In the past several years, scholars in disciplines as diverse as history, geography, social antropology, sociology, psychology and landscape architecture have wondered how people experience and interpret their physical surroundings.’ This article follows in this tradition. Its point of departure is the interpretation of nature as part of culture.’ Nature in this context is important for it includes both the concept in relation to a human being and in relation to the outer nature. The complexity of the latter term will become clearer in a moment.
Continuing critical investigation of some of the recreational and social realities of the defining period in English athletics which spanned the laternineteenth and early-twentieth centuries can sustain the fertile relationship that has developed in recent years between social theoretical and empirical approaches to previously largely uncritical narrative sports history. Histories of sport and recreation have clearly developed a more immediate pertinence to social theoretical debates that are consistent with Norbert Elias’s basic figurational sociological proposition that recreation is bounded by aworking out of human relations dependent upon the form and extent of power. It is from this initial theoretical standpoint that the dynamic figurations that constituteevolving society can be brought to life by way ofempirical studies examining human agency operating in such areas as class and class relations, social control, common culture and the ‘civilizing process’.’
This paper provides an overview of how the processes through which specific football clubs were established in Scotland operated interdependently with the processes of identity construction. It is acknowledged that this paper does not provide any new primary evidence to an already wellresearched area. However, rather than offering a new perspective to the debate, the explicit aim of this contribution is to provide a review of recent research into football and sectarianism in Scotland, and to conceptualise the topic within this literature. In this respect, this paper synthesises the material on the development of football clubs in Scotland and places it directly within the context of majority/minority inter-group relations (that is, indigenous Scots and migrant Irish communities) in early twentieth century Scotland. In particular, by examining the establishment of teams based in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee, all of which housed significant Irish communities, the objective is to examine both how and why particular clubs have developed and become associated with particular social groups and identities, and why these clubs were adopted (consciously or subconsciously) as vehicles for the expression of social identity.
