Антрополошко истраживање политичког активизма навијача ЈСД „Партизан“
Anthropological research of the political activism of Partizan JSD fans

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author endeavours to establish how political views, ideologies and needs of Partizan’s organised fan groups structure the club identity in the political discourse and the activ- ist inclinations of their “right” and “left-wing” using the example of Partizan (Serbia) and PAoK (Greece) fans who participate in the fan exchange under the slogan Same colours one religion. In view of the currently widespread communication via social networks and internet exchange of audio-visual artefacts, fan groups increasingly copy the model of international club fraternisation. The political and religious components are the invariable factors of a network of friendly clubs which in addition to their mutual folklore support in hooligan confrontations with common enemies reaffirm their political position by expressing transnational solidarity. The author’s purpose is to demonstrate how the Partizan fan groups respond to current political events and national constructs which have become an inseparable part of their identity.
