Description

Explore the connection between sport and storytelling with Football as Literature: A Semiotic Reading from Academica Press. This work applies a semiotic framework to analyze football (soccer) through the lens of literary theory. By treating the football field as a stage or plot, the book examines how players function as characters within a moving text. Readers will learn how the kinetic power of the ball drives the narrative from the initial labels of player positions to the final completion of the match plot. This study views a standard football match as an active, unspoken semiotic narrative that unfolds even without verbal commentary. It is a unique resource for those interested in the intersection of sports and dramatic modes of communication.

Key Features

Examines players as characters whose transformations are driven by the movement of the ball.

Views a standard match as an active, unspoken text that unfolds through kinetic action.
