English cultural studies were the
first to attempt to know and study,from a scientific point-of-view,
what then became designated as a
youth or urban subculture.
As sociologists, we are interested in understanding how and by
whom punk was studied, so as to move forward in their
interpretation as important sociological manifestation within
sociology of the arts.
The last subculture
Punk emerged in England and US during
the second half of the 70s, coming out
globally in the following couple of
decades.
It matters, however, to recognize that punk is
still regarded with distrust by the social
sciences.

How? Techniques and methods of analysis:
The information has been inserted, processed and cataloged, and was subsequentlyanalyzed using both social network analysis and the more conventional statistical analysis.
The results of the analysis conducted until now, allowus identify and discuss a relevant set of major trends:
not only with respect to the main lines of research on punk
internationally (which themes are already mature and which
themes are emerging)
but also to the specific characteristics of the researchers
(analysis by nationality, gender, scientific expertise andinstitutional membership), educational and research
institutions (including, international scientific networks) and
the subject areas which have been engaged in the study and
analysis of punk.

This numbers indicate us there is a certain fragility with
respect to exchange ideas.
Certain , because if,
on the one hand, the teams of authors don't have people
from different origins or with different knowledge andexperience;
on the other, this fragility can be filled precisely because
there is (though not in interaction) a wide variety of origins,
knowledge and experiences in the production of articles.
From 290 articles analysed,
only 39 were prepared by
more than one author.

Most of the articles are
produced in the context of
social sciences.
Sociology emerged as the
largest producer of articles.
However, it is the Psychology
which interact more with
other sciences.
In the last years, other
sciences also revealed an
interest in this subject
(punk): it's the case of
History, Literature and
Journalism, whose
production approximates to
the verified in Sociology.

2. Authors
From 316 authors founded, only 40 had developed more than one article.
But thisdoesnt mean that there is some kind of oligopoly in the production of articles in this
area. The average of articles by authors with more than one article is around 1,15 articles,
revealing instead an interest in this subject more spread over multiple individuals.

This exercise helped us to situate the theoretical and scientific evolution of punk.
Also allowed us to realize that this theoretical fragmentation has given rise to a
certain devaluation of this object.
Punk is not only an object of cultural studies. It should open up to a historical and
sociological approach.
It's because of this we propose its analysis in the intersection of different
perspectives: field theory (Bourdieu), art worlds (Becker) and music scenes (Straw,
Bennett), combining perspectives micro, meso and macro: structuralism and
interactionism; comprehensive and explanatory sociology.
Its interest for the sociology of the arts lies in the possibility of being a pioneering
sociological approach towards an object that crosses popular culture with mass
culture in a new and disconcerting way.
