University of Sussex, 15 October 2014
Style-based subcultures, scenes and tribes – along with their music genres – have pulsated through the history of social, economic and political change. Distinctive blends of fashion and music have become a defining feature of the cultural landscape. Research into these phenomena has traversed the social sciences and humanities, offering key insights into the interactions which shape everyday experience.
This workshop event reflects the current resurgence of interest in the place of youth and subcultures in shaping the contemporary world. It brings together researchers working in innovative and original ways on the historic significance of subcultural experience. It offers the chance for students and researchers to engage with the key issues that shape current methodologies and approaches, and to reflect on their own work and practice.
