[Commlist] Subcultures and their Mediated Representations - Free day-symposium

A group of University of the Arts London post-graduate research 
students, in conjunction with Centre for Fashion Curation (CfFC) are 
hosting a one-day symposium titled /Subcultures and mediated 
representations/.
Topics will include how music fanzines documented and transmitted the 
acid house music scene, the Marquis de Sade’s influence on British punk, 
myth and membership of the Northern Soul scene, using black language and 
musical expression to explore the relationships between social and 
cultural ways of understanding identity formation through ideas of 
‘high’, ‘low’ and ‘popular’ culture and Adam Ant’s performance personas, 
as dandy, highway man and Prince Charming as an entry point for 
discussion about military identities, masculinity and popular culture.
This symposium will be ideally placed to kick-start a year-long series 
of events under the banner /Subcultures: Then and Now/ (physical and 
digital exhibitions, symposiums, film screenings) as part of the CfFC’s 
25th anniversary celebration of/Streetstyle: from sidewalk to catwalk/, 
a seminal fashion exhibition staged at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 
November 1994.
