  • Beschreibung: In the winter of 2020, German football fans presented banners depicting entrepreneur Dietmar Hopp in crosshairs as part of protest actions. Subsequently, there was a controversial discussion, especially in the digital media, about the meaning and legitimacy of these banners. While the clubs and the media interpreted the crosshairs as a call for violence, the fans framed them as a merely symbolic act of resistance and protest. In this contribution, I analyse this metapragmatic discourse as expression and accomplishment of semiotic ideologies, that is people’s underlying assumptions of what signs are, what functions they serve and what interpretive frameworks are appropriate. It is argued that the protesting fans claim a reflexive reading of the crosshairs as a symbol of subversive fan practices themselves, which is indeed consistent with recent performancetheoretical accounts of fan culture. But still other fans contest this reading and emphasise the violent connotations of the crosshairs. Thus, the negotiation of semiotic ideologies also serves as a means of social positioning and processes of social inclusion and exclusion.
