This new collection is the second in the Global Punk series.
Following the publication of the first volume the series editors
invited proposals for a second volume, and selected contributions
from a range of interdisciplinary areas, including cultural
studies, musicology, ethnography, art and design, history and the
social sciences. This collection extends the theme into new
territories, with a particular emphasis on contemporary global punk
scenes, post-2000, reflecting upon the notion of origin, music(s),
identity, careers, membership and circulation. This area of
subcultural studies is far less documented than more 'historical'
work related to earlier punk scenes and subcultures of the late
1970s and early 1980s. This new volume covers countries and regions
including New Zealand, Indonesia, Cuba, Ireland, South Africa,
Siberia and the Philippines, alongside thematic discussions
relating to trans-global scenes, the evolution of subcultural
styles, punk demographics and the notion of punk identity across
cultural and geographic boundaries. The book series adopts an
essentially analytical perspective, raising questions over the
dissemination of punk scenes 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 market, being designed in such a way that it can
be adopted as an undergraduate student textbook while at the same
time having important currency as a key resource for established
academics, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. In terms of
the undergraduate market for the book, it is likely that it will be
adopted by convenors of courses on popular music, youth culture and
in discipline areas such as sociology, popular music studies,
urban/cultural geography, political history, heritage studies,
media and cultural studies.
