Help..I need somebody..help..not just anybody!
Desperate times- desperate measures! First post. And it is not even funny one!

First things first. So introducing myself.
Hi. My name is Zane. 20. I am from Latvia. (Europe)
I study Culture management. And hope to get into Exhibition thing! (hope is what keeps me alive right now, so please don't kill it -.- ) I have satan_cat...and I am wearing brown socks right now.

What else? Ask me!

So THE PROBLEM!

I am writing a course paper. About Subcultures. And I am kinda stuck here with whole thing! And need some IDEAS! I know you all are going all 'Give us some more information !' But there is not much to say..PROCRASTINATION in all it's glory!!!!!! So I am writing about dress code of different subcultures and I need some more INFORMATION! And in Latvian there is not much info (there isn't any) So GOOGLE ME! But I didn't found much! just some articles and well..they weren't really helpful and informative.

So forgive my English..I know it is not brilliant!
u
If you have some links to articles, sites or You just have some ideas what more I could do...please do so! In this state of mind I am really...REALLY open to ideas..crazy/weird/even yellow ones.

And well..till then I will just sit in my lonely corner and WEEP!
If you can help me..HELP! If yo want to ignore me..IGNORE. If you just want to say hi...::cough:: well..do it.

THANKS for your attention...
::packs things and goes back to dark and scary corner::

EDIT! So now I am writing about dress code and identity. And main focus is on youth subcultures. Professor is going to smack me GOOD!

THANK YOU FOR HELP AND ADVICES! It is nice to know that I am not left alone ::hugs::

Nu gan var, vienkārš jāatrod tās vietas :) Nezinu cik daudz Latvijas latvieši lieto LiveJournal (liekas, ka vairākums cilvēki kas raksta LiveJournal no Latvijas ir krievi vai vismaz raksta krieviski), bet vairāki ārzemes latvieši atrodās [info]latvians ;)

Tā kā esmu ārzemes latviete, es pārāk daudz nezinu par "subcultures" Latvijā, tikai ko esmu redzējusi uz draugiem.lv... vai tu varēt kautko pastāstīt par tādām grupam Latvijā?

Nezinu gan..pārsvarā LJ lieto krievi..tas gan! Nu nav īpaši populārs LiveJournal latvija.Tāpēc mans pārsteigums sastapt latviešu valodu LJ.

draugiem.lv? :)

Hmmm... subkultūra Latvijā? Tātad..diezgan daudzu jaunieši ir tā sauktie EMO. Nu neko daudz par viņiem nezinu, kā par subkultūru, tikai to viņu ģērbšanās stilu un mūziku.

Tad ir metālisti. Nu 'nosaukums' jau vien liecina par viņiem. Esmu pazīstama ar daudziem..jauki cilvēki. Vidējais vecums gan virs 20, pat 30. Jo jaunieši pārsvarā ir tādi..nekādi ..nu itkā metālists, bet nu vairāk uz to gota pusi.

Tad jau ir goti. Tādi pat kā cutviet pasaulē.

Tad ir ALTERNATĪvie cilvēki..mēs savā lokā saucam par kedainajiem...ne īsti metāls, ne kas, bet kopumā jauks cilvēks.

Varētu pat pie subkultūrām piesaukt URLAS! Pārsvarā krievu tautības (neesmu pārliecināta vai latviešus pat var saukt par urlām..un pats nosaukums UR:AS tāds slengs vien ir) Nu tos atpazīsi pēc treniņtērpa, un nu..garām nepaiesi.

Šobrīd neko vairāk nepastāstīšu. Tas tā īsuma. But ja vēlies ar lielāko prieku pastāstīšu vēl kautko kad būs vairāk laika, jo šobrīd jānododās garlaicīgajām Īstās dzīves peripētijām!

Kanādas Latviete?

0) accept that you'll have to read your source material in English.
1) don't just google, use scholar.google.com . you'll get at least somewhat academic articles.
2) search libary catalogues by keywords. at least in Finland the university libraries have a browsable catalogue you can access via internet.
3) article searches = <3. check if your university/polytechnic/school can access journal archives like JSTOR.
4) change your method. depending on how demanding your course paper is and how much time you've got, you can always do field work.

good luck. :)

I have embraced THAT! And am doomed by that! :)

Oh our libraries have that catalogue too..AND well..I am being me...and always manage to get in trouble with them. But my friends are very helpful.

THANK YOU..luck is what I need most right now!

Any particular subculture?

If you haven't any ideas, the first thing that came to mind was goths, but it could as easily be furries, or ... I dunno, a thousand different subcultures in Japan, or something I haven't even thought of…

Read Dick Hebdige's "Subculture: The Meaning of Style"

If you are doing anything with youth subcultures and dress, it's the seminal text.
