Lifestyles and subcultures are tools through which people say - to
themselves and to others - who they think they are, who they think
they are similar to, and who they think they are different from.
Lifestyles and subcultures are ways which people adopt to look at
their own lives, and to try to keep together different roles,
different practices and different realms which they are involved
in. Lifestyles and subcultures are lenses through which we, as
observers, analyze society, and orientate ourselves within it,
looking for similarities and differences among individuals and
collectivities which allow us to understand their thoughts and
their actions. This book presents the main analytical approaches
through which lifestyles and subcultures have been studied, and
also proposes a new interpretative perspective. Today a growing
panorama of social phenomena and processes possess intermediate
characteristics with regard to those which in the past were
identified either as lifestyles or as subcultures. The hypothesis
is that consequently these phenomena could be explained and
interpreted by means of an analytical framework developed by the
intersection of these two perspectives, and the last part of the
book is therefore devoted to the presentation of this innovative
framework. This book provides new lenses and a fresh view to try to
both grasp and understand a constantly-changing reality.
