Hipsterism - Subkulturell Renässans
Malmö högskola, Faculty of Culture and Society (KS).
2011 (Swedish)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
Abstract [sv]

Uppsatsen är ett försök att applicera kulturvetenskaplig teori på en kontemporär subkultur. På så sätt kan den avkodas och dess kopplingar till samhällstendenser kan belysas. Tesen är att hipsterismen innehåller element som utmanar sättet vi vanligtvis tolkar och förstår ungdomskulturer på. Vidare visar forskningen att hipsterismen är ett resultat av nästan 40 år av nyliberal kapitalistisk utveckling, kombinerat med gentrifiering, konsumtionsvanor, kulturellt kapital och subkultur.

Abstract [en]

This essay is an attempt to apply the theories from the cultural studies tradition on a contemporary subculture, decoding and reviewing the societal implications of the cultural phenomenon that is the hipster. The thesis is that hipsterism contains elements that challenges the way we usually view and understand youth culture. The thesis argues that hipsterism is a result of 40 years of neo-liberal capitalistic progress, combining elements of gentrification, consumption, cultural capital and subculture.
