This book assesses the legacy of Dick Hebdige and his work on
subcultures in his seminal work, Subculture: The Meaning of Style
(1979). The volume interrogates the concept of subculture put
forward by Hebdige, and asks if this concept is still capable of
helping us understand the subcultures of the twenty-first century.
The contributors to this volume assess the main theoretical trends
behind Hebdige's work, critically engaging with their value and how
they orient a researcher or student of subculture, and also look at
some absences in Hebdige's original account of subculture, such as
gender and ethnicity. The book concludes with an interview with
Hebdige himself, where he deals with questions about his concept of
subculture and the gestation of his original work in a way that
shows his seriousness and humour in equal measure. This volume is a
vital contribution to the debate on subculture from some of the
best researchers and academics working in the field in the
twenty-first century.
