In this article I analyze representations about otherness present in Argentine footballchants. Social representations about “us” and “others” are staged in these songs and areconstructed through a dichotomous and exclusive logic of representation. Supportersdo not recognize the discriminatory nature of the insults in the songs because theaffronts in general are part of the performance and their interpretations are based onthe dichotomous logic of “aliento”, (support). Thus, for the supporters, these insults are not serious and are part of “football folklore”. My research focuses on the study ofthe logic of the cultural phenomenon of “aliento” and its articulation with our society’ssocial, historical and cultural processes. I perform a discursive analysis of 500 songs,interviews and participant observation with fans of 26 Argentine clubs. I discuss firstthe main characteristics of supporters’ songs and the “aliento”, and then analyze theconstructions of otherness at the existential, cultural and social levels. |

I28-R145-3733_oai2025-11-17 Bundio, Javier 2018-05-27 In this article I analyze representations about otherness present in Argentine footballchants. Social representations about “us” and “others” are staged in these songs and areconstructed through a dichotomous and exclusive logic of representation. Supportersdo not recognize the discriminatory nature of the insults in the songs because theaffronts in general are part of the performance and their interpretations are based onthe dichotomous logic of “aliento”, (support). Thus, for the supporters, these insults are not serious and are part of “football folklore”. My research focuses on the study ofthe logic of the cultural phenomenon of “aliento” and its articulation with our society’ssocial, historical and cultural processes. I perform a discursive analysis of 500 songs,interviews and participant observation with fans of 26 Argentine clubs. I discuss firstthe main characteristics of supporters’ songs and the “aliento”, and then analyze theconstructions of otherness at the existential, cultural and social levels. En este artículo propongo realizar un análisis de las representaciones acerca de la otre-dad presentes en los cantitos argentinos. Mediante ellos se escenifican representacionesacerca del “nosotros” y los “otros” construidas a partir de una lógica de la representacióndicotómica y excluyente. Los hinchas no reconocen el carácter discriminatorio de losinsultos porque las injurias en general forman parte de la performance y se interpretana partir de la lógica dicotómica del aliento. De esta manera, para los hinchas, estosinsultos no son graves y forman parte del “folklore del fútbol”. En este sentido, miinvestigación remite al estudio de las lógicas particulares del fenómeno cultural delaliento, y la articulación de estas lógicas con los procesos sociales, históricos y culturalesde nuestra sociedad. Realicé un análisis discursivo de 500 cantos de cancha, entrevistasy observación participante con hinchas de 26 clubes argentinos. Expongo en primerlugar las características principales de los cantitos y el aliento para, a continuación,analizar las construcciones de la alteridad en los niveles existencial, cultural y social. Neste artigo me proponho fazer uma análise das representações sobre as alteridadesque se manifestam através dos cantos das torcidas argentinas. Neles, são encenadasas representações sobre “nós” e os “outros”, sendo construídas a partir de uma lógicadicotômica e excludente de representação. Os torcedores não reconhecem a naturezadiscriminatória dos insultos porque as ofensas em geral fazem parte das performan-ces e suas interpretações dependem da lógica dicotômica do “alento”. Assim, para ostorcedores, esses insultos não são sérios e fazem parte do “folclore do futebol”. Destaforma, minha pesquisa centra-se no estudo da lógica do fenômeno cultural do “alento”e sua articulação com os processos sociais, históricos e culturais da nossa sociedade.Foi feita uma análise discursiva de 500 canções de torcidas, entrevistas e observaçõesparticipantes com fãs de 26 clubes argentinos.
