Armed with cheap digital technologies and a fiercely independent
spirit, millions of young people from around the world have taken
cultural production into their own hands, crafting their own
clothing lines, launching their own record labels, and forging a
vast, collaborative network of impassioned amateurs more interested
in making than consuming.
"DIY Style" tells the story of this international do-it-yourself
(DIY) movement through a major case study of one of its biggest,
but least known contingents: the "indie" music and fashion scene of
the predominantly Muslim Southeast Asian island nation of
Indonesia. Through rich ethnographic detail, in-depth historical
analysis, and cutting-edge social theory, the book chronicles the
rise of DIY culture in Indonesia, and also explores the phenomenon
in Europe and the United States, painting an evocative portrait of
vibrant communities who are not only making and distributing
popular culture on their own terms, but working to tear down the
barriers between production and consumption, third and first world,
global and local. What emerges from the book is a cautiously
optimistic view of the future of global capitalism - a creative,
collectivist alternative built from the ground up.
This exciting and original study is essential reading for students
and scholars of anthropology, fashion, media studies, cultural
studies and sociology.
