Abstract

IBARROLA, David Sebastián. The ethics of Harry Potter’s fandom and quidditch sport: continuties and breaks. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2021, n.60, pp.43-67. ISSN 1668-8104.

The purpose of this work is to approach the continuities and ruptures between Harry Potter saga’s world of fans and the sport of Quidditch in Argentina, which is inspired by that work, but It’s shown as an independent activity. This will be worked on by analyzing the way in which fandom’s ethic appears in the sport studied. To achieve this, the history, and recent controversies of the activity at a global and local level will be recovered, structuring the article around previous investigations, interviews and observations and the use of virtual ethnography. The existence of both continuities and ruptures between these areas is concluded, with fandom’s ethic playing a particular role: reject attitudes and meanings opposed to it that emerge from the Quidditch practitioners themselves, but also from the new challenges of the activity
