Sažetak
The concept of guerrilla patriotism was first researched among Polish football ultras and hooligans (Nosal, Kossakowski, Wozniak, 2021) and could be seen as a valuable rival to the loose concept of football ultras nationalism. We argue that it is one of the most critical components of ultras identity ranging from friendship and community to solidarity and values of specific subcultures within and outside of the world of football ultras. Our research question was how this concept functions when implemented in the Croatian and Serbian ultras scenes. We conducted an ethnographic content analysis (Altheide, 1987) of 100 songs sung by Serbian (“Grobari” and “Delije”) and Croatian (“Torcida” and “Bad Blue Boys”) ultras groups. Inventing and singing songs in unison is an essential ritual for ultras groups and also serves as a mechanism of socialisation as well as gaining status inside the group. The NVivo analysis of the songs’ lyrics indicates that nowadays patriotism of ultras groups in Serbia and Croatia could be characterized by the proposed concept of guerrilla patriotism. However, this idea should be seen in relation to subcultural values that are vehemently present in each group. Those values are inherited as well as produced in the songs we analysed and range from subcultural shock to more communal themes used in wider society.
