How is cultural activity shaped by the places where it unfolds? One
answer has been found in the 'scenes perspective', a development
within popular music studies that explains change and
transformation within musical practices in terms of the social and
institutional histories of scenes. Scene Thinking: Cultural Studies
from the Scenes Perspective takes up this framework - and the mode
of analysis that goes with it - as an important contribution to
cultural analysis and social research more generally. In a series
of focused case studies - ranging across practices like drag
kinging, Bangladeshi underground music, urban arts interventions
and sites like single performance venues, urban neighbourhoods in
various states of gentrification, and virtual networks of game
consoles in countless living rooms - the authors demonstrate how
'scene thinking' can enrich cultural studies inquiry. As a
humanistic, empirically oriented alternative to network-based
social ontologies, thinking in terms of scenes sensitizes
researchers to complex, fluid processes that are nonetheless
anchored and made meaningful at the level of lived experience. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Cultural
Studies.
