Explores the notion of identities, ideologies, and cultural discourse in contemporary global punk scenes. Punk Identities, Punk Utopias unpacks punk and the factors that shape its increasingly complex and indefinable social, political, and economic setting. The third offering in Intellect' s Global Punk series, produced in collaboration with the Punk Scholars Network, this volume examines the broader social, political, and technological concerns that affect punk scenes around the world, from digital technology and new media to gender, ethnicity, identity, and representation. Drawing on scholarship in cultural studies, musicology, and social sciences, this interdisciplinary collection will add to the academic discussion of contemporary popular culture, particularly in relation to punk and the critical understanding of transnational and cross-cultural dialogue.

Trans-Global Punk Scenes: The Punk Reader Volume 2

' This timely addition to the continually growing punk corpus reveals how punkidentities are negotiated in a variety of social, economic and cultural realities. It examineshow punk paradoxically changes and stays the same. It shows local solutions to globalpunk issues and provides both sociological and scientific methods and approaches tocritically work on, with and through the complexities of punk, in all its manifestations. ' Dr Giacomo Botta, University of Helsinki, Finland ' The essays in this volume offer some new interpretations of how punk subcultureintersects with more specific and nuanced questions about gender, feminism, ethnicityand specific national punk scenes. This chimes with an important undercurrent incontemporary punk studies: namely the growing realisation that, far from being ableto define punk or indeed summarise its legacy in a neat way, punk as a discourse isincreasingly useful as a ' elastic' term that presents researchers from many disciplinaryfields with an analytical framework that is challenging, interesting and adaptable. ' Dr Anita Raghunath, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands ' Where punk has been about challenging political and cultural fascism on the outside,this book challenges punk itself, diving directly into critical debates aroundgender identity and inclusion, the maintenance of toxic masculinity and the need toconstantly critically re-evaluate the relationship between DIY cultural performanceand technology. This is the kind of punk reader we need today. Richly woven withintricate histories that help us make sense of where we have been as we desperatelywork towards where we need to go. Read deeply, share widely, and cite often. ' michael b macdonald, MacEwan University, Canada
