Punk-as style, genre, attitude-is most frequently recognized as a musical phenomenon, which emerged in the mid-l 970s as an anarchic, sometimes satiric, always disruptive force.

The course will examine a number of artifacts that articulated and incorporated punk's style and energy: records and reviews, but also prose fiction, film, visual arts, graphic narrative, and theoretical discourse.
