Negli ultimi decenni, le ricerche sociologiche hanno documentato una pluralità fram-mentata e mutevole di identità, pratiche, forme di aggregazione e modelli giovanili. Un am-bito privilegiato per confermare le rilevazioni sono gli studi sulle subculture musicali, in cui assistiamo alla contrapposizione tra le posizioni che mantengono le categorie ortodosse del Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) di Birmingham, pur adeguate al nuovo contesto e integrate con il riferimento a subculture disconosciute (McRobbie e Garber, Willis, Stanley Cohen, Clarke, Frith), e quelle che ridefiniscono i concetti sensibilizzanti e, ispirate dalle teorie post-moderne, propongono un approccio Post-subcultural studies. Ne sono un esempio, le indagini che la Thornton compie sul “capitale subculturale”, quelle sulle “subculture edonistiche” di Redhead, Melechi e Rietveld e gli studi sulle “néo-tribes” fluide ed emozionali, teorizzate da Maffesoli e analizzate nel campo del marketing da Cova e, nel campo degli stili di vita, da Shields, Hetherington, Muggleton, Malbon e Bennett.

Abstract

In the last decades sociological research documented a fragmented and changing plurality of practices, identities, forms of aggregation and youth models. Studies on musical subcultures are a privileged field for the confirmation of survey results; in this field we can see the contrast between the positions based upon the orthodox categories of Birmingham’s Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) – though adequated to new contexts and integrated with references to previously disregarded subcultures (McRobbie and Garber, Willis, Stanley Cohen, Clarke, Frith) – and the positions inspired by postmodern theories, proposing a post-subcultural studies approach. Examples of the latter are Thornton’s studies on subcultural capital, Redhead’s, Melechi and Rietveld works on hedonistic subcultures, and the studies on fluid and emotional “neo-tribes”, theorized by Maffesoli and analyzed in the field of marketing by Cova and in the field of lifestyle by Shields, Hetherington, Muggleton, Malbon and Bennett..
