La violence des foules sportives dans l’histoire

permanences et aspects distinctifs

Abstract

Generally the hooliganism is associated to an extreme drift of supporters of the modern soccer. Yet many writings (Tacit, II annals, etc.) return account of violences on behalf of publics in the old games. To shortcoming the example of some incidents, representative of the modern hooliganism (confrontations between "spectators" or "supporters"; bruising of people of the to movements of crowd; required to establish a maintenance of the order, among others) taken to times and in distinct contexts (at the time of fights of gladiators in Pompéï, during the games of the ancient Rome, in the Calcio fiorentino of the 16th century, at the time of the riots of Cappielow riot in 1895, etc.), we intend to examine permanences and differences in what we will name "the violence of the sporty crowds in history" in order to deduct the distinctive aspects of the "old" violences of the "modern" hooliganism of it.
