A study of online interaction ritual chains of subcultural groups : An empirical study of a Chinese Sang Culture online group

Chen, Xin January 2023 (has links)
The development of digital technology has changed people's relationship patterns and interactions, and the Internet has enabled people to interact beyond the limits of time and space. In this context, more and more people are meeting on the Internet according to their personal subcultures, exchanging symbols and emotions, which means the medium is subtly influencing people's interactive behaviors. So how does the medium influence people's interactive behavior in a digital setting? The interactive behavior of a subcultural group on the Chinese social media Douban, the group Introducing the 985 Loser Programme, provides an example for us to consider this question. Taking this online subcultural group as an example, this thesis applies Collins' theory of interaction ritual chains, combines the concepts of disembedding and reembedding, and comprehensively analyzes the interaction rituals of members within this group on Douban through online observation, in-depth interviews, and content analysis, and analyzes from which aspects these interaction rituals are influenced by the medium. This study concluded that the online interaction rituals influenced by the medium were influenced by the real-life factors that the participants faced and also shaped their offline lives in terms of both perceptions and actions.

This thesis explores the insider/outsider dynamic experienced by individuals as they enter diverse social situations. The shift from insider to outsider is evoked through an art installation of 18 sculptures drawing influence from "goth" subculture, as the viewer enters and interacts with the art space. The subjects of culture and identity are discussed as they pertain to insider/outsider status.

Political subcultures in Germany

Walz, Norbert 10 June 2012 (has links)
West Germany's political culture has been intensively studied during the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany. However, most studies explore The West German Political Culture as a whole. They do not take into account that Germany is a country which consists of different regions with their own history and tradition. This paper is essentially an effort to rectify this situation by attempting to determine if there are any distinguishable political subcultures in Germany. The assumption is, that historical, phenomena are important in explaining the present political culture of West Germany. In order to determine whether the historical development of West German political culture led to different present political subcultures two approaches were used. First, a qualitative approach; that is a socio-historical library-based analysis, was used. From this analysis propositions for the present West German political subcultures were derived. They were tested with an empirical analysis of survey data from a 1975 sample of West Germans. Suggestions based on the socio-historical analysis accounting for differences in contemporary political culture only partly hold true in the empirical analysis. This paper is a preliminary examination of West German political subcultures offering suggestions and direction for future research. / Master of Arts

Hipsterism - Subkulturell Renässans

Sundell, Joachim January 2011 (has links)
Uppsatsen är ett försök att applicera kulturvetenskaplig teori på en kontemporär subkultur. På så sätt kan den avkodas och dess kopplingar till samhällstendenser kan belysas. Tesen är att hipsterismen innehåller element som utmanar sättet vi vanligtvis tolkar och förstår ungdomskulturer på. Vidare visar forskningen att hipsterismen är ett resultat av nästan 40 år av nyliberal kapitalistisk utveckling, kombinerat med gentrifiering, konsumtionsvanor, kulturellt kapital och subkultur. / This essay is an attempt to apply the theories from the cultural studies tradition on a contemporary subculture, decoding and reviewing the societal implications of the cultural phenomenon that is the hipster. The thesis is that hipsterism contains elements that challenges the way we usually view and understand youth culture. The thesis argues that hipsterism is a result of 40 years of neo-liberal capitalistic progress, combining elements of gentrification, consumption, cultural capital and subculture.

MKB Vågade - igen?

Mattsson, Madeleine, Liljefeldt, Emma January 2012 (has links)
Studien avser att belysa dels ett historiskt perspektiv hos MKB Fastighets AB:s organisationsförändring under Allan Karlssons ledning på 1990-talet, dels avser studien att undersöka hur dagens organisationskultur yttrar sig och dels hur den rådande kulturen förmodas integrera med en leanimplementering. Syftet är att utifrån dessa tre perspektiv skildra den rådande organisationskulturen samt genomföra en tolkning om organisationskulturen är enhetlig eller splittrad med existerande subkulturer. Frågeställningarna berör kulturen på 1990-talet, hur förvaltningsområdena framställs, respondenternas skildring av samhörighet och konsensus i organisationen, hur respondenterna ser på organisationsförändringen samt respondenternas syns på ledningen. Den teoretiska referensramen i studien lyfter fram vikten av att en organisationsförändring påverkar flera organisatoriska dimensioner. Organisationskulturen har makten att påverka organisationsförändringar och skapa inkonsekvenser som utvecklar subkulturer. Förändringsledarskapet lyfts fram som en viktig del i att kontrollera motståndet och påverka både organisationsförändring och organisationskulturen. Leanfilosofin innebär att införa en ny organisationskultur som genererar tydligare struktur och ökad delaktighet.Undersökningen är en kvalitativ fallstudie med en hermeneutikisk och en fenomenologisk ansats. Datainsamlingen grundades i ett strategiskt urval av elva respondenter, varav tio förvaltare och en styrgruppsmedlem. Det empiriska materialet sammanställdes utifrån intervjuer med respondenterna, resultatet bygger även på projektbeskrivningen, årsredovisningen och MKB Vågade (Aunér, 2001). Analysen av empirin gav insikt om att det fanns en stark självbestämmande kultur, bristande vetskap om leanimplementeringen, stora meningsskiljaktigheter mellan ledning och operativ personal samt att ett nätverkande kommunikationssystem i form av lobbyverksamhet som existerar i organisationen.
