Subcultures in Fiction
摘要
This chapter looks at theoretical and conceptual ways of discussing subcultures focused on literary representations, engagements and constructions. The chapter underpins the book’s emphasis on regarding literary texts as a distinctive method of analysing how subcultures produce meaning and how this contributes to other disciplines in the broader field of subcultural studies. It also discusses the importance of literary form, mode and genre in this context and ends with a typology of different kinds of subcultural fiction.
