    Acta paedopsychiatrica·1990

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Cultural Studies
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Youth protest is shifting from intellectual conflict to symbolic-expressive style formations.
    • Dominant cultural concepts and significance patterns are critically examined.
    • Adolescence is a vulnerable life stage, and modern society faces challenges like the 'colonization of the life world' (Habermas).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To decipher subcultural styles (e.g., mods, teds, punks) as symbolic criticism of the established social order.
    • To analyze class-specific subcultural style formation and the role of mass media.
    • To understand subcultures as aids for developing collective and personal identity.

    Main Methods:

    • Critical reflection on dominant concepts of 'culture' and cultural significance.
    • Analysis of subcultural styles as symbolic expressions.
    • Sociological and psychological perspectives on youth identity and societal influence.

    Main Results:

    • Subcultural styles serve as a symbolic form of criticism and rejection of the prevalent social order.
    • Mass media plays a role in the spread, internationalization, and social collection of these styles.
    • Subcultures help young people create and explore alternative lifestyles, aiding identity formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Subcultural style formation is a significant mode of youth protest and identity development.
    • The symbolic-expressive function of subcultures is particularly important in the context of adolescence and societal challenges.
    • Understanding subcultures provides insights into youth's negotiation of identity within modern industrial society.
