Punk Identities, Punk Utopias: Global Punk and Media seeks to
unpack and illuminate punk as a trajectory of 'timelesness...as a
set of diverse but confluent values and appropriations' that have
both reflected and informed an increasingly complex, indefinable
social, political and economic setting. Whereas the first two
volumes in the series were broadly focused on local punk 'scenes'
in a disparate range of countries and regions around the world,
Punk Identities, Punk Utopias extends that critical enquiry to
reflect broader social, political and technological concerns
impacting punk scenes around the world, from digital technology and
new media to gender, ethnicity, identity and representation. This
new volume therefore draws upon the interdisciplinary areas of
cultural studies, musicology and social sciences to present an
edited text on the notion of identities, ideologies and cultural
discourse surrounding contemporary global punk scenes. It is hoped
that the books in the Global Punk series will add to the academic
discussion of contemporary popular culture, particularly in
relation to punk and the critical understanding of transnational
and cross-cultural dialogue. Punk is a global phenomenon and the
Global Punk series aims to reflect contemporary scenes around the
world since the millennium. Punk and its subsequent variants, from
hardcore to post-punk, have always crossed borders and become
assimilated within countercultural practices with local, national
and regional variations. Produced in collaboration between the Punk
Scholars Network and Intellect Books, the Global Punk book series
focuses on the development of contemporary global punk (c. 2000
onwards), reflecting upon its origins, aesthetics, identity,
legacy, membership and circulation. Critical approaches draw upon
the interdisciplinary areas of (among others) cultural studies, art
and design, sociology, musicology and social sciences in order to
develop a broad and inclusive picture of punk and punk-inspired
subcultural developments around the globe. The series adopts an
essentially analytical perspective, raising questions about the
dissemination of punk scenes and subcultures and their form,
structure and contemporary cultural significance in the daily lives
of an increasing number of people around the world. This book has a
genuine crossover appealed. It will be a key resource for
established academics, postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. students,
as well as being suitable for adoption as an undergraduate student
textbook. Suitable courses will include those in the fields of
popular music, youth culture, sociology, urban/cultural geography,
political history, heritage studies, media and cultural studies.
