Hardcore Research
Hardcore Research: Punk, Practice, Politics provides a comprehensive insight into the most active, outspoken, and widely received scholarly positions in the academic discourses on hardcore and punk.
Grinding California
»Grinding California« provides the first academic analysis of the subculture of skate punk at book-length. It establishes highly critical evaluations of the discourses that influenced early skateboarding and punk cultures. Based on an examination of songs, flyers, magazines, and videos, Konstantin Butz revisits American popular cultures of the 1980s and approaches them from a variety of theoretical and methodological angles. He introduces contemplations of the rebellious potential that can be located within skate punk's material and corporeal contestations of the site-specific locale of suburban Southern California. Theoretical recourses to thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Jean Baudrillard and Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht are topped off with excerpts from interviews with some of the most influential protagonists of the 1980s skate punk scene.

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.

Skateboard Studies
Skateboarding is not immediately associated with university research projects. It is first and foremost a physical activity, and no scholarly approach can substitute for the empirical knowledge gained through the act of skateboarding itself--the movement of the body with and on a skateboard.Nevertheless, the theoretical implications of this movement and its spatial, cultural, and social settings are ripe for exploration within a number of different academic disciplines. The publication provides a comprehensive insight into these discourses.Since skateboarding can influence and touch upon so many aspects of our everyday life through its unique appropriation of and relation to the urban environment, the theoretical reflections and discursive explorations it triggers can alter the way we think and move.
Culture - Theory - Disability
Which theoretical and methodological approaches of contemporary cultural criticism resonate within the field of disability studies? What can cultural studies gain by incorporating disability more fully into its toolbox for critical analysis?

This essential volume encourages the problematization of disability in connection with critical theories of literary and cultural representation, aesthetics, politics, science and technology, sociology, and philosophy. It includes essays by Lennard J. Davis, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Dan Goodley, Robert McRuer and Margrit Shildrick.

Punk Beyond the Music
Punk Beyond the Music: Tracing Mutations and Manifestations of the Punk Virus expands the conversation about punk from a focus on the musical genre to its surrounding cultural manifestations. Focusing on some of the most recurring practices and characteristics of punk culture —DIY, attitude, outsider identities, symbols, and politics—Iain Ellis engages many illustrative examples to investigate punk beyond the music without losing sight of its significance. Early chapters look at arts that have always existed within the punk subculture (writings, visual arts, films, and humor); subsequent sections examine areas rarely recognized as exhibiting punk characteristics (such as education, sports, crafts, and comics). Taken together, the chapters invite readers on an extensive and unpredictable journey through the evolution of punk’s developments and adaptations.
Urbane Poesie
Das Verschwinden der Litfaßsäulen aus dem öffentlichen Raum markiert eine wichtige kultur- wie mediengeschichtliche Zäsur. Die Verteilung von rhetorischen Werbebotschaften im Raum weicht heute der telekommunikativen Vermittlung von ortlosen Persuasionsstrategien und Werbe-Adressierungen, die eigentlich Zeittechniken sind. Damit verändert sich auch der öffentliche Raum. Was dies medienphilosophisch, politisch, und kulturell bedeutet, wird in diesem Buch durch die exemplarische Dokumentation von Entwürfen erörtert, die von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus der Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln (KHM) für das Projekt '+25 KHM Litfaßsäulen' erstellt wurden und hier zusammen mit ästhetischen, soziologischen, semiotischen und kunstgeschichtlichen Analysen präsentiert werden. Autoren sind neben den Herausgebern: Konstantin Butz, Peter Gendolla, Mi You, Katja Nantke.
