Global Punk is a new book series focusing on the development of 
contemporary global punk ‘scenes’; reflecting upon their origins, 
aesthetics, identity, legacy, membership and circulation. Critical 
approaches will draw upon the inter-disciplinary areas of cultural 
studies, sociology, musicology and social sciences in order to describe 
a broad and inclusive picture of punk and punk-inspired subcultural 
developments around the globe.

This series aims to chart the global existence of punk/DiY ‘scenes’ 
through the following (this list is by no means exhaustive):
• Origins and legacy
• Use of new media, communications, social networking, internet
• Political appropriation: re-defining of ‘anarchism’, ‘ecology’ 
anti-authoritarianism within the punk scene
• Punk and lifestyle: festival/squatting/traveller culture, 
vegetarianism, animal rights, straightedge etc
• Notion of local/national/international ‘scene’, tribes and neo tribes, 
counterculture/subculture, post-subcultures, new social movements
• Music and the performer: creativity, authorship, problems with 
definition, crossing musical boundaries
• Reception: DiY culture, activism, considerations of scenes, spaces and 
places
• Gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity, race and identity
• The art of the punk: the use of record covers and associated 
merchandise to convey cultural/political/social ideals.

To propose a manuscript, or for more information about the series,
