A scholoarly conference on punk? I never knew those two things could be spoken with the same breath! Nor do I think they should! Isn't punk culture a form of rebellion against modern societal/political structures and educational systems?
The Sex Pistols would have hated to see this.
the sex pistols, the ramones & any other old school punk band would have hated to see A LOT of things happening about "punk" these days...but, i think, least of these would be people trying to understand the socio-historical phenomenon that spurred the movement. i think it's worth a closer look at if we see punk movement as a crucial part of the evolution of youth [sub]culture...
i myself am writing a study on zines (as a by product of the punk movement/culture) , and it's not because i would want to co-opt the little that is left of the underground punk/hc culture.
kumbaga...naranasan ko siya eh. nanggaling din ako dun. bakit hindi ko gamitin yung alam ko sa teoryang pangliteratura/pilosopiya/media para ma-articulate kung gano kaganda/kagaling ng zine community. di ba?
You may be right.
Or maybe its better to just let people figure these things out for themselves. I personally feel it's always more special when people learn things via their own effort instead of having people teach it to them. So be it if there are only a few who will ever learn these things on their own.
Just my opinion, I guess.
