Abstract

ROLDAN, Diego P.. Circulation, Dissemination and Massification: Football in Rosario (Argentina) 1900-1940. Secuencia [online]. 2015, n.93, pp.137-161. ISSN 2395-8464.

This article focuses on the processes of appropriation, displacement and conflict in the history of the football from its introduction as a select, British practice until its massification and integration into the national imaginary. Through the repercussions of international matches, the article reconstructs the links that football in Rosario established with the narratives of national sport and the Creole style. It also explores the conditions for the professionalization of football in the early 1930s and the sensibilities activated during this process. The last section of the article is devoted to examining the modalities acquired by football as a mass spectacle, in which the formation of the figure of the amateur, the social relations maintained in stadiums and the link between football and the entertainment market and leisure are crucial.

Keywords : football; Argentina; culture; practices; social media; mass society.
