Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to both the basic theoretical definition of subcultural studies and the view of subcultures in the Eastern European environment. We will focus on the basic approaches to subcultures (Birmingham School, Post-Subcultural Turn), on key theories (Moral Panics, Subcultural Capital) and on the setting of post-socialist Europe and the form and meaning that subcultures have taken here.
The student is familiar with the basic theories concerning the current subculture of youth, taking into account the situation in the post-socialist space. The student is able to identify basic contemporary subcultures. The student is able to identify potential dangers (political extremism, social pathology) associated with subcultures.
