Zbornik SUBKULTURE:
prispevki za kritiko in analizo družbenih gibanj, I. št. "SUBCULTURES, Supplementary Texts related to Critique and Analysis of Social Movements"

(144 pages, in Slovene language, illustrated, published in 2002)

The book presents texts by the youngest generation of sociologists. The authors deal with the notion of "subculture" (Matjaž Kovačič, Andrej Naterer), face the phenomenology of the two subcutlures: historical and current Eastern European subculture (Klavdija Šipuš, Andrej Naterer) or reflect sociological aspects of the new religiosity (Miran Lavrič). Various social practices of the second half of the 20th century demonstrate that contemporary societies and their cultures are not to be understood from a mono cultural point of view. The contemporary societies and their subsystems are becoming more and more specialised and differentiated and the cultures get fragmented. One culture only does not presents the only source for an individual any more. Individuals build cultural strategies by means of their own (sub)cultural networks. People are not obliged by grand ides and cultures any more - nowadays we are indebted to ourselves, to our own creativity and a need for self-realisation.
