Abstract

'The Secular Religion of Fandom' examines the function of fandom, specifically the visiting of spaces which have been recently deemed worthy of sanctification and a newly elevated status of importance. It examines how such pilgrimages are used as a means for forming and maintaining a common language of culture, creating a replacement apparatus based on more traditional frameworks of religious worship and salvation, while becoming an ever more dominant mechanism for constructing individuality and finding belonging in a commodified culture.

Abstract

»Ultra« gilt als am schnellsten wachsende jugendbetonte Subkultur Deutschlands - was zeichnet sie aus und wie kann sie in Bezug auf andere Subkulturen eingeordnet werden? Das Phänomen Ultra wird in dieser Grundlagenarbeit im Kontext der Subkultur-Theorie aufgearbeitet und wissenschaftlich hinterfragt. Im Fokus stehen dabei Interdependenzen mit anderen Subkulturen wie u.a. HipHop, Punk und Graffiti. Interviews mit Szenemitgliedern oder ausgemachten Experten (unter anderem mit Jan-Henrik Gruszecki, Sven Brux, James M. Dorsey und Kai Tippmann), welche die Analysen der jeweiligen Subkultur ergänzen, gewährleisten die Authentizität und Szenenähe des Bandes. »Ein entlarvendes Buch!« Klaus Hansen, www.socialnet.de, 29.09.2016 Besprochen in: Transparent, 18 (2016), Pavel Brunßen Zeitschrift für Volkskunde, 112/2 (2017), Raphael Reichel

Abstract

In this book, Stephen Graham examines the largely unexplored terrain of underground music-exploratory forms of music-making, such as noise, free improvisation, and extreme metal, that exist outside or on the fringes of mainstream culture, generally independent from both the market and from traditional high-art institutions. Until now there has been little scholarly discussion of underground music and its cultural, political, and aesthetic importance. In addition to providing a much-needed historical outline of this diverse scene, Stephen Graham focuses on the digital age, showing the underground and its fringes as based largely in radical anti-capitalist politics and aesthetics, tied to the political contexts and structures of late-capitalism. Sounds of the Underground explores these various ideas of separation and capture through interviews and analysis, developing a critical account of both the music and its political and cultural economy.

Abstract

Fight back examines the different ways punk - as a youth/subculture - may provide space for political expression and action. Bringing together scholars from a range of academic disciplines (history, sociology, cultural studies, politics, English, music), it showcases innovative research into the diverse ways in which punk may be used and interpreted. The essays are concerned with three main themes: identity, locality and communication. These, in turn, cover subjects relating to questions of class, age and gender; the relationship between punk, locality and socio-political context; and the ways in which punk's meaning has been expressed from within the subculture and reflected by the media. Jon Savage, the foremost commentator and curator of punk's cultural legacy, provides an afterword on punk's impact and dissemination from the 1970s to the present day.

Abstract

This book draws on wide range of inspirations to provide a well-balanced picture of the popular culture and subcultures of Czech post-socialism. What were the continuities and discontinuities of the post-socialist popular culture, mentalities and society during the period of late state socialism? What were the different mechanisms of 'creating the Other' in popular culture and subcultures? This volume shows the diverse trajectories of the late socialist (and older national) cultural practices and the related set of values and beliefs in new transitory circumstances.
