Global Punk <https://www.intellectbooks.com/global-punk-series> 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, 
please contact the series co-editors Russ Bestley, 
(r.bestley /at/ lcc.arts.ac.uk) <mailto:(r.bestley /at/ lcc.arts.ac.uk)> and Mike 
Dines, (M.Dines /at/ mdx.ac.uk) <mailto:(M.Dines /at/ mdx.ac.uk)>

/The Punk Reader: Research Transmissions from the Local and the Global 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/the-punk-reader>/ is the first offering 
in the new Global Punk series, and is the first edited volume to explore 
and critically interrogate punk culture in relation to contemporary, 
radicalized globalization.
