Papers by Jimi Wilson
The notion of punk and post-punk as (a) revolutionary postmodern social movement(s)—supported by Curry Malott and Milagros Peña, among others—provides a template for understanding the negotiatory tactics employed by adherents to punk ethos. This thesis, then, will explore one of those tactics—the attempt to synthesize ostensibly Hindu elements and punk identity/ies—along the way illustrating punk/alternative subcultural modalities—practical and ideological—which have coalesced in such ways as to dovetail with existing, negotiated, or perceived Hindu religious worldviews. In so doing, this thesis will further support extant theories regarding postmodern approaches to religion via illustration of (re)negotiation of identity via religious tropes, and expose the practices and ideologies of a small but vibrant, religious subculture."
