Subcultures have long captured the imagination of sociologists and the public alike. Making an important contribution to sociology, Subcultures is delightful reading for those who are interested in groups at the fringes of society such as Dead heads, members of the LGBTQ culture, gamers, and even subcultural elements of some alt-right groups.


Illustrating the diverse application of the 'subculture' concept within sociology, this edited collection showcases insights ranging from studies on music subcultures, to groups who are formed through their leisurely pursuits (e.g. live action roleplaying and backpacking), and how these groups develop their sense of self and identity. Using a diverse range of approaches, the chapters illustrate the flexibility in the subculture concept - at times stretching the term to its breaking point.


This lively collection of articles is of interest to those wanting to know more about the core principles of symbolic interactionism, and the diversity of human life.

Christopher T. Conner is Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Missouri - Columbia, USA. His work has been featured in top sociology journals including The Sociological Quarterly, YOUNG, Sexualities, and Symbolic Interaction. His research interests are at the intersection of Deviance, Criminology, and LGBTQ Studies.
