Howdy list,

I just got my copy of _After Subcultures_ ed Bennett and Kahn-Harris
and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some
work (if it exists) that does not follow the regular music/style line
about the BCCCS work.

ie in their intro Bennett and Kahn-Harris write: "Representing as it
did the first attempt to provide a systematic social theory of music
and style-driven youth cultures, *Resistance Through Rituals* quickly
became a key text both in youth research and in the teaching of youth
culture as an academic subject." (1)

In *Resistance Through Rituals* there are many essays/extracts that are
not primarily concerned with music and/or style. What I am after is
help finding any work that members of the list may know that uses or
engages with the general BCCCS framework (in a positive/affirmative or
critical manner) but does so without the now normal focus on style or
music subcultures. I am thinking along the lines of Jon Stratton's
piece in the _Subcultures Reader_ or Bert Moorhouse's very brief
comments in his _Driving Ambitions_ regarding Paul Willis's work.

Ciao,
Glen.
