It challenges the assumption that subcultural meaning forms a single unified set, instead identifying two patterned sets of meaning. Drawing on six definitions of the mainstream, the study shows how subcultural styles and identities are performed and authenticated through binary boundary work, producing convex and concave patterns that structure differences and relative autonomy.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/performing-punk-subcultural-authentications-and-the-positioning-of-the-mainstream/139805/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/performing-punk-subcultural-authentications-and-the-positioning-of-the-mainstream/139805.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Aurora","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-20","2026-08-24",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",6,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What does the thesis investigate about punk?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The thesis investigates how and against what punk is defined and lived out by punks in Sweden and Indonesia.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How does the thesis view subcultural meaning compared with previous research?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"It argues against the idea that subcultural meaning constitutes a single set, proposing instead two patterned sets of meaning.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What roles do the mainstream and “subcultural authentic” play in the study?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"The mainstream and the subcultural authentic are treated as multiple, differently constructed meanings; the same objects can be performed in different ways using different binaries.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},139805,1787562601,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",[84,88,92,96,101,105,110,114,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":85,"show_sort_weight":86,"slug":87},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":89,"show_sort_weight":90,"slug":91},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":97,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},8,30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":131},{"doc_id":79,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":111,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":80,"read_time":144},4810365810221,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_155a257f0dc6eb9ab79c44ca47cae57d","Performing Punk: Subcultural Authentications and the Positioning of the Mainstream  \nHannerz, Erik  \n2013  \nLink to publication  \nCitation for published version (APA):  \nHannerz, E.

This book takes you on a journey through the previous research on punk and subcultures to how punk is defined and lived out in Sweden and Indonesia—two countries that are, in nearly every sense of the phrase, worlds apart. This study is an exploration of subcultural contrasts and similarities and of the ways that participants similarly enact different subcultural patterns of meaning as they perform and authenticate styles and identities. The book investigates how punk is made, for whom, and in opposition to what, pushing subcultural theory to include multiple set of meanings.  \nER IK HANNE RZ Performing Punk  \nPerforming Punk  \nSubcultural Authentications and the Positioning of the Mainstream  \nErik HannE rz  \nPerforming Punk  \nPERFORMING PUNK  \nSubcultural Authentications and the Positioning of the Mainstream  \nDissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Geijersalen, Humanistiskt centrum, Thunbergsvägen 3 P, Uppsala, Friday, November 29, 2013 at 10:00 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Arguing against the previous research’s presumption that subcultural meaning constitutes a single set of meaning, this study points to two patterned sets of meanings, each constructed out of several different definitions of the mainstream as well as the subcultural authentic . Consequently, a central research question concerns how to theoretically account for similarly structured and structuring heterogeneities across and between the Indonesian and Swedish cases . Drawing from extensive ethnographic fieldwork and interviews in which a variety of interpretations of punk have been explored, six different definitions of the mainstream are outlined. Each of these refers in turn to a particular script through which subcultural styles and identities are performed and authenticated as set apart. These different definitions are then combined into two patterned sets of meaning through a consistency in terms of how the binary subcultural/mainstream is worked and extended: A convex pattern, involves a boundary work to what is defined as external to punk, bending outwards .
