[Commlist] New book: Punk Now!!

Intellect is pleased to announce that/**//*Punk Now!!: Contemporary 
Perspectives on Punk*/ <https://www.intellectbooks.com/punk-now>/, 
/edited by Matt Grimes and Mike Dines is now available as an ebook. The 
hardback edition is currently available from our UK distributor.

/Punk Now!!/ brings together papers from the second incarnation of the 
/Punk Scholars Network International Conference and Postgraduate 
Symposium/, with contributions from revered academics and new voices 
alike in the field of punk studies. The collection ruminates on 
contemporary and non-Anglophone punk, as well as its most 
anti-establishment tendencies. It exposes not only modern punk, but also 
punk at the margins: areas that have previously been poorly served in 
studies on the cultural phenomenon. By compiling these chapters, Matt 
Grimes and Mike Dines offer a critical contribution to a field that has 
been saturated with nostalgic and retrospective research. The range and 
depth of these chapters encapsulates the diverse nature of the punk 
subculture – and the adjacent academic study of punk – today.
