Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Since the early twentieth century youth has been the focus of extensive sociological, cultural, and political concern. The concepts of 'youth culture' and 'youth subculture' have been used with various degrees of success to analyse young people's individual and collective identities and behaviour. This course surveys the nature, impact and value of key strands in this scholarship. It begins by considering the development of theories of adolescence in the early twentieth century, together with the analysis of urban subcultures produced at the University of Chicago. Attention is then given to the explosion of youth culture and the commercial youth market during the 1950s and 1960s, and to the development of various 'countercultural' movements during the late 1960s and 1970s. Particular consideration is given to the various cultural studies approaches developed by theorists working at the University of Birmingham (UK) and to subsequent examples of contemporary subcultural and 'post-subcultural' theory and research encompassing issues of generation, gender and ethnicity.
