Subcultures and Participatory Culture
According to Talcott Parsons, youth or adolescence is a "social category which emerged with the changing family roles generated by the development of capitalism" (Barker 407). One relatively recent classification scheme to help bring a better understanding of youth, specifically the teenager, is "subculture" (e.g., cosplayers, Goth, hip-hop, metal, punk, skaters, and video gamers). Can you please help me tp Write an essay that reveals something important about one subculture and that subculture's relation to political, cultural, and/or economic reality. Your essay might address any of the following questions:
1. What is produced and consumed by this subculture?
2. How do television, music, film, and/or social media construct this subculture?
3. How does this subculture participate in and shape political, economic, and/or cultural space?
Can you please make clear connections to our post-midterm critical and theoretical texts (e.g., Barker's Cultural Studies and Canvas supplemental essays/chapters) with quoting, paraphrasing, and in-body citations?
