122: Italian Goth and Social Ontology

This month we are talking about the book ‘Italian Goth
Subculture: Kindred Creatures and other Dark Enactments’. We’ll
be exploring the ways Italian Darks brought forth their
subculture in the 80’s through activism, social interaction,
consumption practices (literature, art, and music) and the
negotiation of subcultural canon. We’ll also be discussing the
similarities and differences of these enactments to today’s goth
subculture and examining the academic frameworks used to
understand the stories shared by 24 Italian darks.


You can purchase the book for yourself here! We highly recommend
it.
