Abstract
Studies of punk subculture have heretofore focused almost solely on the communicative properties of cultural artifacts, neglecting the role practices play in creating and affirming subcultural identities and at the same time tacitly putting forward a conception of the political subject that is detached from day to day experience. In this paper, I attempt to reassert the importance of subcultural practices, especially those of cultural production and political contestation. Utilizing Foucaultian ethics, theories of the role and importance of spaces of resistance, and agonistic democratic theory, I locate the political content of Do-It-Yourself punk in the day-to-day practices that facilitate the punk scene in an attempt to construct a materialist cultural studies.
