Beschreibung
The concept of 'subculture' has long been of significant importance in research on youth, style, deviance and popular culture. Although in more recent years subculture has been the subject of sustained critique, it still provides a valuable point of reference for study and research. This text offers students an up-to-date and wide-ranging account of new developments in youth culture research that reject, refine or reinvent the concept of subculture. Bringing together key theoretical statements with illuminating analyzes of particular aspects of youth culture - popular music, clubbing, body modification, the internet, etc. - this is an ideal introduction to a diverse and wide-ranging field.
Combines new and cutting edge research with contributions from well-respected names in the field
Provides an overview of the concept of 'subculture' and its influence on youth and popular culture, while also pushing forward debates in the area
An extremely cohesive and welledited collection which will be ideal as a core course textbook.
