Simpson, J (2015) “Upstairs Now with Billy and Don”: Spontaneous Memorials in the Footballing Community. Networking Knowledge, 8 (1). ISSN 1755-9944
Abstract
This paper examines communication and interaction around football shrines, arguing that these build into a ritual process which installs the deceased as an ancestor and provides consolation for the survivors. The historical roots of shrine-building are discussed, and the role of the media in disseminating the practice considered.
