FRSEMR 46u - Punks, Queers, and Pakistanis: Subcultures in Modern Britain

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

British cultural theorists developed the idea of subculture to explain the startling emergence of groups like punks, mods, and skinheads. In this course, subcultures will be our passport to the undergrounds and by-ways of modern Britain. We will consider some themes of British history, including the loss of empire, the rise of consumer culture, and the emergence of queer politics. We will also consider the uses of "subculture" as a category for understanding modern societies.
