This collection explores the representation, articulation and
construction of youth subcultures in a range of texts and contexts.
It brings together scholars working in literary studies, screen
studies, sociology and cultural studies whose research interests
lie in the aesthetics and cultural politics of youth. It
contributes to, and extends, contemporary theoretical perspectives
around youth and youth cultures. Contributors examine a range of
topics, including 'bad girl' fiction of the 1950s, novels by
subcultural writers such as Colin MacInnes, Alex Wheatle and
Courttia Newland, as well as screen representations of Mods, the
1990s Rave culture, heavy metal, and the Manchester scene. Others
explore interventions into subcultural theory with respect to
metal, subcultural locations, abjection, graffiti cultures, and the
potential of subcultures to resist dominant power frameworks in
both historical and contemporary contexts.

The importance of the spatial dimension of the structure,
organization and experience of social relations is fundamental for
sociological analysis and understanding. Space and Social Theory is
an essential primer on the theories of space and inherent
spatiality, guiding readers through the contributions of key and
influential theorists: Marx, Simmel, Lefebvre, Harvey and Foucault.
Giving an essential and accessible overview of social theories of
space, this books shows why it matters to understand these
theorists spatially. It will be of interest to upper level students
and researchers of social theory, urban sociology, urban studies,
human geography, and urban politics.
