Abstract
“Keeping A Straight Face” strives to uncover and unearth the modes of operation of a wide variety of subcultures, including juggalos, ghost-hunters, dog-lovers, nudists, jugglers and the author’s family. The goal of the work as a collective whole – in nine parts – is to highlight the unique ways in which individual subcultures interact with the world and the people who populate their own groups, and to shed light upon specific group members’ histories and personal stories. The author also takes into account her own experience with niche groups, including her family, which works to play against the other groups jointly, to help her observe each subset in a way that’s well-rounded and sincere.
