Beispiel: Subkulturforschung des CCCS

Question

Answer 1

 Subkulturbegriff des Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS), University of Birmingham (Clarke et al. 1976; Willis 1981)

„We understand the word ‚culture’ to refer to that level at which social groups develop distinct
patterns of life, and give expressive form to their social and material life-experience. Culture is the way, the forms, in which groups ‚handle’ the raw material of their social and material existence. [...] The ‚culture’ of a group or class is the peculiar and distinctive ‚way of life’ of the group or class, the meanings, values and ideas embodied in institutions, in social relations, in systems of beliefs, in mores and customs, in the uses of objects and material life.“
„What we mean is that a sub-culture, though differing in important ways – in its ‚focal concerns’, its peculiar shapes and activities – from the culture from which it derives, will also share some things in common with that ‚parent’ culture.“
 Als Stammkulturen werden soziale Klassen angenommen: Bürgertum → z.B. Boheme, Hippies („Gegenkulturen“) Arbeiterklasse → z.B. Gangs, Rocker („Subkulturen“ im engen Sinn)
 Probleme: Nicht alle Subkulturen sind klassengebunden (z.B. Punks) und ihre soziale Zusammensetzung kann sich ändern
 Keine befriedigende Erklärung der Einmündung in eine Subkultur
