Implicarse en el juego: Filosofía del fútbol (Involving Oneself in the Game: A Philosophy of Football)

Abstract

Spanish Abstract: En el juego hay que implicarse, y si no se consigue, no se juega bien ni a gusto. Aplicamos aquí esta reflexión, teorizada por Gadamer, a la experiencia colectiva del fútbol, en tanto que modelo de inmersión dramatística en una realidad interaccional definida por la teatralidad social y el deseo mimético.

English Abstract: Games require involvement, and lack of involvement results in bad play and lack of pleasure in the game. We apply here this reflection, theorized by Gadamer, to the collective experience of football, understood as a paradigm of dramatistic immersion in an interactional reality defined by social theatricality and mimetic desire.
