Punk in Russia - Cultural Mutation From the 'Useless' to the 'Moronic'

Der baseballkeulenschwingende Glatzkopf in Bomberjacke und Springerstiefeln personifiziert in der öffentlichen Meinung das Problem des Rechtsextremismus wie kaum jemand sonst. Dennoch ist über den Zusammenhang von Skinheadsein und rechtsextremer Orientierung wissenschaftlich fast nichts bekannt. Die Studie untersucht aktuell oder vormals rechtsextrem orientierte Skinheads und zeigt, wie und warum Skinheads zu einer rechtsextremen Auffassung gelangen, unter welchen Bedingungen sie diese ggf. wieder ablegen und in welcher Weise Skin-Kultur und politische Orientierung sich beeinflussen.

Report

"We can confidently say that the ethnographies here support the general anthropological positions that culture is locally (in place and time) constructed, embodied, contested, and unstable, with no timeless 'essence' but only specific shifting formations. Bringing these insights to Russia and to music is a worthwhile task that scholars and students alike should find enlightening." Jack David Eller Anthropology Review Database
