“…La utilización excesiva de las drogas funciona como parte importante de la resistencia a lo establecido y como abandono individual [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] . Por otro lado, estos trabajos señalan también que el clubbing, relacionado con las raves, permite la propia expresión [27][28][29] y la conformidad con las normas juveniles 30 , actuando como una parte importante tanto en la formación identitaria personal como social de los jóvenes, así como dentro de la edad adulta 34 .…”

“…[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] On the other hand, such work also notes that rave-related clubbing allows for self-expression [27][28][29] and conformity to youth norms 30 , acting as an important part of both personal and social identity formation in youth [31][32][33] , as well as into adulthood. 34 Given these two subcultural traditions, we would expect to find today's clubbers motivated toward and motivated toward and motivated involved in music scenes because of deviant and druginvolved in music scenes because of deviant and druginvolved related experiences, goals, and activities. Even though both subcultural approaches discussed important social and cultural constructs, they maintain that individuals get involved in clubbing because of their subcultural concerns about drugs and, to a lesser extent, alcohol.…”

Universidad de DelawareResearch on clubbing spans numerous fields and adopts diverse approaches to the populations in question. Yet, a somewhat homogenous narrative has emerged about clubbers and substance use, one that focuses on overconsumption, risky behavior, and considerable consequence. The purpose of our study is to unpack this narrative by exploring how the substance use patterns of clubbing populations differ by individual and scene-level factors. From this, we hope to increase an understanding of how social and cultural factors impact the relationship between clubbers and substance use. We draw on direct observation of 29 club events and interviews with 51 respondents from the hip hop (HH) and electronic dance music (EDM) scenes in Philadelphia to inform our research objective. Analyses revealed two broad criteria on which a substance use-based typology of clubbers can be offered: motivations for clubbing and level and type of scene involvement. From these two dimensions, we are able to distinguish among three types of clubbers: drug sub-cultural members, commercial clubbers, and music connoisseurs. Drug sub-cultural members reported early onset of drug use and a greater frequency of current drug use at largely underground EDM club events and outside them as well. Commercial clubbers had benign histories with drugs, but they reported attending mostly commercialized HH events to get drunk and court the opposite sex. Music connoisseurs reported minimal current drug and alcohol use at exclusively underground EDM and HH club events, following from, in some cases, extensive histories with drugs and alcohol. The differences between these three groups' substance use patterns, we contend, can be attributed to the interplay between numerous social and cultural factors not previously considered. RESUMEN ABSTRACTLa investigación sobre clubes nocturnos abarca numerosos campos y adopta diversos enfoques sobre las poblaciones examinadas. Sin embargo, sólo ha emergido una narrativa un tanto homogénea sobre clubbers y uso de sustancias, aquella que se centra en el abuso, los comportamientos de riesgo y sus considerables consecuencias. El objetivo de este estudio es desarmar esta narrativa explorando cómo los patrones de uso de sustancias de las poblaciones de clubbers difieren en función de factores individuales y de nivel de escena. De esta forma, esperamos incrementar la comprensión sobre la forma en que los factores culturales y sociales tienen un impacto en las relaciones entre clubbers y consumo de sustancias. Para ello recurrimos a clubbers y consumo de sustancias. Para ello recurrimos a clubbers la observación directa de eventos en 29 clubes y, para completar nuestros objetivos de investigación, realizamos entrevistas a 51 participantes de la escena hip hop (HH) y de música electrónica de baile (MEB) de Philadelphia. El análisis reveló dos criterios amplios para proporcionar una tipología basada en el consumo de drogas de los clubbers: motivaciones para el clubbing y nivel y tipo de participación en dicha esce...

“…Other benefits of EDM participation discovered by researchers include an experience of rites of passage (Northcote, 2006), enhanced psychological health and wellbeing (Hunt et al, 2007;Hutson, 1999Hutson, , 2000Lynch & Badger, 2006;Sylvan, 2005;Takahashi & Olaveson, 2003), and feelings of solidarity (Kavanaugh & Anderson, 2008). Researchers revealed that EDM culture fostered a social network where participants developed intimate, supportive friendships (Hunt et al, 2007;Lynch & Badger, 2006;Malbon, 1999;Moore & Miles, 2004;Sylvan, 2005;Takahashi & Olaveson, 2003).…”

When viewed through this lens, EDM events can be seen as liminal spaces that induce a psychologically subjective state of being on the threshold of, or between, two existential planes.…”

“…Clubbing is a socially constructed and performed activity, as well as a series of fragmented, temporal experiences and emotions (Böse, 2005;Northcote, 2006), with a particularly relevant role in gendered performances (Gelder, 2007;Waitt, Jessop and GormanMurray, 2011;Tan, 2012). Many researchers have considered the different perceptions of fun, amusement, annoyance and fear in the eyes of different audiences (e.g., Hutton, 2006;Boyd, 2010).…”

Gay and lesbian emotional geographies of clubbing: reflections from Paris and Turin

Urban nighttime entertainment spaces, including bars, pubs and clubs, are a crucial space for the performance of gendered social relations and the experience of sexual identities. This article investigates the emotional spaces of commercial gay and lesbian recreation in two different settings: lesbian nights in Paris, France, and gay clubs in Turin, Italy. This research was carried out through direct observation and autoethnographic fieldwork. Drawing on the literature from emotional geographies, the article proposes an alternative take on the geography of gay and lesbian clubbing by applying the metaphors of the island and the archipelago from cultural geography to the gay and lesbian scene. The island and archipelago are presented as metaphors that imply emotions, performance, materiality, spatiality, strategy and imagination in the performance of the gay and lesbian playscape. The article argues that the club, intended as a type of gay and lesbian island, does not necessarily imply a condition of insulation.Rather, the island implies both metaphor and materiality, and movement may also be considered an emotional strategy for gays and lesbians in the heteronormative urban space.
