Hi Eloise, Are you looking at specific geographies as well? I know of some work done by Eva Tsai at the National Taiwan University, Taipei, who has made some very interesting interventions with popular youth subcultures in Taiwan and what happens when they get inflected with digital technologies. However, her work is very specific to the national geography of Taiwan. She has published some work in the Inter Asia Cultural Studies Journal, but is also easy to approach and very friendly to younger scholars. Hope that helps. Sorry I do not have a bibliographic entry for her. regards Nishant On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 10:42 PM, Eloise Tan <eloise.tan@mail.mcgill.ca> wrote:
Hi,
I'm researching youth subcultures - specifically hip hop - and virtual communities. I'm looking at how youth in subcultures like hip hop are engaging on-line around any aspect of hip hop subculture such as the music, fashion, videos, graffiti, breakdancing. One of the big questions I'm asking is if and how online involvement is challenging authenticity and identity within youth subcultures.
Does anybody know of any research that would be related?
