  • A Study of the Collective Cheering at Professional Baseball Games in the Hiroshima City Ball Park

抄録

The purpose of this study is to reveal, from the viewpoint of ritual, styles of collective cheering repeatedly performed at professional baseball games in a stadium. The procedure of this study is, first, to identify a common style observed at nine games in the Hiroshima City Ball Park, and second, to investigate a rhythm pattern of the cheering using the symbol-structure approach of Kitazawa.<br>This study revealed that:<br>(1) the collective cheering was performed as a token of the boundary of time and space in a game. Also, according to the situation of the game, the collective cheering utilized tools such as drums, bells, trumpets, whistles and megaphones played in a stylized way. What caused stylization and repetition of the cheering behaviors was the process of sports itself ordered by certain rules.<br>(2) the cheering sections took an important part in the collective cheering. Right, center and left cheering sections simultaneously played the march tunes peculiar to each player. The cheering sections aroused the collective energies of the spectators by using information about the situation of the game.<br>(3) the standard rhythm pattern of the cheering was the same one as “Binzasara”, which is played in agricultual rituals. This pattern represents feminine gender whose principal beat is three or seven, and is in a form of “Uchinarashi”, which is used as an appeal to gods from this world. This may suggest that the cheering at professional baseball games is a kind of expression of magical behaviors based on Japanese mythical thinking.
