Fictional Representations of English Football and Fan Cultures

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores how recent football fiction has negotiated the decisive political developments in English football after the 1989/90 publication of the 'Taylor Report'. A direct response to the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster and growing concerns of hooliganism, the 'Taylor Report' suggested a number of measures for stricter regulation of fan crowds. In consequence, stadiums in the top divisions were turned into all-seated venues and were put under CCTV surveillance. The implementation of these measures reduced violent incidents drastically, but it also led to an unparalleled increase in ticket prices, which in turn significantly altered the demographics of the crowd. This development, which also enabled football's entry into other mainstream cultural forms, changed the game decisively. Piskurek traces patterns across prose and film to detect how these fictions have responded to the changed circumstances of post-Taylor football. Lending a cultural lens to these political changes, this book is pioneering in its analysis of football fiction as a whole, offering a fresh perspective to a range of scholars and students interested in cultural studies, sociology, leisure and politics.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Last Piece of the Pie is introduced to provoke the potential reader to think—what could this book be about? (Out of body experience) And now one is entering into my seven soul light dreams filled with fictional events, intended to provoke the readers’ imagination about my unknown spirit, soul, and travel. My vision—through travel, without a human state—has so many variables, that one needs to read each chapter, to get the full meaning of my book of dreams. The drama built around the four seasons—winter, spring, summer, and fall—will bring tears to one’s eyes while reading about the wonders of the new world (what a dream). The (7) dreams will also introduce one to the soul light pledge—vision. With the pledge vision, one will be able to have one’s own book. Believe it or not. My seven dreams are about what one should see—and feel—to learn how to mediate (mind over matter) and get away from repetitive events. Go to the ocean and feel the energy from the water. Go to the mountains and feel the energy. Go to the desert and feel the energy that helps one to sustain life! Feel the air (vision, thought). Appreciate what old Mother Nature has provided for us. One has entered into my soul light dreams of life reality. (Now write your book). I truly believe that my (7) dreams is my conviction leading one into the big wheel of life—life is like a puzzle. In order to fulfill out the part, one must play his own part. Old Mother Earth is the big wheel of life’s reality. One day all our soul light dreams will be together as one big wheel of life—always turning for a better way of life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book does nothing less than redefine the very genre of horror fiction, calling into question the usual conventions, motifs, and elements. Unlike many critics of this genre, Linda Holland-Toll sees dis/affirmative horror fiction acting neither to soothe fears nor reduce them to the vicarious “thrills ‘n’ chills” mode, but as intensifying the fears inherent in everyday life.
