What are the Punk and Political Ideology Studies?

Throughout the history of political discourse a large undercurrent of radicalized youth has influenced many theorists, activists, and scholars of political science. In particular the cultural movement of Punk has been the second longest sustaining social force of the radical community. Since the Sex Pistols sang “I am the anti-Christ I am the anarchist ” in 1976, politics and Punk have grown contiguously along the margins of political theory. Thirty years later the band Anti-Flag’s song “Depleted Uranium Is A War-crime ” brought Punk’s contribution into the mainstream political spectrum. But there has never been a comprehensive academic study on the development of political ideology through Punk culture. In seeking to better understand this topic, the Punk and Political Ideology studies are a research study of the historical record of media and published articles coupled with interviews of its participants. The goal is to learn about Punk culture and its influence on the development of political ideology, of course.

Chicago! August 8-11 2010!

I have the good fortune of visiting Chicago next week to kick off the first part the study. I'm spending all of my time between now and then scheduling interviews with people who could contribute meaningfully to this body of work. Specifically, I'm looking for performers, writers, activists, film makers, and fans who would be interested in being interviewed about this topic. This particular work is going to be developed into an academic paper I plan on presenting this fall. I can be contacted at 803-417-0991, lovegrovel@winthrop.edu, and lanelovegrove128@gmail.com. I look forward to the Windy City! -Lane
