Series: Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies

"This book considers the history of Do It Yourself art, music and publishing, demonstrating how DIY strategies have transitioned from being marginal, to emergent, to embedded. Through secondary research, observation and 30 original interviews, each chapter analyses one of 15 creative cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dusseldorf, New York, London, Manchester, Cologne, Washington DC, Detroit, Berlin, Glasgow, Olympia (Washington), Portland (Oregon), Moscow and Istanbul) and assesses the contemporary situation in each in the post-subcultural era of digital and internet technologies. The book challenges existing subcultural histories by examining less well-known scenes as well as exploring DIY ""best practices"" to trace a template of best approaches for sustainable, independent, locally owned creative enterprises."

Reviews for The DIY Movement in Art, Music and Publishing: Subjugated Knowledges

The author brings together a remarkably diverse set of creative ventures, such as bands, record labels and live-music venues, exhibition spaces, art galleries and bookstores, as well as magazines and publishing imprints, among others, while demonstrating how these pursuits reflect but also, crucially, affect the social and cultural environments within which they occur. -- Mari Valdur, University of Helsinki, European Association of Social Anthropologists
