Our society is not uniform. Everyone - this is a special
microcosm, with its
interests, problems and worries. But while many of us have
similar interests and requests. Sometimes, to meet them, it is necessary to
unite with other people, because it is easier to achieve the goal together.
This is the mechanism of formation of the social subcultures - associations of
people with the same interests, which do not contradict the values of
traditional culture, but complement it. And youth subcultures (which are often
based on different genres of music hobbies, sports, literature, etc.) - Is no
exception. Subcultures arise because the essential: they enable, especially the
youth and adolescents, to express themselves creatively, to determine their
place in life, to find friends. Youth subcultures are very necessary for the
socialization of the individual - it is the most the main role of subcultures
in our society! For example, becoming a Goth, punk, emo or metal head, the
young man learns the first rules of behavior, communication laws, social roles
and ... prohibit them - is impossible. This does not destroy the subculture,
but only will drive underground and changed beyond recognition, and for the
worse (in fact when you say a hundred times a day that you are bad, then it may
you not only seriously hurt, but to change your character, outlook) .
Subculture - is part of the social organism, it does not
contradict the basic culture, but rather complements it. She - like a hand. If
it is cut off - people will be able to live, but will be disabled. So let us
first will study the subculture, and only then try to prohibit. Let's talk
about it: let them hear young adults, and young - adult. After all, we all have
much more in common than differences, and you can always negotiate.
Actuality: The abundance of youth subcultures is a manifestation of
pluralism of modern society. The need for modern youth self-expression so great
that sub cultural communities develop even against the prohibitions. Modern
Subcultures Russia (mostly borrowed from the West) showing resistance to modern
society. The modern society is on the road of globalization. People opposed to
globalization, do not want to lose their national advantages, but,
nevertheless, are being actively implemented in youth subcultures. With an
abundance of things, such as the Internet and the media, significantly
simplifying our lives, each person has a need to identify himself a hundred
aspects of the spiritual society. And the opportunity for the youth are youth
subcultures, making it possible to identify with any of them, or to oppose.
The study of youth subcultures is an important area of the
sociology of youth. Since the 60s of the twentieth century . To this issue
addressed leading sociologists around the world; in domestic as sociology
analysis of youth subcultural phenomena until the end of the 80s was carried
out in a very narrow framework. To a certain extent this is due to the fact
that these phenomena by virtue of established scientific paradigms perceived as
a social pathology.
It is important to study the structural - functional aspect
of subcultures. Structure - this is something from which values and norms,
roles and positions, is a subculture that is precisely because the study of the
structure, we can draw conclusions about the impact on human subculture. Then
the function - this is the semantic load subculture, which she carries in a
society, that is a human impact on society.
Objectives of the project: Analysis of the form and content
of subcultures , followed by the identification of their structure and
interaction with modern society.
Tasks:
1. Clarify the concept of youth subculture.
2. Ensure a typology (classification) of youth subcultures,
depending on various factors (the ideals of music, political views).
3. Investigate the history of the emergence and development
of the youth subcultures in the Russian society.
4. Figure out how people interact and youth subculture, youth
subculture and society.
5. Identify and analyze the structure and function of youth
subcultures.
I. Part The emergence of youth subcultures in Russia
First of all , the question of the relationship between
Western and Russian youth subcultures. The fact that youth subcultures are
widespread in Russia today, but they did not originate in Russia. Quite often
domestic quality are copying the Western model (see, for example -. Subculture
of skinheads) , while the youth subcultures that exist in the West, are also
partial copy of the traditional cultures opposing Western culture of the middle
class. This culture has been the basis of consensus, which is a challenge on the
part of youth subcultures was cast in 50-60 years.
The emergence of Western youth subcultures, set an example
for the Russian subcultures have original style search results, which usually
derive from cultures of other civilizations. For youth subcultures West sources
of these styles were Buddhist East, Africa (subculture Rasta), Native American
culture, the culture of the Middle Ages (subculture tolkinistov) and others.
[6]
For domestic source of youth subcultures West became the new
style. Patriotic young people to create " a West" twisting elements
of "foreign" and "own" culture. For example domestic
hippies wander along the western, but also deny the state.
The peculiarity of Russian youth subcultures before was their
preferred orientation or on leisure activities, or to the transfer and
dissemination of information, while in the west the youth actively involved in
various social programs and movements in support of various
"offended" nationals by law, opposed the trafficking and distribution
of drugs, promoting a healthy lifestyle (subculture Straight Edge). Thus, it
can be seen that at the initial stage of development of subcultures in the
Russian society, their spread is due to the copy of the external manifestations
of their Western counterparts. But they followed the completion of the
development and changes their content and essence. They begin to spread at the
expense of charismatic personalities, giving a new wave of development of the
branches, filling the ideology of values, incentives, rules and restrictions.
II. Part Forms of youth subcultures in the Russian society.
What determines Russian specifics subcultural formations
among young people - or rather, they are poorly developed in the traditional
Western sense? There are three factors play a role. The first - social and
economic instability in Russian society over the past decade and a half, and
the impoverishment of the general population. In 2000, according to the State
Statistics Committee of Russian youth (16-30 years) was in the number of people
with incomes below the subsistence level of 21.2%, while in the age group the
proportion of poor was 27.9%. [8] Among the unemployed young people under the
age of 29 years at the same time was 37.7%. [9] Although there has been some
economic recovery in the next two years, the picture has not changed
fundamentally. For many young people the problem of physical survival dwarfs
the requirements implemented in the forms of youth subcultures.
The second factor - especially social mobility in Russian
society. The channels of upward social mobility in the 1990s, has undergone
fundamental changes, and young people had the opportunity to reach a
prestigious social status in a very short period of time. Initially (at the
beginning of the decade), this led to an outflow of young people from the
education system, especially higher and post: for quick success (understood as
enrichment and achieved mainly in the sphere of trade and services), high level
of education was more of a hindrance than a help. But then again it increased
thrust to education as a guarantee of personal success in life. In addition,
the effect factor sheltering young men from military service. The ability to
quickly achieve success, to become rich, in fact, all too often based on
Criminale , is, however, the basis for the attitudes and expectations of a
significant part of Russian youth. This largely superseded by identification
with the subcultural values in the Western sense, since such identification
in the Russian socio-cultural conditions, contrary to the realization of
material well-being facilities.
The third factor - anomie in Russian society, ie the loss of
the normative value of bases, which are necessary to maintain social solidarity
and provide acceptable social identity... The youth anomie leads to a paradoxical
combination of current estimates and underlying value preferences.
There are
two types of youth subcultures
In-group Out-group
In-group - groups with which young people identify
themselves.
Out-group - the group from which the young people themselves
separate, feels the difference.
On the specifics of the behavior of
the members of the group release:
Pro-social Antisocial
Anti-social
Pro-social - groups that do not pose a threat to society are
positive and help.
Antisocial - are criticized by some foundations of society,
but this confrontation is not an extreme nature.
Antisocial - not only criticize the social order and customs,
but also seek to crush them.
Speaking of youth subcultures not to mention the
uniqueness and independence of each of them . This immediately raises the
question of the classification of youth subcultures. In Russian society
subcultures classification should be modified slightly. According Sergeeva SA,
youth subculture should have the following typology: romantic-escapist
subcultures (hippies, indianisty , Tolkienists, bikers, Rastaman), hedonistic
and recreational (ravers, rappers, skaters), crime (Lubero, Gopnik), anarcho
-destruktivnye subculture (punks, skinheads and right-wing left, partly
Straight Edge). 1. Forums - escapist subculture Hippie Culture One of the
oldest youth subcultures of the USSR and Russia. There is a certain stereotype
with respect to this motion: long hair, non-violent action, movement around the
country hitchhiking and so on. The hippie movement was developing in Russia
since the late 60's, in the '70s was very widespread, and since mid-80s began
to be observed decline of the movement as a subculture, which is associated
with the rage of youth fad music New Wave, whose ideas do not conform to the
hippie image. However, since the mid 90's hippie movement announced itself
again, now it is made, as a rule, students of humanitarian faculties. The girls
dominated mainly.
Subcultures indeanistov and rastamanov Youth subculture close
to the hippies are Indianists , then there are people who study the culture of
Indians, Eskimos and other ethnic groups. (In Novosibirsk when the company
indeanistov organized an exhibition in the museum, which presented various
exhibits describing the life of the Indians, was also arranged a concert with
the group "Silent House", performing ethnic music with elements of
throat singing). In general, among the youth of today is quite a lot of "hidden"
members of this subculture, as most interested in the books of Carlos
Castaneda, and culture of the North American Indians.
A similar subculture is a subculture rastamanov, whose credo
is to search themselves and expand their own consciousness through various
stimulants and gallyutsinagenov, mainly of plant origin. They promote, along
with the hippies, the peacefulness of existence, faith in God and love.
Subculture tolkinistov In the early 80s in the USSR were
first Tolkienists, admirers of famous English writer George. R.R.Tolkiena
(author of the books in the genre of fantasy " The Lord of the
Rings," "The Hobbit" and others). For tolkinistov subculture
characterized by the union of clubs who organize role play - improvised, partly
theater, performance, in which each member of the club has a role. Each player
has the necessary props, clothing and name corresponding Tolkienist conditional
"Middle Ages." Clubs are constantly carrying out training (fencing,
fighting with swords, fighting and so on.) And periodically arrange so-called
"merrymaking", which compete with other clubs from other cities or
regions. Tolkinistov live in his medieval reality and there is quite difficult
in their circles. This is one of the most isolated subcultures operate both adaptation
and integrating function.
2. Anarcho-destructive subculture.
The subculture of punk.
Punks One of the most recent occurrence of major subcultures
of young workers . Among punks very high percentage of the unemployed , as well
as the most unskilled and low-paid layers. The emergence of the punk style -
the natural reaction of the young people at a critical position.
Let the modern young unemployed person does not experience
the most severe material deprivation, but the psychological effects of unemployment
are very serious. Punk style largely continued and intensified the trend,
already evident from the hippies. Low educational and cultural level, the
traditional masculine stereotypes are closely associated with aggressive
self-assertion, but, in addition, the punk style is largely built precisely as
opposition to traditional moral values. The main content of the punk style - a
challenge, a provocation, "shock effects" - hairstyle
"mohawk" unusual hair coloring, variance of styles in clothes and demonstrative
behavior in public and on stage. This subculture has emerged in Russia in the
mid 80's, and immediately took a leading place among the youth. The basis of
the ideology of Russian punk was a protest against the political system (then
the USSR), fashion and pop music.
Currently, punk - the direction of spread in its modified
form. Music start commercialized, the protest is no longer a basic postulate in
idealogii.
The subculture of skinheads. The activity of this subculture
in Russia is very significant today. The reason for this is the weight of
national conflicts (Chechnya, Dagestan), which are drawn in Russia. In the
minds of today's youth is brewing ethnic hatred, which is the basis of the
emergence of the skinhead subculture in modern Russia.
The basis of the ideology of skinheads is modified racism,
hatred of other subcultures, aggression. This is one of the most criminal
subcultures prevalent in large cities of Russia. The relationship with the
community in this subculture is difficult to fold because Skinheads positioned
themselves apart, consider themselves to be an order of magnitude above the
rest, divide society into "ours" and "not ours", the
latter, in their opinion, should be subject to extermination.
III. Part Interaction with youth subcultures society in
Russia
In Russia there are two areas of loss of human life and the
overall process of their falling into the subculture. First, in this falling
out, uncertain, "limbo" state a person is in a period of transition
from one position to another position of the social structure. Then he usually
finds a permanent place, acquires permanent status, is part of society and
leaves the sphere of counter-culture. Such considerations are incorporated in
the concepts V.Ternera, T. Parsons, L.Foyera. And secondly , the new generation
stepping into the void. Do not young people from the existing social structure,
and the structure itself is slipping from under her feet. Here begins the rapid
growth of youth communities repelling from the world of adults, their
experience unnecessary. And the result of your stay in the bosom of the
counterculture here is another: not embedding in the same structure, and the
construction of a new one. In the field of value change of cultural paradigm:
subtrkultury values "float" and form the basis for the organization
of a "large" company. In fact, these two areas do not reject each
other, but complementary. It is simply about the different periods in the life
of a society, or its different states. In stable periods, and in traditional
societies (Turner studied) dropped out people - it is really those who at the
moment, but temporarily, is in the process of transition. In the end, they come
into the community, there are arranged, gain status. In times of change are
dropped out in one way or another significant layer. Sometimes it touches
almost everyone. Not everything goes in a hippie, but many pass through
subcultural state. Thus, the "system" - an example of the community,
which unites dropped out of the social structure. These people do not have a definite
position, a strong position - their status is not defined. State of uncertainty
plays an important role in self-organization processes. Scope of uncertainty -
the social void, where we can observe the processes of nucleation structures of
communities turning structureless state to a structural, ie self-organization.
There are several reasons why young people poured into the
ranks of the subcultures:
1. Age features of youth: it is more emotional, more dynamic
and more direct in expressing their feelings. Youth Independence: the majority
does not yet have a family, no profession, no circle of numerous
responsibilities and obligations, in which every mature person gets older.
2. Young people free from the totalitarian fear makes each
student in the first class to become Octobrist, then a pioneer, then a Komsomol
member.
Informal obedineniya- is a mass phenomenon. People come
together in the name of different interests. Depending on what interests people
form the basis of associations, and there are different types of associations.
Recently, in the major cities of the country, looking for opportunities to
realize their needs and do not always find them in the framework of existing
organizations, youth has become united in the so-called "informal"
group, which would be more correct to call "amateur amateur youth
associations". Attitude to them is ambiguous. Depending on the direction,
they can be a complement of organized groups, and their antipodes. Members of
amateur associations fighting for the preservation of the environment from
pollution and destruction, saving cultural monuments, free help to restore
them, take care of the disabled and elderly people in their fight against
corruption.
CONCLUSION
Thus, from this study, we found that the typology of youth
subcultures in the Russian society is somewhat different from the previously
generated sub-cultures of the West, and most of all, is their modification.
Since the history of Russia is unique , and we have recently experienced a powerful
political and social revolution in the 90s, which influenced the formation of
the cultural values of both the older generation and young people. At this
moment, the activity of youth subcultures began to decline, but now it is again
gaining momentum.
Youth subcultures are relevant in Russia to this day, because
they solve many of the problems of youth: self problems, self-actualization, a
misunderstanding on the part of adults, entering into adulthood, choosing the
right path, etc. Subcultural phenomena defy description, but their
classification and typology of difficult irreducible diversity in a system of
signs. It is worth noting that some coherent classification of youth
subcultures create no sense. Here, the ordering of recorded data is likely possible
in the framework of each of the individual sub-cultural mosaic of fragments. Some
of the youth subcultures can create a platform for the development of negative
tendencies among youth (problems of drug addiction, violence, and so on. D.),
Others have a more positive public value (ecology, and so on. D.). In all cases
it is important that in a subcultural form for a certain part of the youth is
the way to the development of sociality.
Specificity of subcultures in the Russian society is that
their activity has replaced the pre-existing activities of the Komsomol. Functions
of youth subcultures are directly determined by the needs of young people.
First of all, it is adaptive, integrating, socializing function. Research in
the field of youth subcultures and the need to resolve the crisis that Russia
is going through today. A relationship of such aspects of the problems of youth
as youth subculture and youth aggression is evident. Only a thorough and
systematic study of the development of social work with young people can help
to understand the causes of what is happening in our society, generational
conflict. It is necessary to understand the essence of youth searching,
renounce absolute conviction that brings youth culture, a differentiated
approach to the phenomena of life of today's youth.

Video Clip
Youth
subcultures in Russia
I am Musayeva Naida Suleimanovna , a student of eleventh
grade , Municipal State educational secondary school number four in the town of
Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk , in this video I want I to talk about youth subcultures in
Russia and their social significance in the society. My relation to subculture
is different. Subculture in my opinion it is good because young people can join
the group, which understand their condition, their soul and they can
communicate with people and how similar they are. These young people are
similar in interests and Hobbies. This shows their unity to think the same.
Now I will show a video, which will tell you all about
my choice attitudes using youth subcultures.
The real story of each person begins with a simple
question: “ Who am I? “ What do I want ? “ and “With am I?”. One thing I knew
for sure that I do not like the ordinariness of this world, where everyone is
like a product of Assembly-line production, where the meaning of each day is
the daily pursuit of comfort, where everything is known in advance and
predictable, where there is no time to feel alive. I knew one thing-I want to
be myself. And I started searching myself. Now the question was: “What to
change?”To put a Mohawk or put on the grinders to do some tattoos in the style
of early Gothic or getting bangs pink, while obsessive handbag with icons and
rags. Can get a worn jacket? Or buy wide pants, rollers and spray paint? So
what? How many followers can still produce each subculture? Really all limited
by the clothes, hairstyles, slang and music. Is it just another new standard
form or routine? Because a battered Teddy bear and two fingers in the head is
not real emo. Emotional is the one who feels, the one who understands that it
is impossible to remain callous to the injustices of this world and really
actually can prove the faithfulness and devotion to the object of his love. It
is not tears show, but deep experience in the imperfection of the world and
certainly not a suicidal thing for trifles.
As soon as you feel the ordinariness of the world, you have
the urge to shake him, to dilute the bright colors of the mediocrity of the
crowd, this is the beginning of PUNK. The man who wants to be himself, to think
and act independently and outside the box. It is beyond the scope of consumer
values, he refuses to go already laid someone trails, overcoming fear, it goes
beyond the crowd and expresses your individuality. When your soul asks romance,
and immersion in the philosophy of life and death, you strive to understand
their uniqueness and are willing to constantly make efforts in this direction.
When you are ready to create something new, realizing the beauty and transience
of life, if you are capable of even in the suffering, grief and death to see
something good, by the spirit, you are Goth. Hip-Hop culture for those who feel
a huge creative potential and are ask him the right direction. No matter what
youll find: music, graffiti, dance or sports, the most important thing is to
properly convey the idea of freedom, respect and uniqueness of each person, the
bearers of hip-hop culture, you become comprehended the meaning of his fifth
element. It happens that adults also play games, and are not for children. War
reveals the quality of the people. If you are determined to join the battle to
show the best qualities of men, to plunge into the culture of the past and
using it to raise the spirit of a true warrior, then and only then you are TRP.
So no matter what road I choose, it is important that my life is the search for
authentic human values.
In my videos I wanted to say that the youth subculture is not
only the harm and threat, but also the society will benefit, because thanks to
them and formed our social life in his younger years. As said literary critic
Dmitry Pisarev: What has not developed in youth, it remains insufficient for
the whole life.»
