Abstract

Ovaj se diplomski rad bavi temom sociološkog poimanja fenomena subkulture, kao društva
unutar društva. Pregledom povijesti teorijskog i empirijskog razvoja sociologije subkultura,
ukratko su predstavljeni najutjecajniji doprinosi Čikaške škole, teorije delinkventne subkulture,
simboličkog interakcionizma, Birminghamske škole te post-subkulturnih studija. Također,
obrađen je koncept moralne panike, teorija etiketiranja te uloga masovnih medija u konstrukciji
subkultura. Osnovni cilj rada je opisati, analizirati i razumjeti obilježja subkulturnog kapitala
zagrebačke heavy metal scene te dovesti obilježja koncepta subkulturnog kapitala S. Thornton
u odnos s konceptom socijalnog kapitala P. Bourdiea, čijim je radom Thornton bila inspirirana.
Krajnji cilj je analiza utjecaja ovih dvaju koncepata na formiranje identiteta članova zagrebačke
heavy metal scene i njihov odabir životnog stila. Uzorak čine relevantni članovi zagrebačke
heavy metal scene, odnosno aktivni sudionici djelovanja scene. Istraživanje se temelji na
kvalitativnoj metodologiji. Metoda koja se koristiti je polustrukturirani intervju, a instrument
protokol intervjua. Prikupljeni podatci su obrađeni pomoću Nvivo softvera za analizu
kvalitativnih podataka. Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni nalazi o svojevrsnom sukobu generacija
na zagrebačkoj heavy metal sceni, pri čemu se kod starijih sudionika istraživanja pokazuju
obilježja tradicionalne heavy metal subkulture, dok se kod mlađih sudionika pokazuju obilježja
kulture opisane u radovima post-subkulturnih studija. Rad dovodi do pitanja je li došlo do kraja
heavy metal subkulture u Zagrebu, odnosno je li ova subkultura postala mainstream kultura,
poput klupske kulture prepoznate u radovima S. Thornton.

Abstract (english)

This thesis deals with the topic of sociological understanding of the phenomenon of subculture,
as a society within society. An overview of the history of theoretical and empirical development
of the sociology of subcultures, briefly presents the most influential contributions of the
Chicago School, the theory of delinquent subculture, symbolic interactionism, the Birmingham
School and post-subcultural studies. Also, the concept of moral panic, labeling theory and the
role of the mass media in the construction of the subculture are discussed. The main goal of the
paper is to describe, analyze and understand the characteristics of the subcultural capital of
Zagreb heavy metal scene and bring the characteristics of S. Thornton's concept of subcultural
capital in relation to P. Bourdieu's concept of social capital, whose work Thornton was inspired
by. The ultimate goal is to analyze the impact of these two concepts on the formation of the
identity of members of Zagreb heavy metal scene and their choice of lifestyle. The sample
consists of relevant members of the Zagreb heavy metal scene, who are active participants of
the scene. The research is based on a qualitative methodology. The method used is a semistructured interview and the research instrument is an interview protocol. The collected data
were processed using Nvivo software for quality data analysis. The research includes findings
on a kind of generational conflict on Zagreb heavy metal scene, with older participants showing
the characteristics of traditional heavy metal subculture, while younger participants show the
characteristics of culture described in the works of post-subcultural studies. The paper raises
the question of whether the heavy metal subculture in Zagreb came to an end, or whether this
subculture became mainstream culture, like the club culture recognized in S. Thornton's works.
