| Abstract | Bringing together a range of previously published and specially commissioned articles on the expanding field of popular culture, this book examines how fashion and the body can reflect both resourcefulness and rebellion, the youth culture of the 1980s, music from punk and beyond, and the meanings of other popular images and icons. |
