Résumé En s'appuyant essentiellement sur l'exemple de Minor Threat, cet article tente de mettre en évidence l'idéal éthique qui sous-tend la scène hardcore des débuts (années 1980) aux États-Unis, ainsi que la pratique du Do It Yourself. Les affinités de l'attitude DIY avec la pensée des transcendantalistes américains sont mises en évidence, tandis que l'on insiste sur la forme de solidarité spécifique qui unit les acteurs de la scène hardcore, réunis autour d'unidéal d'autodétermination.

In his definitive ethnography of hardcore bodybuilding in Southern California, Klein (1993) examined gender construction in a narcissistic subculture characterized by deceit and excess on many levels. In the present article, I compare my own experiences as a strength athlete and bodybuilding author with some of the observations Klein made at Olympic Gym. Like Klein, I address ironies associated with hardcore bodybuilding and discuss the nature of deviance in the bodybuilding subculture.

An invitation to an ethnographic journey in the world of hardcore punk and beyond, this study explores the plurality of practices underlying the existence of this "music-based subculture." Based on a fine-grained, in-depth multi-sited and mobile ethnographic study of more than ten years, this journey brings the reader to the most local galleries of this underground scene. From the umpteenth basement of a Yokohama club to a shack in the middle of the University of San Diego, via Gothenburg, Tokyo, Geneva or Lyon, a whole repertoire of aesthetic, ideological, discursive and bodily logics and conventions is uncovered and analyzed. Hardcore punk, a radical reinterpretation of punk, both from a musical and an ideological point of view, first appeared on the East Coast of the United States in the early 1980s. Although it has since spread on a (quasi-)global scale, it remains unknown to the general public and has attracted little interest from the social sciences or the press, with rare exceptions focusing on its most spectacular aspects: exacerbated aggression, electric music, ideological positions in strong opposition to the "dominant system." This monograph intends to go beyond these caricatural representations and adopts an anthropological perspective on the daily lives of so-called hardcore-kids, but also on all the collective mediations deployed to build the world of hardcore punk.

For more than 40 years, hardcore and punk have promised to offer an alternative to what is perceived as the norm and the mainstream. Hardcore Research: Punk, Practice, Politics provides a comprehensive insight into some of the most active, outspoken, and widely received scholarly positions in the academic discourses on hardcore and punk and combines them with a variety of new and emerging voices. The book brings together scholars with personal ties to past and present hardcore and punk scenes, who present both insightful and critical examinations of the rich and varied histories of this subcultural phenomenon and its current reverberations at the intersection of cultural practice and academic research.

Ethnographic insights into gender arrangements of Hardcore (-Punk) - and at the same time a draft for a new, gender-sensitive theory of sub-cultures. Marion Schulze, Soziologin, ist Oberassistentin für Geschlechterforschung an der Universität Neuchâtel, Schweiz.

Die Studie bietet auf breiter empirischer Basis - Experteninterviews, Szenepublikationen, quantitative Befragung von über 400 Szenegängern - Einblicke in die Jugendkultur Hardcore. Im Mittelpunkt steht der charakteristische Szeneaktivismus nach dem Prinzip des do it yourself (DIY): Die kulturelle Widerspenstigkeit des DIY-Aktivismus, die Bedeutung des DIY-Engagements als Authentizitätskriterium sowie die Eigenleistung Jugendlicher beim Erwerb und der Vermittlung von DIY-Kompetenzen werden herausgearbeitet. Damit liefert die Studie neue Impulse für die gegenwärtigen jugendkultursoziologischen Diskussionen
