Beschreibung
"Goth creates its distinctive way of life by appropriating materials from a vast array of cultural phenomena--post-punk music, gothic literary tradition, pre-Christian mythology, sexual nonconformity, aesthetic avant-gardes--all of which it adopts primarily as style. Goth style is thus both dizzyingly heterogeneous and instantly recognizable. It is hard to imagine a single book that could do this subculture justice; yet by assembling contributors from a range of disciplines and judiciously including many voices of subcultural participants themselves, "Goth: Undead Subculture" manages to depict, while also reflecting critically on, this subculture's enduring appeal. This collection will be the definitive work on its topic."--Tim Dean, author of "Beyond Sexuality"
