Digital Young

These are the three forms of association in teens’ and youngsters’ case that we will develop in this category in our following posts.

Subculture [Hebdige]: “community” of young people generated by the music (punk, teds, mods, rock, disco).

Social networks [McRobbie]: today’s young people, specially those that are working in creative segments, practice a network socialization with a powerful and continuous impact (ex: clubbers, bloggers, users of technological networks).

Communities of practices [Lave, Wenger]: associations who share the same practices and the same goals. Practices are used in order to achieve the same goal(s).
