We’re pleased to announce we have two books on sale at the Mega-Container which feature chapters on Dulwich Hamlet.
Games without Frontiers by Joe Kennedy
Who’s creating, buying and selling notions of authentic football ‘fanhood’?
What’s the essential difference between watching ‘footbaall’ and going to football’?
How does Steven Gerrard manipulate the collective unconscious?
Why has military recruitment, the advertising of cars, football shirts synergized over the last decade?
In the course of eight essays, Dulwich Hamlet fan and lecturer in English and Cultural Studies Joe Kennedy, tries to throw some light on these questions and many like it. This is an enjoyable and accessible inquiry into the state of modern football in relation to modern society. It equips the post-modern, post-truth football fan with the theoretical chops to understand some of the less seemly undercurrents of the game in 2016.
