Athletic Club Overview Founded in 1898 Most successful Club outside of Real Madrid and Barcelona Founded by British steel ship yard workers Cantera Policy Home grown Owned by fans socios 8. Habitus and Bilbao the habitus is a system of dispositions, constituted bydurable, learned schemes of perception, thought andaction which individuals learn through socialisationand their daily encounters with objective socialstructures called fields in the work of Bourdieu which place requirements and incumbencies upon itsmembers that are subsequently absorbed into thehabitus. Sean Morrissey 9. Habitus of Bilbao Enam Gartziar: Our fathers are not originally from here, they are from Zaragoza and Lyon but have always supported the beliefs of Bilbao and the football club. 10. Influence of Football The regulated and codified form of football, which penalised violent and ungentlemanly conduct, came to be welcomed by the bourgeoisie and subsequently, the working classes became increasingly embourgeoisified - Sean Morrissey 11. Influence of Football Vie Cazmen: The philosophy of the team makes us feel very special and unique because there are no football players from other parts of Europe. The club is not in the market of business and it not the question of how much you can pay for football players but feeling of Basque, feeling of good players like its a dream for that player to play for the club. We believe that this philosophy of belonging is the reason and its not that you have to be born in Bilbao; you can be born in Africa e.t.c. 12. Influence of Football Subcultural Capital The non-financial and social assets of a culture that is (in some form) differentiated from the larger culture to which it operates within, or belongs. (A neotribe) 13. Influence of Football Neotribalism is the ideology that human beings have evolved to live in tribal society, as opposed to mass society, and thus will naturally form social networks constituting new "tribes. 14. Liminality Part 1 Removed from familiar environments Part 2 Liminal Space, not ruled by the environment from which they came, not yet invested in new environment Part 3 Emergence, the application of insights, inner stirrings, new respect for diversity seen in others 15.

The City, The Space underlying nearly all leisure forms is a characteristicwhich most liberal and radical writers tend to pass overin silence; self consciousness. If we are aware of thesignificance of our leisure activity whether it can besaid to be good or bad, whether it has high or lowstatus can we really be said to be free? (Rojek 1993:4) 20. Characteristics of a city Bourgeois Culture Human Nature Leisure and Reward 21. Characteristics of a city leisure can not be enjoyed unless it is won by effort, ifit have not been earned by work, the price has notbeen paid for it ... but the leisure without the work,can no more be enjoyed than surfeit (Smiles 1894:93) 22. Characteristics of a city Maps are full of references and indications, but they are not peopled. You often need a map to get around a city, its subways system its streets. But the preliminary orientation hardly exhausts the reality in which you find (Bird, J. Et al 1993:188) 23. Characteristics of a city Landscape as human activity Culturalism Spains hegemony over the Basque Country 24. Characteristics of a city in the primitive view, land is not a thing that can becut into pieces and sold as parcels. Land if not a pieceof space within a large spatial system. On the contrary,it is seen term of social relations the people as part ofnature, are intimately linked to the land (Sack1980:22) 25. Use of Space in Bilbao What space means? What does Bilbao look like today? 26. Football as Commodity A game for the working classes? Highly profitable industry Athletics fierce preservation of identity 27. Football as Commodity sport stars have a similar status to rock and moviestars and are not key figures in the celebritylandscape Ellis Cashmore 28. Virtual Space Promoting engagement and interactivity Professional Blog Facebook, Twitter ect. 29. SummaryWe have covered: How Bilbao remain economically stable How space is used in cities in relation to Bilbao The origins of Basque nationalism How football constructs habitus in social city scapes The way football is changing as a result ofcommodification How identity has been attempted to be preserved byAthletic Bilbao 30. Conclusion Neo-Liberal policy and attitude has forced AthleticBilbao to conform to the consumerism of the modernworld to retain financial stability Bilbao is still affected by the hegemony of the rulingcountry, Spain and is yet to gain independence. Bilbao is consistent with wanting to keep their ownidentity and sense of regionalism and nationalism. 31. The Next Step Look further across Spain to gain understanding of the intricate fractions that exist in Spanish society and culture. More extensive primary research to carry out more accurate field research. Conducting a full ethnographic study 32. Thank you for listeningWe would now like to open the floor to questions 33.
