Resistance Through Rituals: Youth Subcultures in Post-War Britain
... Additionally, the process of cultural meaning-making/feeling-making is complicated further by the fact that movement cultures are not isolated from dominant cultures. Drawing on Marc Steinberg (2002), Stuart Hall (1993) and Nancy Fraser (1990) ...
... Vysotksy (2020) discusses how anti-fascists use dress, social events, and personal life approaches to express authenticity and sign that authenticity to other groups. The importance of authenticity to both culture and subculture is something acknowledged by Hall (1993) and by Haenfler et al. (2012), who contend that movement participants: "advocate lifestyle changes as a primary means to social change, politicising daily life while pursuing morally coherent 'authentic' identities," (p.14). ...
... To explain this tension, I turn to Fraser (1990) and Hall (1993 Fraser's conceptualisation of "subaltern counterpublics" is a critique of the Habermasian view on the "Public sphere" (Habermas, 1991). While there is a 'public sphere', each individual and group forms their own 'counterpublics' where the rest of the actors in the public sphere are not necessarily welcome-your home, for example, is a counterpublic in this sense. ...
This thesis explores the understudied area of masculinity in radical left-wing social movements. While there is a scattered gendered body of literature on social movements, how men participate and construct masculinities has received less scholarly attention. Specifically, this thesis develops the analytical concept of "inarticulate masculinities" - how men's experiences and expressions of masculinity may not conform to traditional gender norms but struggle to articulate themselves as doing so. This thesis identifies a gap in the academic study of masculinity in social movements. A theoretical framework is drawn from the works of Raymond Williams and Felix Guattari to propose a novel method for understanding the shaping of identities within cultures, especially radical political cultures. Drawing on interviews with men involved in Momentum, I explore how left-wing cultures shape and discipline masculine identities. While left-wing men can â and do â perpetuate patriarchal power structures and traditional gender roles under the guise of radical activism, this thesis highlights how alternative and emergent masculine practises manifest. The significance of this research extends beyond a better understanding of masculinity in social movements. The thesis argues that inarticulate masculinities have broader implications for affect studies and social movement research. Scholars can better understand the affective dimensions of political engagement by exploring men's emotional experiences and expressions in social movements. Through highlighting how gender norms are constructed and contested in social movements, this research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how political practises and cultures shape and sustain identities
... La guerriglia chimica, invece, rimette al centro dell'analisi il potenziale politico delle droghe e spinge la guerriglia semiotica oltre la barriera simbolica, per studiare i processi di appropriazione e riutilizzo di sostanze illegali e legali da parte di soggetti dissidenti. Un riferimento in questo caso sono, invece, le assunzioni di testosterone al di fuori del trattamento medico da parte di soggetti in transizione (Preciado 2008 (Campbell 1986;Miller 2001;McRobbie 1991), a lungo, i cultural studies hanno trascurato la dimensione di genere insita nelle sottoculture e nelle controculture. Questo filone di ricerca si è concentrato tradizionalmente sulle espressioni maschili delle culture di strada: il contributo delle donne al loro interno è stato spesso invisibilizzato e le forme di sottoculture femminili elaborate in spazi diversi rispetto alla strada sono rimaste inesplorate (McRobbie e Garber 1991). ...
... Nella consapevolezza che quell'energia conflittuale potrà mutare forma, diventare sempre più autolesionistica, ma non estinguersi fintanto che non si agisca sulle sue origini strutturali. Perché ogni sasso è un memento del fatto che la storia non è finita (Marchi 2004 Garber (1991), si sia iniziato a prestare maggiore attenzione al protagonismo femminile nelle sottoculture ed è impossibile non riconoscere come molte delle prime ricerche della scuola di Birmingham e, dunque, dei primi cultural studies britannici fossero interamente focalizzati su espressioni culturali «al maschile». Un discorso che vale ovviamente anche per Valerio Marchi. ...
Sezione dedicata alla "teppa drogata" all'interno della Tavola rotonda di Studi culturali curata da Fabio Bertoni, Andrea Caroselli, Luca Sterchele, dal titolo: "Are the kids alright? Valerio Marchi e le prospettive divergenti nella ricerca".
Dall'introduzione del contributo:
"Eppure, leggendo la cospicua e puntuale produzione di Valerio Marchi su culture giovanili e del conflitto risalta la marginalità con cui sono trattate le sostanze stupefacenti e il loro impiego sovversivo da parte della teppa. Un’assenza che non stupisce perché riproduce la consuetudine degli studi culturali a fornire maggiore attenzione a elementi socialmente più accettati e spettacolari come musica, vestiti e così via, lasciando sullo sfondo le droghe, siano esse legali o meno. Il presente contributo intende riflettere in maniera propositiva su questo scollamento tra i saperi alternativi, i corpi e le pratiche dell’Università della Strada e le tradizionali arene del sapere accademico. Non è compiuta una cartografia delle molteplici devianze rispetto alla norma e delle complesse resistenze simboliche messe in atto dalla teppa drogata, ma è ribaltato il gaze. Il focus è, invece, il lavoro di quei pochi studiosi che hanno approcciato la teppa drogata, per analizzare le loro risposte alle spinte normalizzanti in materia e osservare quali saperi alternativi sono stati in grado di veicolare all’interno dell’arena universitaria. L’intento non è solo quello di raccogliere quei saperi «stupefacenti» che hanno ancora difficoltà a ricevere un riconoscimento adeguato nei dipartimenti italiani, ma anche evidenziare la rilevanza delle sostanze stupefacenti all’interno delle culture giovanili e del conflitto. Una questione oggigiorno marginale anche all’interno degli stessi studi sull’alcol e le altre droghe, come vedremo meglio nelle conclusioni. Il contributo termina con l’elaborazione di due possibili piste di ricerca, presentate in maniera sintetica attraverso i concetti di devianza alterata e guerriglia chimica; è il tentativo di mettere in pratica quanto appreso nel corso di questo contributo per estendere verso nuovi orizzonti gli approcci tradizionali alla teppa drogata".

A pesquisa teve o objetivo de conhecer as apropriações e incorporações das tecnologiasde comunicação por famílias agricultoras no sul do Brasil. O estudo empírico, de carátersocioantropológico, fez uso de entrevistas, formulários e observações. Foi possível conhecer asadequações entre mídias novas e tradicionais no cotidiano. Essas incorporações estão inseridasno contexto de uma ruralidade particular, de fronteiras esmaecidas entre urbano e rural. Alémde fatores como geração e gênero, percebeu-se que a atividade produtiva – agricultura familiar– é definidora para o uso e o tipo de integração das TICs no cotidiano dessas famílias.Palavras-chave: TICs; Apropriações e incorporações; Famílias agricultoras; Novas ruralidades
... Street art has been omnipresent during the revolution. Hall et al. (1975) regard street art as a form of political resistance that can be interpreted as an act of protest against unprivileged conditions. Street art was privileged as it served the cause of the uprisings. ...
In few decades, street art has succeeded in migrating from the hidden undergrounds to the open streets. Shortly after the Arab uprisings in 2011, street art has proliferated in almost all the Arab countries. Each country used it for its own purpose, producing works of art that are unique to the place where they were produced. This article traces the evolution of street art during and after the Arab Spring. Drawing from social theory, it discusses the context that catalysed the emergence of some Arab street art experiences and the dynamics that interplayed, strongly marking the artistic scene during and after the Arab Spring. The article is a prelude to further research conducted on the street art scene in the MENA region.
... Subcultures also serve as sites of resistance and agency, allowing individuals to challenge dominant cultural norms. Hall and Jefferson (2017) argue that subcultures provide alternative spaces for marginalized individuals to express their identities and contest social inequalities. Culturally Responsive Pedagogy can acknowledge and validate these subcultural acts of resistance, fostering an inclusive learning environment that supports students in embracing their agency and advocating for social justice. ...
This study investigated the implementation and effectiveness of CRP in English language learning at Cebu Technological University-Tuburan Campus, addressing linguistic and cultural barriers for learners and explored diverse subcultures, including respondents' religion, family structure, socioeconomic status, and educational attainment. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research utilized surveys and pre-post-tests with thirty-three respondents, and interviews with six informants to gather data. Findings revealed a broad age range, a predominance of female participants, and a religiously influenced demographic. The pre-post-test results demonstrated a significant improvement in overall written communication competencies, highlighting a substantial improvement in the application of morphological concepts in writing essays, coupled with sustained high proficiency in grammar. A multiple regression analysis identifies the varying influences of demographic factors on test scores. Teachers perceived CRP as a catalyst for inclusive education, emphasizing customized approaches aligned with cultural backgrounds. Thus, CRP positively impacts language learning outcomes in diverse educational settings. Recommendations include implementing an action plan to enhance language proficiency and overcome linguistic and cultural barriers in English language learning. Findings contribute to a broader understanding of CRP's significant application in a culturally diverse educational context.
... Since cyberspace is beyond the control of place providers, everyday online interactions within subcultural communities enable cosplayers to develop new 'tactics' (de Certeau, 1984) to create alternative, ritualised spatial experiences as a collective. This hybrid ritual, however, is not necessarily the cosplayers' symbolic resistance that Hall and Jefferson (1990) might have suggested. Rather, cosplayers' innovative spatial practices still sit on the foundation of place providers' prediction of genres and usages. ...
Cosplay is a fan culture that involves dressing up as and performing fictional characters from popular media texts. Since the late 2000s, commercial enterprises in Japan have been creating and exploring new places for cosplay, such as rental studios and real-life locations, and marketing them to cosplayers for profit-seeking purposes. Based on fieldwork at cosplay events and rental studios, as well as interviews with staff, cosplayers, and chiefs of companies, I explore and discuss various ways in which spaces for cosplay are commodified in Japan. I argue that part of cosplayers’ creative spatial experience within rental studios and locations is predicted and staged by place providers. Still, cultural meanings are co-created by both cosplayers’ creative agency and place providers’ attempts to control cosplayers’ consumer behaviours. This co-creation is the result of the power dynamics between cosplayer users and place providers, along with the employment of cosplayers’ subcultural and online social capital by place providers. This study contributes to the understanding of how cultural meanings are co-created between cultural organisations and their users. It also broadens critical discussions on the collaboration between corporations and prosumers.
... The capacity to constitute classes and individuals as a popular force --that is the nature of political and cultural struggle: to make the divided class and the separated peoples into a popular democratic cultural force. Hall also emphasizes Black music cultural meaning of resistance [19]. Nadine Dolby notices that youth culture research during the late 1980s and 1990s both expanded and questioned the notion of "resistance". ...
Scholars have concerned with the possibilities of the independent cultural production in the educational field. In the schools, the educated are surrounded by the powerful diverse cultural influences. Those have been discussed in different issues from sociological, anthropological and semiotic perspectives. In fact, there is a gap between theoretical and practical research in cultural studies. Therefore, it’s necessary to explore the production and educational significance of student culture from the perspective of specific culture event. This paper chooses Taiwan folk song movement as a specific Chinese cultural event occurred in the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. It can be named as “student soundscape” because it is created by the high school and the college students. The slogan of this movement “Sing Our Own Songs” was initially to question the students’ cultural dependency on western pop music and the stereotype of Chinese urban songs named as “Era Music”. It is the ordinary students who seek for a cultural turn- a new native art form with authentic common experience. With their humanism ideal and complicated affection, emphasized as “nostalgia”, this generation of youth have experienced a trip in search for cultural roots and developed a cultural renaissance age.
... they are 'preppers' (Campbell et al., 2019), flat-Earthers (Diaz Ruiz & Nilsson, 2023), alternative health advocates (Machado et al., 2020), and members of the Second Amendment subculture (Drenten et al., 2023). Beyond these substantive cases, consumer culture literature provides several typologies of offline and online consumer collectives that gather based on oppositional forms of engagement, such as subcultures (Drenten et al., 2023;Hall & Jefferson, 1976;Schouten & McAlexander, 1995), consumption communities (Husemann et al., 2015;Jones & Arnould, 2024;Sibai et al., 2024;Thompson, 2005), brand communities (Muniz & O'guinn, 2001;Muniz & Schau, 2005) and consumer movements (Chatzidakis et al., 2021; R. V. Kozinets & Handelman, 2004;Scaraboto & Fischer, 2013;Ulver, 2022). Although this literature offers an account of the many forms of oppositional engagement among consumer collectives, it has not fully addressed how ephemeral online consumer collectives that gather based on strong oppositional affectivities, social identities, and discourses are formed and nurtured and how they affect the market. ...
There is growing concern about the proliferation of radical groups and violent content on social media platforms such as YouTube. These platforms present unique capacities to promote radicalised content, as they allow the flourishing of digital creators who amass large audiences and communicate their ideas in a compelling video format. Notwithstanding, consumer research has not yet provided a conceptualisation of such antagonistic online consumer gatherings in the ephemeral social media context. We investigate this phenomenon by combining netnographic sensibility with digital methods to explore the case of pro-gun YouTubers in Brazil. We propose the notion of online consumer counterpublics, which are online consumer collectives socio-technically shaped and promoted by social media influencers and their audiences on social media platforms based on strong oppositional discourses, ideas, affectivities, and values associated with a consumption topic, and who develop a compelling counter-hegemonic social identity.
... Deviant subcultures, such as rave culture, involve the creation of an entirely new world, one free from the rules and restrictions imposed by authoritarian powers (Hall & Jefferson, 1993). Even though Malaysia's official religion is Islam, different religious beliefs coexist and are practiced without restriction (Mura & Yuen, 2019). ...
Underground rave communities have generally had a bad image within wider society. However, these communities are motivated to change society’s norms for the better. In this respect, this article analyzes the communal significance of underground psytrance rave communities. The research is focused on the underground community of Epic Tribe, which drives the underground psytrance rave culture within Malaysia. Informal interviews were conducted with ravers, and it
was found that underground raves not only provide an experience of community, but that Epic Tribe promotes a different way of living which contrasts with the ravers’ regular lives wherein various forms of discrimination exist. Findings showed that listening and dancing to psytrance music while camping together with other ravers created a special bond among them which inspired a desire to change the world for the better.

... Reminiscent of the changing tone that characterized the second proceedings of the National Deviancy Conference (Taylor & Taylor, 1973), Cohen therefore started to reinterpret the original text-especially the contents of the concluding chapter-by cautiously replacing the functional character and historical flatness that he saw in traditional subcultural theory with a non-Marxian conflict perspective that more directly addressed the socio-historical determinants of typification and marginalization. Although Cohen recognized the sociological value of explaining youth demonization and resistance in terms of structure, culture, and biography (that is, moving beyond the parameters of labelling theory as it is commonly understood), however, he stopped short of endorsing the influential subcultural theories emerging from the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (Hall & Jefferson, 1975). ...
The greatest conceptual challenge that moral panic studies has struggled with over the past half century is the problem of disproportion. Since the field’s inception, moral panics have been conceptualized as disproportionately conservative overreactions to ostensibly insignificant problems. It did not take long for critics, many of whom were working in moral panic studies or related fields of inquiry, to point out that disproportion is construed in a normative rather than empirical manner, and to supplement the conventional focus on conservative overreactions by drawing attention to either conservatively conditioned underreactions (missing panics) or socially progressive overreactions that are cultivated on the political left rather than the right (good moral panics). This article explains how the dynamics of disproportionate social reactions are more complicated than conventional moral panic scholars and their critics alike have recognized. By theorizing the nuances involved in disproportionate social reactions, the article develops a provisional framework to encourage theoretical and conceptual investigations into different kinds of moral boundary violations. The focus of analysis is on the problem of disproportion as it appears in moral panic studies, but scholars working with a broader range of realist, materialist, and/or critical perspectives will recognize and identify with the normative challenges posed by the problem of disproportion in their respective areas of inquiry.
... Çağdaş Kültürel Çalışmalar Merkezinin önemli isimlerinden Hall (1990) gençliği bir evre ve yaş dönemi olarak ele alan işlevselci anlayışı eleştirerek, sınıf, ırk ve cinsiyetin gençlerin yetişkinliğe geçişinde çok farklı yollar yarattığını bu yüzden gençlik kavramının homojen bütüncül bir yaş kategorisini tanımlamasının mümkün olmadığını öne sürer. Çağdaş Kültürel Çalışmalar Merkezi'nin gençlik çalışmalarına en büyük katkısını ritüeller aracılığıyla direniş fikrini sistematize ederek akademik söyleme katmaları olduğunu belirten Blackman (2005), gençlik alt kültürlerinin işçi sınıfının tabiilik deneyiminin bir göstergesi, alt kültür aktivitelerinin ise sembolik ve politik belirli sınıf ve kültürel deneyimler olarak yorumlandığını belirtir. ...
Sosyal bilimler içerisinde gençlik, çeşitli paradigma, yaklaşım ve değer sisteminin kesiştiği bir alan olmuştur. Gençlik çalışmaları, toplumsal bağlama, zamana ve mekana göre toplumun bütünüyle ilişkisi çerçevesinde gelişen karmaşık ve çok katmanlı bir mirasa sahiptir. Bu makalede gençlik çalışmaları alanındaki tartışma alanları ve ana kavramlar incelenerek konu hakkında genel bir değerlendirme yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Öncelikle temel paradigmalar, farklı teorik ve metodolojik ayrımların anlaşılabilmesi için iki eksen esas alınmıştır. Bu eksenlerden ilki, nesnellik (realizm)- öznellik (nominalizm) ayrımıdır. Bireylerin sosyal dünyayı dışsal reel bir geçeklik olduğu anlayışı ile isimlendirme, kategorilendirme gibi süreçlerle inşa ettiği varsayımı arasındaki teorik ayrımı belirlemektedir. İkinci eksen ise düzen (regülasyon) ve çatışma boyutlarını içermektedir. Gençlerin toplumsal düzenin neresinde konumlandıklarına dair teorik varsayımları ve buna dair çözüm önerilerinin farklılaşmasında rol oynamaktadır. Düzen (regülasyon) teorilerinde, toplumla uyum ve dayanışmanın sağlanması esastır. Toplumsal alanın biçimlenmesinde çatışma unsurunu ön plana çıkaran teorilerde ise gençlik ve gençliğe dair problemler halihazırda var olan toplumsal, kurumsal ve düşünce sistemlerinin bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkmakta ve sorunların çözülebilmesi için radikal toplumsal dönüşümler gerekmektedir. İkinci olarak, gençlik alanını biçimlendiren alt tartışmalar (doğa /biyoloji-kültür/ yetiştirme, kuşak-sosyal sınıf, yapı-birey, yapı-süreç ve katkı sağlayıcılar-bağımlılılar) gözden geçirilerek gençlik çalışmalarının genel bir çerçevesinin çizilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Son olarak, 19. Yüzyıldan yakın döneme kadar bu alt tartışmalar, gençliğin toplumsal alanda geçirdiği değişimlerle birlikte ele alınmıştır.
... Denied access to the emotional communities discussed in this chapter, the masculinity of young working-class men fractured, and they became unmoored, perceived as a social problem, and a subject of sociological, psychological, and cultural study. 82 The route to becoming a man no longer centred on skilled work, but could include drug-taking, binge drinking, fighting, and criminality of varying degrees of severity. 83 Because men no longer acquired their masculinity and sense of self through work, they performed it on the streets, and in the pubs and clubs, and this unstable and insecure identity had no place for the cultures of care and self-betterment valued by the steelworkers. ...
... Uno de los ejes fundamentales en los trabajos que se hicieron al respecto evidenciaba que las mujeres, más que ser protagonistas en los procesos de tomar las calles, quedaban adscritas a papeles secundarios como acompañantes o como compañeras amorosas de los varones, configurando así una dicotomía genérica establecida bajo la lógica binaria hombresactivos / mujeres-pasivas (McRobbie y Garber, 1976). Los estudios que exaltaban los roles de género pronto comenzaron a virar hacia enfoques donde las mujeres eran vistas de forma activa y no leídas en función de los varones; ejemplo de este tipo de estudios fue el realizado por Shane J. Blackman (1998), quien analizó cómo adolescentes configuraban organizaciones totalmente manejadas por mujeres para construir espacios de conocimiento y saberes, así como para compartir experiencias. ...
En el año 2014, en México comenzó a gestarse un movimiento de raperas feministas que develaba cómo se estaban produciendo cambios importantes al interior de la cultura hip hop. La presencia de mujeres feministas en esta propuesta cultural caracterizada mundialmente por cuatro elementos: rap, breaking, DJing y graffiti ponía en evidencia las grandes transformaciones que se estaban gestando en la cultura que nació en el Bronx, en Nueva York, en la década de los setenta. Estos cambios se encuentran articulados a la cosmovisión que considera la construcción de un mundo mejor y que, aunado a sus cuatro prácticas artísticas y la presencia de los feminismos, configura lo que en la actualidad se conoce como el hip hop feminista en México. A lo largodel presente texto se busca dar respuesta a la pregunta general: ¿cuál es la genealogía de las mujeres feministas involucradas en lacultura hip hop en México? Como parte de los objetivos está el comprender las particularidades de enunciación y las formas deorganización que construyen las mujeres en esta cultura y, finalmente, identificar la especificidad de dichos conocimientos.También se analiza el espacio de la fiesta hip hop como lugar para la configuración de una pedagogía feminista en México. Losresultados demuestran que la presencia del feminismo en la cultura hip hop habita en el marco de los activismos vinculados a laCuarta Ola del Feminismo a nivel global.
... Tony Jefferson, Paul Willis, and John Clarke also disagreed with the concept of consumers as passive recipients, because the audience is conscious and uses the media for their purposes. They resist the official ideology and rethink the content broadcast by industry producers (Hall & Jefferson, 2006). ...
The aim of the article is to reveal the main stages of the research of fans in fan studies discourse and analyse the evolution of fan culture development that took place in the 21st century. Results. The article demonstrates that a separate scientific direction is dedicated to the study of fan communities in the Anglo-American academic environment — fan studies, which went through three distinct periods in their development: deviation, resistance (20th century), and mainstream (21st century). In the cultural aspect, the concepts of “fanatic/fanaticism” and “fan/ fandom” are distinguished. It is shown that Anglo-American fan studies define fan culture as an expressive lifestyle of fans of a certain cultural phenomenon or of a bearer of a certain cultural tradition, and in the last two decades, the fan studies direction, where fan culture is connected with fandom, has been intensively developing. It is stated that fandom is a self-organised community built around shared pleasure from a certain product of cultural industries in the digital media environment, and a fan is considered as a person who invests his time, energy, and money in interaction with a media product that is the object of his interests. The scientific novelty consists in determining the methodological status of the concept of “fan culture”, revealing the role of fan communities in the creation of popular culture in the 21st century. Conclusions. Fans began to play an active role in the processes of cultural creation, thanks to their creative work, there was a transition from passive consumption of mass culture products to active production of works of popular culture. Fan culture as a special community and environment of joint creative work among fans of literary works, television series, comics, and computer games, blurs the difference between consumption and production, becoming a vivid phenomenon of popular culture.
... Dalam hal ini, fungsi pertunjukan musik tidak hanya terbatas pada ruang artikulasi nilai estetik sebagaimana dijelaskan oleh Adorno (Paddison, 1993), namun juga sebagai ruang artikulasi nilai politis kultural bagi para pelaku budaya kaum muda. Dalam tradisi Birmingham School misalnya, musik populer seperti punk, rock, serta fashion dan gaya hidup yang terkait digunakan oleh kaum muda dari kelas bawah bermakna sebagai instrumen dalam melakukan resistansi secara simbolik, tidak hanya terhadap budaya mainstream namun juga ditujukan pada parents culture (Hall & Jefferson, 1976). Pada kasus punk (Hebdige, 1979), bentuk resistansi terlihat pada bagaimana pertunjukan musik (gigs) yang diorganisir dengan prinsip Do It Yourself (DIY), saling support antar anggota subkultur, serta menjunjung tinggi konvensi berupa nilai amateurism pada bentuk musik yang disajikan. ...
Independent Performance Practice in Extreme Metal Scene. Music performance, including extreme metal, is an integral part of music-based youth groups’ socio-cultural practices. The practice and meaning construction of music performance could not be considered as stagnant, but dynamic in its relationship with surrounding objective structure. In order to understand the meaning construction upon music performance, specifically within the extreme metal scene, this research focuses on the dynamics of individual music performance practice in Yogyakarta in the contemporary neoliberal era. This research was based on re-interpretation of ethnographic qualitative data. Yet, several challenges upon research data re-interpretation had been overcome by the insider status of the second author, and also triangulation interview with previously involved-informant. According to the re-interpretation of qualitative data, it can be argued that independent music performance is the reflection of the youth’s culture-based negotiations against the dominant discourse of commercial space by mainstream cultural industries as well as limited space of expression in the urban landscapes. This kind social networks-based of music performance, ranging from local to trans-local scene and constant experimentations of the scene habitus, show the manifestation of symbolic resistance. In this case, the symbolic resistance is not only based on social class, but also as a manifestation of spatial marginality. Thus, the independent music performance in this research can be a good example in order to keep the values of music idealism in the present and in the future.Pertunjukan musik merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari praktik sosio-kultural kelompok budaya kaum muda berbasis musik, termasuk metal ekstrem. Adapun praktik dan pemaknaan terhadap pertunjukan musik bukan merupakan suatu hal yang stagnan, namun senantiasa bergulir secara dinamis dalam relasi dengan struktur objektif yang melingkupinya. Guna membangun pemahaman atas praktik dan pemaknaan terhadap pertunjukan musik, khususnya dalam skena metal ekstrem, artikel ini membahas dinamika praktik pertunjukan musik mandiri di Yogyakarta pada era neoliberal kontemporer. Artikel ini disusun melalui proses re-interpretasi atas data yang diperoleh dengan metode kualitatif etnografi. Beberapa tantangan atas re-interpretasi data penelitian dapat teratasi dengan posisi salah satu penulis sebagai insider dalam skena metal ekstrem serta melalui triangulasi dengan salah satu informan yang sudah terlibat dalam wawancara sebelumnya. Berdasarkan hasil re-interpretasi tersebut, dinamika pertunjukan musik mandiri merefleksikan bagaimana praktik negosiasi berbasis budaya kaum muda terhadap dominasi pewacanaan ruang komersial oleh industri budaya mainstream sekaligus keterbatasan ruang berekspresi dalam landscape perkotaan. Praktik pertunjukan musik mandiri yang mendasarkan pada jaringan sosial dari level lokal hingga trans-lokal dan eksperimentasi atas habitus skena secara berkelanjutan ini merupakan manifestasi perlawanan simbolik. Dalam hal ini, perlawanan tersebut tidak hanya berbasis kelas sosial namun juga merupakan manifestasi peminggiran berbasis ruang. Praktik pertunjukan musik mandiri ini dapat menjadi exemplar yang baik guna menjaga nilai-nilai idealisme bermusik tetap hidup di masa sekarang maupun di masa depan.

This paper explores the factors increasing the chances of thinking one's cultural tastes and interests would be looked down upon by others, a sentiment put under the label of “symbolic violence” by Pierre Bourdieu. Using data from a survey fielded in the US in 2017–18 ( n = 2,514), it examines the role of social position, lifestyle, family status and other properties. Multiple correspondence analysis is used to model both the US social space and the lifestyle system. Multinomial logit regression modeling then suggests the volume of economic and cultural capital possessed by individuals is key to anticipating symbolic violence, alongside age, gender and parental status, though capital composition plays a part in differentiating likelihoods of expressing neutrality on the question. Interactions are investigated using decision‐tree analysis. This reveals that subtle interplays between social position and other factors are at work in shaping the likelihood of feeling one would be looked down upon by others.
Soziale Milieus können als Personengruppen bezeichnet werden, die sich in ihren lebensweltlichen Erfahrungen und Lebensführungen ähneln. Seit den 1980er-Jahren formulieren Milieuansätze in der Sozialstrukturanalyse Kritik an bisherigen Klassen- und Schichtmodellen, welche sich auf sozioökonomische Lebenslagen von Individuen beschränken. Demgegenüber werden kulturelle Aspekte, wie Wertorientierungen und Lebensführungspraktiken, betont. Neuere Ansätze heben dabei die Bedeutung sowohl der sozioökonomischen als auch kulturellen Dimension sowie des Konflikts zwischen sozialen Milieus hervor.
O artigo discute uma trajetória de pesquisa no campo de estudos sobre juventude e cidade. A partir de uma experiência coletiva de pesquisa sobre jovens na metrópole paulista, realizada no Núcleo de Antropologia Urbana da USP, volta-se para contextos mais amplos da relação da juventude periférica com a cidade, desde a escola, até a práticas culturais como o funk e os rolezinhos em São Paulo. Dessa maneira, a relação juventude e periferia é enfatizada nessa trajetória, por meio da discussão da categoria êmica quebrada. Assim, de uma pesquisa focada na relação de jovens pixadores com a cidade, parte-se para a relação de jovens com as escolas de ensino médio, e dessas para o funk ostentação e seus desdobramentos nos eventos coletivos nos shopping centers paulistanos, denominados como rolezinhos. Conclui-se, a partir da reação exagerada e estigmatizante aos rolezinhos, que todas as práticas descritas no artigo, de alguma maneira, foram ou são objeto de pânico moral.
When studying how rock, punk, and similar cultures relate to place, scholars tend to focus on local scenes (and on concerts as constitutive events that establish the rock music community). When they do consider translocal connections, they mostly discuss non-face-to-face relations, for instance, as enacted through printed or electronic media. In this paper, by ethnographically examining the interpersonal dynamics of several case studies, I demonstrate that the music community of DIY (do-it-yourself) participants in the US is constituted in large part through face-to-face interaction, not only in local places (through the interaction of DIY participants both within and between music venues), but in translocal space (through touring, and similar traveling practices), as well. Local participants depend on translocal touring participants (who generate flows of ideas, sounds, objects, and people), and the translocal participants depend on their local compatriots (who provide places at which to play, or sleep). Local DIY places, especially DIY participants’ houses, play a significant role in this dialectic as items of reciprocal exchange within the translocal “network of friends/favors.” In addition, they also function as places of ‘intimacy,’ in the local context as sites for small and ‘intimate’ concerts, and translocally as places for hosting touring musicians as houseguests. DIY places/houses thus contribute to an experience of closeness and to the transformation of fans to friends for the DIY participants. In the first part of the paper, I examine the establishment of local and translocal DIY ‘communities’ through the social practice of touring (culture as travel). In this section, I also briefly discuss historical and geographical factors, and consider the dimensions of race, gender, and sexuality in the American DIY touring experience. In the second part, I subsequently observe the aspects and particular characteristics of DIY touring practices themselves (travel as culture), and how they reflect and generate DIY values and politics.
In 2014, a trans teenager named Leelah Alcorn posted a suicide letter to her public Tumblr account. Almost a decade later, in 2023, Eden Knight, another young trans woman, posted a suicide letter to her public Twitter account. Both suicide letters went viral and inspired memorial hashtags on the platforms where they initially circulated. In this article, I identify similarities between the cases, conceptualizing both as rituals of commemoration aimed toward restoring value to trans lives lost too soon. My analysis shows how ordinary users leverage the connective affordances embedded within popular social media platforms to sustain structured, value-laden acts of remembrance and mourning. In doing so, I elucidate four stages of the ritual process: (1) sharing suicide letters, (2) enshrining selfies, (3) modulating memories, and (4) casting blame. Ultimately, I argue that trans-led rituals of commemoration can function as justice-oriented tactics of resistance against engrained systems of oppression that perpetuate disproportionally high rates of early death within trans communities.
The popularity of the network rap variety show "A New Generation of Rap" has brought rap into the public view, and the rap subculture has had a positive interaction with the mainstream culture. taking "A New Generation of Rap" as an example, the paper explores the breakthrough and innovation of network variety shows in showing the content of rap subculture. this paper analyzes the interaction between mainstream culture and subculture by using the related theoretical analysis of Birmingham School, and demonstrates the strong. At the same time, this program is taken as a successful case of interaction between mainstream culture and subculture, and its reference points are analyzed to provide reference for cultural integration in the current Internet field. In combination with the current development status of rap subculture, the development status of rap subculture is considered.
This discussion critically examines and questions assumptions about the meanings and motivations of sporting consumption. We argue that the practice of sneaker customization demonstrates the contested terrain of sporting consumption, wherein contemporary consumerism is characterized by a dynamic interplay between top–down structural determination (by mass commercial forces) and bottom–up creative agency (by everyday consumers). Based on in-depth interviews with 15 sneaker consumers, we narrate the complexities of late capitalist consumer culture through three overlapping “tensions” between the commercial sneaker industry and everyday sneaker consumers: (1) Sneakers as a vehicle to express individuality versus to demonstrate conformity; (2) Sneaker customization as a means of artistic expression versus being a commodity rationalized to maximize profit; (3) An affective versus instrumental attachment to sneakers. Overall, the analysis illuminates how the cultural and affective meanings that consumers attach to sneaker consumption operate; sometimes in conjunction with, more often in opposition to, but always in tension with the meanings that the sneaker industry attempts to embed through its ever-expansive means of marketing and advertising.
Studying 'youth' confronts researchers with a critical predicament. How to study a social category that is constantly unfolding anew and that means such varied things in different places ? This article addresses these methodological challenges based on qualitative research about youth and political contestation in Conakry, Guinea and Kampala, Uganda. Situating this comparative work within youth scholarship in African studies, the author describes his failure to come to terms with the differences between the two cases, especially because it remained unclear whether these differences emerged from the cases themselves or from his ethnographic access. Drawing on AbdouMaliq Simone's concept of the "surrounds" (2022), the article suggests approaching youth as an elusive category that is not exclusively to be defined and captured, but that also stands for new ways of navigating the world that may elude present modes of detection. The meanings attached to youth in academic research are thus conceptualized as relational and contingent on who is researching whom under what conditions and in what contexts.
Based on two research projects in the Brussels-based artistic workspace and NGO Globe Aroma, this paper shows how artists with a (recent) migration background make sense of the arts and the space in which they are produced. Born out of a need to counter the dominant presence of men in this artistic workspace and create a welcoming environment, textile-making and live radio were used as means of reclaiming space, fostering solidarity, and sharing personal narratives. Textile-making, traditionally associated with domesticity, was repurposed for public exhibition, challenging the dichotomy between private and public spheres. Furthermore, the projects challenged neo-colonial dynamics and traditional research methodologies. While asking which (micro-)political meaning these artists give to their works and practices, the paper also reflects on the cultural thresholds experienced by migrant artists wishing to access hegemonic arts institutions.
This dissertation explores the phenomenon of trap music starting from its etymology, definitions and meanings and a contextualisation of its origins and development from a historical, musical and socio-political perspective, with particular attention to the struggles for emancipation of the African-American minorities in the South of the United States. The analysis also focuses on trap’s history and evolution from the hip-hop cultural movement, and how it became a separate music genre with its own influences and sub-genres. This research examines the style, the aesthetics, the sound, the content, the musical influences and the spread of trap; its arrival in Italy is especially significant, since it gave origin to new meanings, interpretations and images, both from the artists’ inner-perspectives and through public opinion, the media and social networks. The dissertation analyses the elements of trap that make it relevant within the public debate, such as the violence portrayed in the lyrics and images, and its connection to real-life violence (i.e., baby gangs, jail, drugs), how it is represented through technology and modern means of communication, consumption and distribution, identification and sponsorship. This work aims at demonstrating that the individuals who produce, listen to and experience this music genre perceive a generational belonging and identify with a mass culture artistic expression; at the same time, trap music can represent a kind of subculture that causes a series of consequences, e.g., the phenomenon of moral panic within adult society. Finally, the dissertation focuses on trap’s shared community values, its relationship with the economic system and the political claims of minorities who live in the outskirts of Western cities, oppressed by marginality, poverty and the inability to reach personal fulfilment. This perspective allows us to see trap music as an artistic vehicle that leads to personal and collective freedom from the trap: it is the voice of the street, from trafficking and robberies to the lack of services and institutional violence. ////////////
La seguente tesi indaga il fenomeno “trap” a partire da etimologia, definizioni e significati, contestualizzando le origini da cui si è sviluppato mediante una serie di passaggi storici, musicali, sociali e politici attraverso le lotte di liberazione della minoranza afroamericana nel Sud degli Stati Uniti. L’elaborato, inoltre, analizza la storia e la derivazione della trap dal movimento culturale Hip Hop, come genere musicale, fino a diventare un genere a sè stante con le proprie influenze e derivazioni. La dissertazione approfondisce lo stile, l’estetica, il sound, i contenuti, le contaminazioni sonore e la diffusione della trap, fino a giungere in Italia, con tutta una serie di nuovi significati, interpretazioni e immaginari sia da un punto di vista interno sia da quello di media, opinione pubblica e social network. La domanda di ricerca si focalizza su alcuni aspetti caratteristici che fanno emergere con evidenza la trap nel dibattito pubblico, come il rapporto con la violenza dei testi e delle immagini, nonché quella reale alla quale sarebbe collegata, le baby gang, il carcere, le droghe e la tecnologia, in particolare i nuovi dispositivi e le forme di comunicazione, consumo e distribuzione, identificazione e sponsorizzazione. L’oggetto di ricerca ipotizza che coloro che producono, ascoltano e vivono questo genere si identifichino in un’appartenenza generazionale, un’espressione artistica come cultura di massa ma al contempo evidenziando come in alcuni contesti ci si riferisca alla trap come subcultura, ma soprattutto come essa generi tutta una serie di effetti, quali il fenomeno del panico morale da parte della società adulta. Infine, l’argomentazione verte sul valore condiviso e comunitario del genere musicale, il suo rapporto con il sistema economico e la rivendicazione politica delle minoranze e dei quartieri periferici occidentali, vessati da marginalità, povertà e impossibilità di realizzazione personale. La trap in quest’ottica si configura come una veicolo artistico che conduce alla liberazione personale e comunitaria dalla “trap-pola”: è la voce della strada, dai traffici alle rapine, dalla mancanza di servizi alla violenza istituzionale.
II. Dünya Savaşı'nın sona ermesinin ardından İngiltere'de meydana gelen sosyoekonomik dönüşümler, toplumsal dinamikleri sarsmış, köklü değişikliklere yol açarak gençlik alt kültürlerinin ortaya çıkmasına elverişli bir zemin hazırlamıştır. İşçi sınıfı gençleri arasından doğarak toplumda yaygınlaşan punk alt kültürü, günlük yaşamın zorluklarına, yaşanan ekonomik krize, siyasi otoritenin tahakkümüne ve baskıcı toplumsal düzene karşı bir tepki olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Punklar, var olan toplumsal yapıya karşı duydukları öfkeyi giysiler ve görsel metaforlar aracılığıyla ifade etmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada, punk alt kültürünün moda endüstrisinde nasıl bir dönüşüme uğradığı tarihsel olarak anlatılmaktadır. Punk stilinin sahip olduğu sembolik anlamlardan koparılarak bir moda ürününe dönüştürüldüğü düşüncesinden hareket eden çalışma, Guy Debord'un gösteri yaklaşımı üzerinden ilerlemektedir. Punk stilinin medya ve moda içeriklerinde toplumsal normlara uyumlu hâle getirilerek sunulması bağlamında, çalışmada Gucci markasının Cruise 2017 koleksiyonu kampanyasından seçilen görseller eleştirel görsel analiz yöntemiyle incelenmektedir. Bunun sonucunda hegemonik kültürün kültürel ifade biçimlerini nasıl yeni anlamlarla dönüştürdüğü ve punk alt kültürünün görsel kodlarının modaya nasıl yansıdığı gösterilmektedir.
En El Soberbio, una localidad situada en el centro este de Misiones, frontera con Brasil, se conjugan migraciones de las más variadas. En la actualidad, el Alto Uruguay es testigo de un novedoso aluvión de sectores medios que abandonan las metrópolis en busca de una nueva vida, más tranquila y en mayor contacto con la ‘naturaleza’. Este trabajo tiene como propósito principal complejizar los estudios sobre neorruralismo en la Argentina a través de un estudio de caso aún no explorado: la movilidad de población metropolitana a Misiones que se asienta en el centro- este provincial. Desde un abordaje socio antropológico y a través de la metodología cualitativa de base etnográfica, llevamos adelante entrevistas en profundidad, entrevistas no dirigidas y observación participante entre migrantes metropolitanos ‘recién llegados’. Los datos relevados permitieron elaborar una clasificación de actores y posiciones a través de la formulación de distintos ‘repertorios de identificación’, una estrategia analítica que permite conocer en profundidad el modo en que los agentes asocian los recursos incorporados a lo largo de su trayectoria biográfica. Esta clasificación de repertorios permitirá al lector identificar con más facilidad quiénes son estos migrantes y qué buscan en destino.
As cultural practices or social identity formations associated with youth and adolescence, youth cultures incorporate a plurality of symbolic systems, values, norms, tastes, interests, social networks, behaviors, and lifestyles. While linked to adolescents or young adults, the age limits of those participating in youth cultures are not fixed nor are they rigidly defined in scholarly literature. Although the term “youth culture” was initially used, scholarship increasingly favors the use of “youth cultures,” recognizing that the concept of a single youth culture conceals a plurality of youth constellations.
This chapter deals with the history of public performances and theatre plays with queer topics in Romania since the 1990s. It offers a glimpse into these ephemeral works and captures the most important steps in the timeline of queer performance art and theatre during the transition and post-transition periods. The detailed depictions of the work along with the context-based analysis are complemented by fragments of interviews with local cultural producers who also find themselves in the position of the viewer.KeywordsQueer Romanian theatrePerformativity of LGBT+ experiencesQueer autobiographyRoma queer identitiesPerformative drag in RomanianInstrumentalisation of LGBT+ affects

Neste artigo investigamos como a cidade pode ser um lócus de ações e disputas por parte de certos grupos juvenis. Partimos da hipótese de que os jovens têm fortemente construído, pelo menos nas últimas duas décadas, estratégias de comunicação política através dos espaços das cidades, manifestando-se através da ocupação do espaço público, da produção artística e da adesão a determinados estilos de vida. Em Aracaju, capital do estado de Sergipe, no Brasil, alguns grupos que atuam dessa forma são vinculados ao punk e ao hip hop, ao slam poetry e à prática do skateboarding, entre outras. Os métodos utilizados nas pesquisas que originaram este artigo foram a observação direta, a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com jovens praticantes de tais expressões e envolvidos em coletivos juvenis, seguida pela análise interpretativa coligida com a bibliografia já existente sobre o tema. Concluímos que alguns espaços têm se tornado lugares de construção de estratégias e táticas (Certeau, 2014) coletivas para a reivindicação do direito ao debate público sobre a cidade, a partir de várias frentes de atuação estético-política.
The Milan Chinatown can be defined as one large and condensed cultural space of encounter in which geographic borders and social boundaries are blurred and where processes of hybridization are rife inevitably because groups of different social class, ethnic and otherwise, cannot help but enter into relations with each other, no matter how great the desire for separateness and the attempt to maintain cultural purity (Ang in On Not Speaking Chinese: Living between Asia and the West, Routledge, London and New York, 2001). To gain a thorough understanding of the cultural and social dynamics involved in the interplay between urban diversity and gentrification, this chapter provides a conceptual and theoretical analysis of urban hybridization processes with particular reference to Chinese diasporic identities and Chineseness in global cities. It also draws on ethnography as a way of deepening our understanding of Milan Chinatown young people’s subculture of “Asian betweeners.”KeywordsHybridityUrban diversityChinesenessChinatownDiasporaSubcultureIdentity
One of Britain’s colonial exports, part and parcel of its ‘civilising’ influence, was the martial importance of a spotless uniform. Whilst its military presence has retreated, this British legacy lives on in Caribbean schools. As with other marks of culture, an emphasis on the performance of school uniform remains where back in Britain its significance has waned. For Caribbean children school uniform inspections at the beginning of the day, standing to attention in front of the flag, replicate martial practices as part of school discipline. The resemblance of this practice to those on slave plantations also bears attention. The pressures to maintain this appearance despite a range of formidable challenges, environmental and economic, reproduce in microcosm the plight of Caribbean communities on the world stage. The ‘colonial space has been left intact to continue with its imperializing gaze, scripting and regulating the ‘other’ (Simmons & Sefa-Dei, Reframing anti-colonial theory for the diasporic context. Postcolonial Directions in Education, 1(1), 67–99, 2012, p. 69), even as these imperial practices are enlisted in aid of nation building. Children have to show up more polished, more pristine, regardless of home electricity and water supply or the state of the roads. In some cases, fording streams, or travelling several miles in overcrowded minibuses pressed up against market traders, they must still appear for uniform inspection as if they stepped out of shop windows. Not only the uniform itself but one’s entire appearance comes under inspection; in fact, our examination of policy and practice has found that interpretations of good grooming, with hairstyles, are a particular point of cultural contestation.
Il contributo presenta un lavoro di ricerca sui giovani delle aree interne italiane con l’obiettivo di comprendere percorsi di vita, esperienze e prospettive in relazione alle peculiari coordinate delle aree marginalizzate. Attraverso un approccio multidimensionale le sfere indagate si propongono di restituire componenti di contesto e individuali, strutturali, culturali e di agency, professionali e di vita pubblica. Lo studio assume tre principali dimensioni di analisi: le posizioni sulle tappe di transizione alla maturità – studio, lavoro, famiglia e genitorialità; le pratiche dell’everyday life, comprendendo abitudini e forme di partecipazione attiva; e le prospettive sul futuro, dalla progettualità all’orientamento alla restanza nel luogo di origine.
Gli interrogativi che guidano la ricerca riguardano, in primo luogo, il modo in cui gli aspetti considerati si combinano tra loro evidenziando tratti generali e peculiari dei giovani delle aree interne in relazione alle macro-aree geografiche del paese, e per genere e età ove rilevanti; ad un secondo step, mediante l’analisi multivariata delle corrispondenze si elabora, su un piano fattoriale, una sintesi degli elementi osservati attraverso direttrici di lettura complessive.
Nelle conclusioni, si evidenzia la "capacità di rimanere" rilevata in una parte importante dei giovani nei territori marginalizzati, in rapporto alle politiche necessarie per favorire lo sviluppo di un contesto favorevole alla restanza e a forme di innovazione place-based.
Niniejsza praca ma na celu wykazanie, iż subkultura technomaniaków lub technomanów jest czymś więcej niż tylko subkulturą młodych ludzi. Członkowie owej subkultury doświadczają często duchowych doznań oraz przemian podczas imprez masowych. Eskapizm uczestników imprez związanych z muzyką techno został przeanalizowany w pracy pod względem językowo-kulturowym. Autorzy sugerują trzy obszary, które mają wpływ na terapeutyczne właściwości imprez masowych oraz doznawanie przez ich uczestników „podróży” (ang. trips). W pracy przeanalizowano 120 słów i zwrotów związanych z muzyką elektroniczną na podstawie materiału źródłowego dostępnego na największym Forum Muzyki Elektronicznej, które istnieje od 2009 roku. Obszerna analiza literatury dotyczącej języka i kultury stanowi tło teoretyczne do analizy subkultury techno i pozwala wskazać, jak blisko związane są ze sobą te dwa terminy.
