「サッカーの人類学」の理論的組み換え

文化社会現象としての問題から「情動（アフェクトゥス）」の問題へ

抄録

This article aims to build a theoretical rearrangement in the "anthropology of soccer" by reassessing Christian Bromberger's pioneering research about "the passion for soccer," while merging it with Spinoza's concept of "affectus."

In previous studies, soccer was mainly treated as a problem related to cultural or social phenomena and "identity," which Bromberger used in his ethnography, was a key concept. However, based on the author's fieldwork on the stadium of Japanese soccer club "Shonan Bellmare," Tadashi Yanai's concept of the "body social" is more effective than "identity" to understand soccer. Furthermore, to understand the "body social of soccer" more correctly, Spinoza's "affectus" is required and the "Spinozism anthropology of soccer" will emerge.

In fact, when Bromberger's research is reconsidered from the current perspective, it appears that his achievement was not to use "identity," but to comprehend soccer from a holistic perspective, which has a high affinity with Spinoza's "affectus" that allows a multilayered view. Therefore, "affectus" is indispensable for the "anthropology of soccer," which has become a more multifaceted phenomenon after globalization.
