Cool Places: Geographies of Youth Cultures
ISBN-13: 9780415149204 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 396 str.
Drawing on examples from Europe, UK, Scandinavia, US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, this volume introduces the ideas of culture and space - identity politics, gender, race, class, disability, sexuality, performativity, power, agency - through a context directly relevant to lived experience: youth cultures. Divided into four sections covering representation, scale, resistance and place (home, school, street, shop, work, club), the authors introduce theoretical concepts and problematics of the geographies of youth, around themes and first-person vignettes. This edited collection draws together recent thinking within social, cultural and feminist studies to focus upon the complexities of youth cultures and their spatial representations and interactions.
Cool Places explores the contrasting experiences of contemporary youth. The chapters draw on techno music and ecstasy in Germany, clubbing in London, global backpacking and gangs in Santa Cruz as well as expereinces at home, on the streets and seeking employment. The contributors use these examples to explore representation and resistance and geographical concepts of scale and place in young people's lives within social, cultural and feminist studies to focus upon the complexities of youth cultures and their spatial representations and interactions.
