ABSTRACT

In chapter 3, we cover the problematizations, technologies and objectives of Midnight Football, and the arrangement of the activities as they are performed on site. We present close empirical accounts of how activities take form, providing insights in the relations and movements formed. The presentations enable further examinations of the governing rationalities – the kinds of social reform and formation of community – formative of and taking shape in the activities as performed, as well as the faith placed in the essence of sport for such purposes.
