Punk Rock and the Politics of Place

This book is an ethnographic investigation of punk subculture as well as a treatise on the importance of place: a location with both physical form and cultural meaning. Rather than examining punk as a sound or a style as many previous works have done, it investigates the places that the subculture occupies and the cultural practices tied to those spaces. Since social groups need spaces of their own to practice their way of life, this work relates punk values and practices to the forms of their built environments. As not all social groups have an equal ability to secure their own spaces, the book also explores the strategies punks use to maintain space and what happens when they fail to do so.

Jeffrey S. Debies-Carl is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of New Haven.

Conclusion

Many people, directly or indirectly, have been instrumental to the successful completion of this book. First, I would like to thank everyone who generously gave of their time to talk to me about punk. The insight they granted me regarding their personal lives and experiences has been invaluable. Without their contributions, this project simply would not have been possible. I cannot expect that these participants will agree with everything I have written or with all of the conclusions I have drawn, but I hope they will feel that I have honored their perspectives and made evident my deep appreciation of their contributions.

I would like to extend further gratitude to those who, indirectly, have contributed to this study by making available the many sources and places that were the subjects of the study: the zinesters, bands, venue operators, bloggers, and punk music enthusiasts who ensure that punk remains a vibrant, relevant, and very much a living movement despite the periodic claims we hear to the contrary. Without these individuals and their creations, there would be no punk subculture. Where possible, I have credited these sources in the following pages.
