ABSTRACT

This exploratory paper examines the potential value of working with the concept of ‘epithets’ in football. We discuss that their variability and their possible significance in illuminating ways would-be football connoisseurs are able to internalize an archive of footballing memories – some directly experienced, others reflect on second-hand. We conclude that epithets contain their own message about the past and prevailing social relationships in football where they act as bearers of collective memory, operating through space and time and across national borders and cultures.

名称游戏：绰号在维护足球道德权威中的作用

摘要

这篇探索性论文探讨了在足球中使用“绰号”概念的潜在价值。我们讨论了它们的可变性和它们在启发未来足球鉴赏家能够内化足球记忆档案方面的可能意义——有些是直接经历的，有些则是二手反思。我们的结论是，绰号包含他们自己关于过去和足球中盛行的社会关系的信息，在这些关系中，它们充当集体记忆的承载者，跨越时空，跨越国界和文化。
