In Your Blood- Football culture in the late1980's
and early 1990's
by Richard Turner
 |
The first view of Football culture
by a fan ...in this case a fan of League Division Two
Stockport County. Frustrated at the stereotyping of all
football fans as uncultured and bigoted nationalist yobs
this book suggests that a distinctive culture has
developed among football fans, which is a particularly
dynamic element of a general working class culture. Football fans are the largest single contributor to football's income yet have no say in the running of what is after all "The Peoples Game". After two successful printings this book has been out of print ... but our main distributor Central has just unearthed a box of forty or so. Cover designed by Clifford Harper. ISBN 1 870736 07 9 145x210mm 92pp perfect bound. 9 b/w photographs GBP 4.95 |
Manifest
 |
A reprint of the first edition of the 'Communist
Manifesto' (German) first printed in 1848 juxtaposed with
screen shots of a custom-built web browser version (English).
The book will encourage people to visit the website www.46LiverpoolSt.org
where links will be found to contextual information, and
from where the specially-built web browser can be freely
downloaded. MANIFEST takes its cue from the collage tradition but rather than producing a 'postmodern' assemblage in this case borrows from a single source and reorders the material into linear sequence. It operates as a facsimile of the original, conceiving 'historical understanding as an afterlife of that which is understood, whose pulse can still be felt in the present' (Benjamin, 'Edward Fuchs, Collector and Historian'). The book is a response to the paradoxes of theory and action, simply to represent what is already known but remains unimplemented. FUNDERS: With help from a grant from the Barry Amiel and Norman MelburnTrust. ISBN 1 870736 48 6 146 X 214 mm 48pp. 46 Illustrations (23 screen shots/23 reproduced photocopies) Paperback brown utility card, perfect bound with spine, 1 colour cover, matt (GBP 1.70) .
