Rasizm: otwarta rana (post)kolonialna. Exempla piłkarskie
Journal Title: Studia Europaea Gnesnensia - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue
Abstract
The article employs the category of coloniality, a notion developed by Latin American researchers, which proved useful in the analysis of the phenomenon of racism encountered on European football stadiums. I have demonstrated that coloniality, which may be construed as a singular colonial wound or an awareness of colonialism, despite the formal abolishment of the latter, has survived until today and manifests itself in our everyday life. In the colonial era,Europefashioned itself into a centre of the world, assigning the indigenous peoples a place in the hierarchy of races. This gave rise to the modern racism and its ideologies. However, instead of theoretical deliberations concerning racism, the text offers an analysis of specific manifestations of that phenomenon. The analysis of examples of racist behaviours which are in evidence on European football stadiums (chiefly in Spain), demonstrated that unlike some of the European fans, whose notional processes are still subject to colonial paradigms, many black footballers had critically reconsidered history and, by way of cultural resistance, are capable of transcending the traditional and stigmatizing syndrome of victim, which they had been assigned by the European/colonial thinking. Thus, in a symbolic sense, they overthrow the still constricting corset of the metropolis.
