Rezensionen

C-Theory
'Sarah Thornton's book raises some serious issues about cultural empowerment and the retrograde role of that growing academic discipline, cultural studies.'
The Pulse
'The book covers not only the club scene and its relationship with the media, but also the history of the discotheque, the decline of 'live' music and the corresponding rise in popularity of its pre-recorded counterpart, as well as the notion of 'hipness' - a concept central to youth culture.'
Musik
'If ... an academic, critical analysis of the far-reaching cultural effects of clubbing sets your pulse racing, this thoroughly researched book makes for an essential bedside companion.'
The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Club Cultures is staking out new territory. Thornton has provided an accessible and interesting account of her subject that will be of great use to anyone trying to find out whatever happened to youth culture since the heady days of Dick Hebdige as long ago as 1979.'
Q Magazine
'Imagine a book that could be subtitled Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Dance But Didn't Even Know Such Questions Existed.'
Preview
'This major contribution to the study of youth movements also looks at DJs, drugs, fanzines, globalisation and best of all, asks what exactly are the raver hierarchies of hipness? An accessible and informed book, deserving of a wide audience.'
Everywoman
'A highly accessible yet rigorously written study of popular culture ... an important contribution not only to current media debates, but also that oft overlooked question of club music and gender.'
Spin
'One of the smartest and most audacious pieces of musical sociology in years.'
Bikini
'Club Cultures provides an interesting out-look on dance culture ... you'll definitely have a better understanding of the phenomenon after reading it.'
American Journal of Sociology
'Club Cultures addresses a number of substantive fields within sociology. As a treatise on popular culture, and the sociology of culture generally, the book is an excellent case study that introduces a way of analyzing subcultures on their own ocnsimptive terms.'
European Journal of Communication
'An admirable degree of theoretical and empirical sophistication and attempt[s] to situate the phenomena under study in a wider social context ... an in-depth account of the origins and meanings of the British club scene ... the empirical observation is deeply and skilfully woven into a rich and carefully constructed analysis ... Club Cultures is a refreshing, provoking and stimulating book which I enjoyed reading. I strongly recommend it and I have no doubt that it will be a success.'
