<p>Uppsatsen handlar om hur Hammarby IF:s fotbollssupporterkultur gestaltar sig. Jag har intervjuat åtta supportrar från olika delar av Sverige. Utifrån deras erfarenheter har jag undersökt fem olika teman som beskriver olika delar av deras supporterskap. Uppsatsen handlar i grunden om hur grupptillhörigheten ser ut och uppfattas av supportrarna. De olika temana behandlar; supportens roll, klubbens betydelse för supporten, symboler, klubbens historia, gemenskap, lojalitet, status och medias roll för supporten. De teoretiska perspektiv som använts i uppsatsen är socialantropologiska teorier kring grupptillhörighet, identitet, stigma, symboler och ritualer.  Uppsatsen visar att klubben ger supportrarna identitet och tillhörighet.

Denna uppsats undersöker den konstnärliga dimensionen av supporterkulturen, med särskilt fokus på de organiserade koreografierna som äger rum på fotbollsarenor, även kända som tifon. Studien syftar till att analysera representationerna av tifon och den roll de spelar inom supporterkulturen för det svenska fotbollslaget Hammarby IF. De forskningsfrågor som utforskas är: Vilken övergripande roll fyller tifo och på vilka sätt kan dessa skapade visuella element kopplas till och påverka identiteten inom supporter- kulturen för Hammarby IF? För att uppnå detta har jag kontaktat fotografer och valt ut fyra olika tifon som förmedlar distinkta teman och budskap. Materialet analyseras med utgångspunkt från teorier som visuella kulturstudier, semiotik och performativitetsteori. Metodiken innebär att genom denotation och konnotation avslöja underliggande betydelser av det som visas. Som ett resultat avslöjar studien hur de olika tifona huvudsakligen representerar identitet, rivalitet, samhällskritik och hyllning, vilket bidrar till en djupare förståelse för samspelet mellan konst, sport och kultur. / This essay examines the artistic dimension of supporter culture, with a particular focus on the organized choreographies that take place in football stadiums, commonly known as tifos. The study aims to analyze representations of tifos and the role they play within the supporter culture of the Swedish football team Hammarby IF. The research questions to be explored are: What overarching role does tifo fulfill and in what ways can these created visual elements be linked to and influence identity within the supporter culture of Hammarby IF? To achieve this, I have contacted photographers and selected four different tifos that convey distinct themes and messages. The material is analyzed drawing upon theories such as visual cultural studies, semiotics, and performativity theory. The methodology involves annotating and connotating the visual elements to uncover underlying meanings of what is displayed. As a result, the study reveals how the different tifos primarily represent identity, rivalry, societal critique and homage, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the interplay between art, sports, and culture.

This study has focused on exploring the supporter culture at Malmö FF and Hammarby IF, clubs that are often seen as two polar opposites in Swedish football. The study has focused on examining the various supporter groups within the associations. The aim of the study was to investigate why people get involved in the Swedish football culture and whether there are differences between different clubs. By conducting 9 semi-structured interviews with supporters connected to Malmö FF and Hammarby IF, we want to create a better picture of their supportership. The material was analyzed based on theories such as identity theory, habitus and rituals to examine supporters' meaning-making. The study shows that community and collective cohesion were an important part for the supporter groups. With the help of literature such as Vem vinner i längden? (1999) och Spela fotboll bondjävlar del 1 (2011) samt Spela fotboll bondjävlar del 2 (2016) we have been able to discuss the history of Hammarby IF and Malmö FF, which facilitated the study's second question. We have also compared the clubs in terms of aspects such as geography, history and forms of expression. The study shows that the clubs have rationalized the game in their own way and where Malmö has an advantage in its truly professional organization, and where Hammarby has the ability to create interest in the association's football. At the same time, we could claim that the supporter cultures in these associations have increasingly begun to resemble each other in the form of a lot of supporters on both sides.
