 
Namely I would like to propose the phenomenon of football hooliganism, other 
forms of class delinquency and its attendant cycle of media hysteria as a 
parallel narrative to the defeat of 'heroic' labour in the miners struggle 
in 1980's Britain. I know Stuart Hall's article 'Policing the Crisis' covers 
some of these tensions, but can anyone point me in the direction of good 
texts online about hooliganism and class composition? I'm trying to focus on 
the UK, but obviously any really good analysis of these issues would be 
useful for me at the moment.

Thanks
Anthony Iles
