The Subcultural Imagination discusses young adults in subcultures
and examines how sociologists use qualitative research methods to
study them. Through the application of the ideas of C. Wright Mills
to the development of theory-reflexive ethnography, this book
analyses the experiences of young people in different subcultural
settings, as well as reflecting on how young people in subcultures
interact in the wider context of society, biography and history.
From Cuba to London, and Bulgaria to Asia, this book delves into
urban spaces and street corners, young people's parties, gigs, BDSM
fetish clubs, school, the home, and feminist zines to offer a
picture of live sociology in practice. In three parts, the volume
explores: history, biography and subculture; practising reflexivity
in the field; epistemologies, pedagogies and the subcultural
subject. The book offers cutting edge theory and rich empirical
research on social class, gender and ethnicities from both
established and new researchers across diverse disciplinary
backgrounds. It moves the subcultural debate beyond the impasse of
the term's relevance, to one where researchers are fully engaged
with the lives of the subcultural subjects. This innovative edited
collection will appeal to scholars and students in the areas of
sociology, youth studies, media and cultural studies/communication,
research methods and ethnography, popular music studies,
criminology, politics, social and cultural theory, and gender
studies.
