Fight, Flight, or Chill

Subcultures, Youth, And Rave into the Twenty-first Century

Edición de la obra Fight, Flight, or Chill

This books explores the extent to which raver youths' experiences are constrained or determined by individualistic, high-tech, mass-mediated Western culture in which alientated and unfulfilled youth are apparently more at-risk for escapist and thrill-seeking behaviours. Wilson considers how raver youth creatively and proactively subvert these constraints in novel and empowering ways--from political activism to symbolic and stylistic expressions of resistance to community-building efforts.
