英国伯明翰学派早期亚文化研究探微

亚文化研究是伯明翰学派早期最有影响力的研究之一,它奠定了早期伯明翰学派在西方学术界的地位。通过运用社会学、人类学中的民族志学、符号学和结构主义等理论方法,学派成员把研究的焦点放在“亚文化”的建构过程、亚文化群体与母体文化的关系、亚文化与主流文化之间的关系、以及亚文化之间进行“对抗”与“收编”的历史过程。保罗·威利斯、迪克·赫伯狄格和安吉娜·麦克萝碧等人的研究成果代表了伯明翰学派早期亚文化研究的水平。

Subculture Studies in the 1970's & 1980's Birmingham School of Culture Studies

Subcultures is one of the most influential researches in Birmingham School of Cultural Studies during the 1970's and 1980's. Scholars and researchers focus their interests on such issues as the construction and implication of subcultures, the historical concept of subcultures, the interrelation of subcultures and parent cultures, of subcultures and class cultures, of subcultures and dominant cultures, and even subculture's interrelation of opposition to, or incorporation in the dominant culture in terms of sociology, ethnographic approaches, the tools of semiotics and the structuralist. The three representatives Paul Willis, Dick Hebdige, and Angela McRobbie contribute significantly to the idea and the concept of subcultures in Birmingham School.
