Event overview
Richard Hoggart Building, Room 309, Tuesday March 23rd, 5 till 7.00pm, Drinks reception afterwards
Worlds of popular music have been variously theorized as subcultures, scenes, neo-tribes, club cultures and milieu. Which ever term is used to describe them what is evident is that these worlds often offer more than an audio/visual experience. Whether analyzing Goth, hardcore punk, metal, hip-hop, dubstep, rave or drum and bass (amongst other) genres theorists have often shown these groupings to be interwoven with cultural, economic, technological, political and creative practice that illuminates the lifestyle and identity evolution of those involved. This symposium will explore the importance and power of these worlds and interrogate the theoretical frameworks used to analyze them.
Speakers:
Dr Peter Webb Lecturer in Sociology at Goldsmiths College, University of London
Dr Paul Hodkinson Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Surrey
Dr Keith Kahn-Harris Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Religion and Contemporary Society, Birkbeck College
