New Cultural Capitals: Urban Pop Cultures in Focus
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. The modern city, the locus of contemporary popular cultural production, is also the site where marginal if not marginalised individuals and groups invariably coalesce and develop their distinctive practices, representations, and identities in the interstices of established culture. The chapters in this volume explore the urban pop cultural imagination in the modern metropolis in three sections. ‘Visible Cities,’ analyses those visual phenomena in the modern city that attest to the complicating presence of otherwise marginalised agents and spaces. ‘Recreations,’ considers those leisure-time practices that nonetheless...

DIY Cultures and Underground Music Scenes
This volume examines the global influence and impact of DIY cultural practice as this informs the production, performance and consumption of underground music in different parts of the world.

The chapters combine insights from established academic writers with the work of younger scholars, some of whom are directly engaged in contemporary underground music scenes.

Reclaiming Basque
The Basque language, Euskara, is one of Europe’s most ancient tongues and a vital part of today’s lively Basque culture. Reclaiming Basque examines the ideology, methods, and discourse of the Basque-language revitalization movement over the course of the past century and the way this effort has unfolded alongside the simultaneous Basque nationalist struggle for autonomy. Jacqueline Urla employs extensive long-term fieldwork, interviews, and close examination of a vast range of documents in several media to uncover the strategies that have been used to preserve and revive Euskara and the various controversies that have arisen among Basque-language advocates.

Los años ochenta y la heroína en Gipuzkoa
El consumo masivo de la heroína tuvo sus orígenes a finales de los años setenta, pero sería a principios de los ochenta, en buena parte como consecuencia de la aparición del VIH, el momento en que la sociedad vasca reaccionó con alarma ante las dramáticas consecuencias de la que por entonces se denominó epidemia de la heroína: la muerte por sobredosis o por el sida, la asociación entre consumo y distintas formas de delincuencia, la espectacularización mediática y cinematográfica de la realidad de la drogadicción; sucesos que generaron tal clima social que en esta obra se han caracterizado, recurriendo a la sociología, como “pánico moral”. Este trabajo intenta alejarse de ...
