The purpose of this work is to apply the methods of textual semiotics to subcultures, in particular to the little known glam subculture. Subcultures have been the main research field of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies, known for its interdisciplinary approach, and for its focus on the creative aspects of subculture. Hebdige, in particular, introduced many semiotic elements in his work, as the aberrant decoding after Eco and the cultural creativity via bricolage after Lévi-Strauss. His definition of subculture as symbolic resistance has been criticized by the following post-subcultural researchers for its abstractness and lack of cohesion. Semiotics eventually have been expelled from the set of tools used in sociology for the analysis of subcultures. Nowadays, the studies on subcultures have a strong ethnographic focus. Due to terminological proliferation and a descriptive approach, it is difficult to compare them on a common basis. ...

It is analyzed the relationship among the self-organization theory, dialectics and the critical theory, around the study of the Web 2.0 and the social networking sites. Also, it is explained the role of the labour theory of value into the MCMS, as a means to set up the critique of the digital labour, performed by the user of the social networking sites. In this way, it is exposed the concept of Web 3.0 as a means to supersede the Web 2.0, and insofar as a process of democratic participation, based on the construction of alternative media. ; Este artículo introduce los Estudios Marxistas de la Cultura y los Medios (EMCM) a Latinoamérica y expone los principales fundamentos teóricos y epistemológicos de los estudios marxistas de la cultura y los medios. Se analiza la relación entre la teoría de la auto-organización, la dialéctica y la teoría crítica, alrededor del estudio de la Web 2.0 y de los sitios de redes sociales. Además, se explica el rol de la teoría marxiana del valor dentro de los EMCM, como medio para establecer la crítica del trabajo digital alienado realizado por el usuario de los sitios de redes sociales. En este sentido, se expone el concepto de Web 3.0 como medio para la superación dialéctica de la Web 2.0, en cuanto proceso de participación democrática, basada en la construcción de medios alternativos.
