My paper "South American Fútbol and its Working-Class Essence" is both a personal and a Scholarly analysis of Football in South American and how it has affected the working class on that continent. I draw upon some selected refences regarding the ongoing study of a very complex subjet matter regarding the history of football and the working class in general.

Translating the Rules of Football in South America, 1863-19142019 •
This article explores the early history of Association Football in South America through the case study of the first translations of the rules of the game from English into Portuguese and Spanish. It demonstrates, by means of a comparison of the different temporalities and contexts of these documents, the connected and transnational nature of the sport. This has often been neglected in national paradigm studies of football pioneers and the first matches, clubs and leagues. The study of the translators suggests new avenues for the study of the interlinked histories of sport, politics and culture.

Introduction: The New History of Sport in Latin America2020 •
Thirty-five years ago, at a time when few were undertaking academic studies of sport and society in Latin America, the historian Joseph L. Arbena argued that sport could provide a window into the regional experience in the Americas. He also argued that the subject of sport had only received “limited systematic analysis.” To a large extent, that is no longer the case. Ruminating on that change, Gregg Bocketti recently affirmed that “now it is a rare season that does not see the publication of at least one academic work on Latin American and Caribbean sport, as scholars have joined athletes, coaches, journalists, and fans in acknowledging the immense scale and broad scope of sports in the region.” Indeed, since Arbena’s gloomy diagnosis, in most social sciences and humanities disciplines, over the past fifteen years in particular, researchers with an interest in the historical analysis of society have opened Arbena’s metaphorical window and have emphasized five key sets of issues, among many. Their approach has often been inter-disciplinary and not necessarily inclusive of history as a discipline. We identify below these five problem sets and illustrate each with an example from the growing body of literature.

Football at the End of the World: The Origins of Football Literature in Argentina and Uruguay2018 •
This article traces the origins of football (soccer) literature in the River Plate (Río de la Plata) region of South America (comprised by Argentina and Uruguay) through works that outline the development of the River Plate football imaginary at a period that marks the beginnings of the profound rivalry between the two nations: Dos a cero o alambrado olímpico: novela de ambiente foot-ballístico (1932) by Argentine Domingo R. Cinalli, creative non-fiction by Uruguayan Julio César Puppo (known under the pseudonym of El Hachero) from Crónicas de El Hachero (1966), and sketches of manners by Uruguayan-born Ricardo Lorenzo (Borocotó) from Pelota de trapo (1942). Cinalli’s melodrama stages debates of the period over the benefits and dangers of football’s transition into professionalism. Meanwhile, El Hachero’s crónicas show that in the 1920s and 1930s football became a strong vehicle for discourses of national pride and cohesiveness. Finally, through his sketches of manners Borocotó became the master articulator of the River Plate football imaginary, by locating it in the space of the potrero (an informal playing field) and casting it against the British style of play. By examining social and economic changes that came about with the professionalization of the sport, these early works are shown to shed light not only on the creation of a transnational imaginary and the transition of the sport into a mass spectacle, but also on the current state of football in the region.

In this study we present the first historical annotated bibliography of Spanish football in the first third of the twentieth century. On the one hand, we show the first football literature published in Spain, essentially technical- propagandistic type, which emerged in the cultural context of Modernism and under the umbrella of Regenerationism. On the other hand, we show football monographs, which is a predominant type of work in this period that reflects the prominence and popular success that football achieved as a mass-entertainment sport. The 121 works that are discussed in this repertoire have been found through the use of a wide variety of heuristic techniques as printed catalogues, records from historical newspaper archives, and searches in computerised databases or in antique bookshops. The contribution of this repertoire will contribute to knowledge of the social impact of this sport and facilitate the development of further studies on the subject matter.
