Abstract

The Catalanism is a sociopolitical phenomenon that has been analyzed by academicians from all levels, documented of mass media way and discussed in multiple multidimensional spaces; but the relations between Catalan nationalism with alternative spaces such as Soccer, subsequent transformation of the sports scene, landing it in a space with typical dimensions and conventional units of a sociopolitical arena, is a subject that lacks of academic profusion. It is in this cognitive darkness, where this work draws on multidisciplinary definitions around spaces of Low Culture like Soccer, conjugating with the theories of creation of socio-political movements excluded like Catalan separatism existent in theoretical perspectives of Ernesto Laclau, Jacob Torfing and Armando Duran. This analytical exercise will enable the understanding of how the identity struggle, nonviolent political action and nationalist claim in Catalonia, had colonize an inclusive space until the days that are living today.
