This volume critically examines 'subculture' in a variety of
Australian contexts, exploring the ways in which the terrain of
youth cultures and subcultures has changed over the past two
decades and considering whether 'subculture' still works as a
viable conceptual framework for studying youth culture. Richly
illustrated with concrete case studies, the book is thematically
organised into four sections addressing i) theoretical concerns and
global debates over the continued usefulness of subculture as a
concept; ii) the important place of 'belonging' in subcultural
experience and the ways in which belonging is played out across an
array of youth cultures; iii) the gendered experiences of young men
and women and their ways of navigating subcultural participation;
and iv) the ethical and methodological considerations that arise in
relation to researching and teaching youth culture and subculture.
Bringing together the latest interdisciplinary research to combine
theoretical considerations with recent empirical studies of
subcultural experience, Youth Cultures and Subcultures will appeal
to scholars and students across the social sciences.
This book explores emergent intimate practices in social media
cultures. It examines new digital intimacies as they are
constituted, lived, and commodified via social media platforms. The
study of social media practices has come to offer unique insights
into questions about what happens to power dynamics when intimate
practices are made public, about intimacy as public and political,
and as defined by cultural politics and pedagogies, institutions,
technologies, and geographies. This book forges new pathways in the
scholarship of digital cultures by fusing queer and feminist
accounts of intimate publics with critical scholarship on digital
identities and everyday social media practices. The collection
brings together a diverse range of carefully selected, cutting-edge
case studies and groundbreaking theoretical work on topics such as
selfies, oversharing, hook-up apps, sexting, Gamergate, death and
grief online, and transnational family life. The book is divided
into three parts: ‘Shaping Intimacy’, ‘Public Bodies’, and
‘Negotiating Intimacy’. Overarching themes include identity
politics, memory, platform economics, work and labour, and everyday
media practices.
This collection brings together perspectives drawn from a range of
international scholars who have conducted research into the
applications of neo-tribal theory. The concept of the neo-tribe was
first introduced by the French sociologist Michel Mafessoli (1996)
to describe new forms of social bonds in the context of late
modernity. This book critically explores the concepts that underpin
neo-tribal theory, using perspectives from different disciplines,
through a series of theoretically informed and empirically rich
chapters. This innovative approach draws together a recently
emergent body of work in cultural consumption, tourism and
recreation studies. In doing so, the book critically progresses the
concept of neo-tribe and highlights the strengths, weaknesses and
the opportunities for the application of neo-tribal theory in an
interdisciplinary way.
