"Schwiiz brännt". Achtziger Jugendunruhen et scènes punks suisses : entre reprise, immersion et détachement

Au début des années 80, deux secousses touchent la Suisse avec d'un côté l'explosion du mouvement punk et de l'autre de fortes mobilisations au sein de la jeunesse du pays, les Achtziger Jugendunruhen. Cet article analyse l'articulation de ces deux phénomènes. Au sein d'un espace contestataire fortement composite, le punk finit par jouer un rôle central, le mouvement dans son ensemble mettant en avant certains enjeux culturels, reprenant des éléments de la panoplie punk comme l'édition de fanzine, et choisissant des musiciens punks parmi ses porte-paroles. Cette jonction marque la forte spécificité de la Suisse, autant par l'implication de la scène punk au sein d'un mouvement contestataire plus large que par la recrudescence des mobilisations de la jeunesse au moment où elles se font de plus en plus rares en Europe. Elle peut se comprendre par une communauté d'intérêts (obtenir des lieux pour exprimer sa propre culture) et de valeurs (l'opposition au conservatisme). Néanmoins, cette force présence des aspects culturels au sein des Achtziger Jugendunruhen ne doit pas conduire à les réduire à ces seuls enjeux. Au contraire, les différents discours du mouvement mettent en avant l'autonomie comme volonté de changement radical, ainsi que des revendications plus larges comme la solidarité internationale ou la question du logement. Ainsi cet article vise à la fois à mieux comprendre la nature des Achtziger Jugendunruhen et à développer une analyse historique des années 80 d'une part et du conservatisme helvétique d'autre part.

Punks and believers An ethnographic study of subcultural, religious and non-religious identities in Indonesian punk scenes

Punk subculture is often assumed to have an antagonistic disposition towards religion. In this thesis, I examine this relationship in the Indonesian context, where the level of religious devotion is higher than in Western societies. I concentrate on how Indonesian punks who belong to secular punk communities negotiate the relationship between their religious or non-religious and subcultural identities. In addition, I examine the status of religion on the collective level in the punk communities. I collected the ethnographic data on Java in 2012. In addition to semi-structured interviews and participant observation, the analyzed data consists of social media sites, punk records and an online enquiry. I utilized thematic analysis in the study. The notion of identity is understood the way Stuart Hall has conceptualized it. Another essential concept, affect, is derived from Lawrence Grossberg’s theorization. The religious participants separated punk and religion in their lives. Many Muslim informants used an Islamic typology to separate one’s personal relationship with Allah and one’s relationship with other people. While some participants filtered away certain elements of “Western punk”, the majority of them saw ideological similarities between punk and Islam. This relationship was negotiated using both affective and ideological rationalizations. Non-religious punks respected religious people, but criticized radical forms of religiosity. Some of them described the difficulties of maintaining a non-religious identity in Indonesia, and that they have felt less marginalized in the punk community. Almost all of the participants stated that punk scenes should be religiously neutral and viewed integrating punk and religion as a problematic phenomenon.

Crisis civilizatoria y marginalidad : un estudio del movimiento punk.

Conocer mejor los punks canarios, verificando: a)Los punks representan un estilo subcultural que se caracteriza por unas actitudes radicalmente disconformes con el estado actual de las cosas. b) Ese radicalismo y disconformidad es bastante más intenso que el de los otros sectores de la sociedad. c) Los punks son un auténtico grupo, dada la cohesión e integración de sus miembros en torno a dichas actitudes además de otros aspectos: música, apariencia, etc. 403 sujetos: 204 de Bachillerato y Formación Profesional; 157 universitarios; 42 punks. Se distribuyó también por sexo, edad, estado civil, tipo de residencia, dependencia económica, profesión del padre e ingresos aproximados de la familia al mes. Se utilizó un diseño correlacional para determinar las relaciones existentes entre las actitudes que se pretenden medir y las diferentes categorías de sujetos. Las variables que se estudian son: radicalismo, antiautoritarismo, desconfianza en el futuro y tolerancia sexual. Las variables controladas: categoría social de los sujetos (universitarios, no universitarios y punks), orden de presentación de las escalas y el cuestionario, la tendencia a la aquiescencia, etc. 1.

En el interior del colectivo punk, aquellos que más contribuyen con sus respuestas a que disminuyeran las puntuaciones medias, fueron los punks de Santa Cruz de Tenerife, contrariamente con los de La Laguna. 2. Respecto al factor sexualidad libre, aparece una distancia significativa entre las mujeres punks, que puntúan más alto y las mujeres universitarias. 3. Con respecto al grado de desconfianza en el futuro aparece una actitud combinada de escepticismo, inmediatismo y combatividad. 1. Según los resultados obtenidos en las cuatro escalas de actitudes, las hipótesis que se planteaban al principio han quedado demostradas. 2. Se ratifica que los punks, más que una simple categoría o sector social, poseen una identidad simbólica, ritual que les proporciona una cohesión o conciencia de grupo, que está ausente o está menos acentuado en otros conjuntos humanos que carecen de señas identificatorias específicas.

Youth/youth cultures

Youth is an embodied social construct attached to people who are too young to be classified as fully adult, and yet older than children. It is a term whose meaning is sociospatially specific and shifting. Youth and young people are often perceived as troubling to society, and the earliest studies of youth were tied to attempts to control unruly young people. Studies of youth cultures often utilized ethnographic research to explore the perspectives of young people. Early youth cultural studies inadvertently reproduced some dominant representations of youth, as male and troubling to society, by focusing upon subcultural groupings, such as Punks and Mods, and by excluding accounts of those other than white, heterosexual males. Recent studies have moved beyond these accounts to consider how youth cultures are porous, differentiated rather than holistic, connected to broader sociospatial processes, and can reproduce powerful social relationships, such as gender, along with teasing out how youth cultures are played out differently in various geographical contexts.

'Hey little rich boy, take a good look at me': punk, class and British oi!

This article looks at the controversial music genre Oi! in relation to youth cultural identity in late 1970s and early 1980s Britain. By examining the six compilation albums released to promote Oi! as a distinct strand of punk, it seeks to challenge prevailing dismissals of the genre as inherently racist or bound to the politics of the far right. Rather, Oi! – like punk more generally – was a contested cultural form. It was, moreover, centred primarily on questions of class and locality. To this end, Oi! sought to realize the working-class rebellion of punk’s early aesthetic; to give substance to its street-level pretentions and offer a genuine ‘song from the streets’.

Good is generally more alike than bad in the information ecology: Investigating the case of (the ABC model of) group stereotypes

On most if not all evaluatively relevant dimensions such as the temperature level, taste intensity, and nutritional value of a meal, one range of adequate, positive states is framed by two ranges of inadequate, negative states, namely too much and too little. This distribution of positive and negative states in the information ecology results in a higher similarity of positive objects, people, and events to other positive stimuli as compared to the similarity of negative stimuli to other negative stimuli. In other words, there are fewer ways in which an object, a person, or an event can be positive as compared to negative. Oftentimes, there is only one way in which a stimulus can be positive (e.g., a good meal has to have an adequate temperature level, taste intensity, and nutritional value). In contrast, there are many different ways in which a stimulus can be negative (e.g., a bad meal can be too hot or too cold, too spicy or too bland, or too fat or too lean). This higher similarity of positive as compared to negative stimuli is important, as similarity greatly impacts speed and accuracy on virtually all levels of information processing, including attention, classification, categorization, judgment and decision making, and recognition and recall memory. Thus, if the difference in similarity between positive and negative stimuli is a general phenomenon, it predicts and may explain a variety of valence asymmetries in cognitive processing (e.g., positive as compared to negative stimuli are processed faster but less accurately). In my dissertation, I show that the similarity asymmetry is indeed a general phenomenon that is observed in thousands of words and pictures. Further, I show that the similarity asymmetry applies to social groups. Groups stereotyped as average on the two dimensions agency / socio-economic success (A) and conservative-progressive beliefs (B) are stereotyped as positive or high on communion (C), while groups stereotyped as extreme on A and B (e.g., managers, homeless people, punks, and religious people) are stereotyped as negative or low on C. As average groups are more similar to one another than extreme groups, according to this ABC model of group stereotypes, positive groups are mentally represented as more similar to one another than negative groups. Finally, I discuss implications of the ABC model of group stereotypes, pointing to avenues for future research on how stereotype content shapes social perception, cognition, and behavior.
