Exam Questions: (Choose 1):
For each of these questions, I want you to establish both similar and difference. What connects the subcultures in your discussion and what distinguishes them? Regarding their differences, consider: Are they difference in degree (i.e. of commitment or sense of certainty)? Are they differences of kind (i.e. textual, ideological, local)? Are they differences in structure of the subcultural group (i.e. hierarchy, organizing text/leader)? Or something else? Use the films we have watched in this course as the source for your examples. Explain your reasoning. Define your terms.
1. Based on the films we have watched in this course: What is a subculture? Why do human beings create subcultures? What function do they serve? Are there different “kinds” or
“levels” of subcultures? If so, how do they differ from one another? Discuss at least three films, using detailed description of specific scenes as examples.
2. Based on the films we have watched in this course: Explain what you think is the difference between fundamentalist and non-fundamentalist subcultures. Is the difference between them a matter of the type of object that brings them together (Star Trek television show vs. belief in the global “fight for justice”)? Discuss at least three films, using detailed description of specific scenes as examples.
3. Based on the films we have watched in this course: How does cultural capital function similarly/differently across subcultures? Is the subcultural “currency” the same or different? Discuss at least three films, using detailed description of specific scenes as examples.
4. Based on the films we have watched in this course: What are the functions of style and the human body in subcultures? How does style – both in terms of fashion and in terms of body modification – define subcultural identity? Discuss at least three films, using detailed description of specific scenes as examples.
