The goth chapter was interesting too - although mostly because it reassured me about my methodology (or perceived lack thereof) in studying blogging. I've been worried about those kinds of issues lately. Haven't been able to read all of it as I passed it on to someone else who needs it too! Scenes and markets... hmm... necessarily opposing notions? Yeah, I liked the first two chapters because they were good summaries.

That is where I derive the initial concept of the 'scene' from, and then expand it with notions from enthusiast discourse of affect and different spatial and intensive scales/mappings. Then I set it up in opposition to 'markets' as another way to arrange the constellation of the heterogeneous elements of enthusiast assemblages... yep. Besides the straight summary articles at the start or the stuff that largely appears elsewhere (goth stuff in his book) I found the rest to be a bit of a mixed bag, don't you think? You've got different interests to me so some stuff I didn't find useful you may have. Which bits did you find productive? (btw, Stahl's essay in the _post-Subcultures Reader_ is also a good summary, albeit a few years old now, of subcultural theory. the second ed of the subcultural theory reader (2006) didn't strike me as worth $70 or whatever it was) I really like the Geoff Stahl piece in the _After Subcultures_ book.
