A Different Kind Of Tension. Artistic, marginal and musical discourses in scenes of Punk

Abstract

The different punk scenes, exported from USA and UK to the rest of the world, originated in a contextual mixture of clubs, fashion shops and rehearsal rooms, art colleges and cof fee shops, fanzines and music magazines, record companies and independent record labels. The present study, stemming from a wider work on artistic, marginal and musical perspectives of punk, is focused on these spaces of freedom that owe all kinds of autonomous and alternative practices. These nihilistic and amateur-loving infl uences also contaminated the artistic movements from the end of the 70s.
