Summer School ‘What difference do DIY cultures make?’
3-7 July 2018
The KISMIF Conference offers a unique forum where participants can discuss and share information about underground cultures and DIY practices. KISMIF focuses on cultural practices that are often pitched against more mainstream, mass-produced and commodified forms of cultural production. Aligned with this is an anti-hegemonic ideology focused around aesthetic and lifestyle politics. KISMIF is the first and so far, only conference to examine the theory and practice of underground DIY cultures as an increasingly significant form of cultural practice in a global context. The conference has a multidisciplinary approach, welcoming contributions from the global community of scholars and activists working on all aspects of underground scenes and DIY cultures, and based on various methodologies — quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods analysis. The goal is to discuss not only music but also other artistic fields such as film and video, graffiti and street art, theatre and the performing arts, literature and poetry, radio, programming and editing, graphic design, illustration, cartoon and comic fiction.

(KISMIF) DIY Cultures, Spaces and Places” which will take place in Porto, Portugal, between 18th July and 21st July 2016. The submission of abstracts for this conference is open to academic researchers working in all areas of sociology, anthropology, history, cultural economics, geography, urban planning, media and cultural studies and cognate disciplines, such as design, illustration, popular music, cinema, visual and performing arts. This initiative follows the great success of the two first KISMIF Conference editions (held in 2014 and 2015), seeking to voice the will of the many researchers who have sought to promote an annual scientific meeting for the discussion of underground music scenes and do-it-yourself culture at the highest level.
The KISMIF Conference 2016 is once again focused on underground music, directing its attention this time towards the analysis of DIY cultures’ relationship to space and places. Thus, we challenge students, junior and senior teachers/researchers, as well as artists and activists, to come to the KISMIF International Conference and present works which explore the potential of the theoretical and analytical development of the intersection of music scenes, DIY culture and space under a multidimensional and multifaceted vision. We hope with this to enrich the underground scenes and DIY cultures analysis by producing innovative social theory on various spheres and levels, as well as focusing on the role of DIY culture in late modernity.
Indeed, the role of music and DIY cultures is once more an important question – taking place in a world of piecemealed yet ever-present change. The space, spaces, places, borders, zones of DIY music scenes are critical variables in approaching contemporary cultures, their sounds, their practices (artistic, cultural, economic and social), their actors and their contexts. From a postcolonial and glocalized perspective, it is important to consider the changes in artistic and musical practices with an underground and/or oppositional nature in order to draw symbolic boundaries between their operating modalities and those of advanced capitalism. Territorialization and deterritorialization are indelible marks of the artistic and musical scenes in the present; they are related to immediate cosmopolitanisms, to conflicting diasporas, new power relations, gender and ethnicity. As in previous KISMIF Conferences, it is our intention to welcome reflexive contributions which consider the plurality that DIY cultural practices demonstrate in various cultural, artistic and creative fields and to move beyond music in considering artistic fields like film and video, graffiti and street art, the theater and the performing arts, literature and poetry, radio, programming and editing, graphic design, illustration, cartoon and comics, as well as others.
In 2016, the stimulating scientific KISMIF Conference program will once again be accompanied by a diverse social and cultural program, embodied by a series of artistic events, with special focus on underground music and other artistic expressions. The aim is to provide a unique experience in terms of the DIY cultures present in Portugal, Porto and its unique diasporas.
The conference will be followed by a summer school entitled “Mappin' Your Own Underground!” on 22nd July 2015 in Faculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto. The summer school will offer an opportunity for all students, including those participating in the conference, to attend specialist master classes and discuss their research in seminars led by top academics in the field (for more information about Summer School click here www.kismifconference.com).

The Summer School will grant an opportunity for all students (bachelor students, master students, doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers), namely those participating in the Conference, to discuss their research, in an environment suited for knowledge exchange and practical feedback towards successful professional trajectories. This will be achieved through a series of workshops with world-renowned professors and researchers (for more information about the Summer School, please visit the page www.kismifconference.com).

A submissão de resumos para o Congresso está aberta a investigadores provenientes de todas as áreas da sociologia, da antropologia, da história, da economia cultural, da geografia, do planeamento urbano, dos estudos culturais e dos média e comunicação e disciplinas relacionadas, tais como design, ilustração, popular music, cinema, artes visuais e performativas. Este novo encontro acontece após o grande sucesso das duas primeiras edições da KISMIF Conference (realizadas em 2014 e 2015) e procura responder à vontade, reiterada por vários investigadores, de promover um encontro científico anual destinado à discussão ao mais alto nível das underground music scenes e das culturas do-it-yourself.
Em 2016, a KISMIF Conference centra-se novamente na música underground, orientando o seu enfoque analítico para a análise das culturas DIY e sua relação com o espaço, o território e os lugares. Assim, desafiam-se estudantes, professores investigadores juniores e seniores, mas também artistas e ativistas, a apresentarem na KISMIF International Conference 2016 trabalhos que explorem o potencial do desenvolvimento teórico e analítico do cruzamento entre as cenas musicais, a cultura DIY e o espaço sob uma visão pluridimensional e pluriforme, de forma a enriquecer a análise das cenas musicais underground e das culturas DIY com o desenvolvimento da teoria social aos mais diversos níveis e esferas disciplinares, considerando a importância charneira que as culturas DIY têm num contexto de modernidade tardia e num momento de uma severa crise societal contemporânea.
Com efeito, é hoje por demais relevante a importância - neste mundo em mudança fragmentada - que a música e as culturas DIY têm. Mais, grande parte das mudanças que se têm operado no mundo contemporâneo, resultam notadamente da emergência de espaços, de zonas, de cenas locais, translocais e virtuais. O espaço, os espaços, os lugares, as fronteiras, as zonas são, assim, variáveis críticas na abordagem das culturas contemporâneas, dos seus sons, das suas práticas (artísticas, culturais, económicas e sociais), dos seus atores, dos seus contextos. Numa perspectiva pós-colonial, também de glocalização, importa equacionar a mudança nas práticas artísticas e musicais de natureza underground e traçar-lhe fronteiras simbólicas, lugares de acomodação, espaços de apropriação, locais de resistência, modalidades de funcionamento, economias de sobrevivência e agências alternativas ao capitalismo avançado. Territorialização e desterritorialização são marcas indeléveis das cenas artísticas e musicais no presente, são também referentes imediatos de cosmopolitismos, de diásporas, de novas relações de poder, de género, de etnias. À semelhança das edições anteriores da KISMIF Conference, pretendemos acolher contributos reflexivos que considerem a pluralidade de manifestações DIY nos mais diversos campos culturais, artísticos e criativos – indo, por isso, para além da música, e considerando campos artísticos como o cinema e vídeo, o graffiti e a street art; o teatro e as artes performativas; a literatura e a poesia; a rádio, a programação e a edição; o design gráfico, a ilustração, o cartoon e a banda desenhada; entre outros.
Em 2016, o estimulante programa científico da KISMIF Conference será novamente acompanhado por um programa social e cultural diversificado, consubstanciado por um conjunto de eventos artísticos, com especial enfoque na música underground e noutras expressões artísticas. Pretende-se, assim, propiciar a todos os participantes uma experiência singular ao nível das culturas DIY presentes em Portugal, no Porto e nas suas diásporas singulares.
O Congresso será sucedido por uma Summer School – intitulada “Mappin' Your Own Underground!” – que irá realizar-se no dia 22 de julho 2015, na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto. A Summer School irá oferecer uma oportunidade a todos os estudantes, incluindo aqueles que participem no Congresso, de discutir as suas investigações em seminários liderados por professores e investigadores relevantes neste campo de investigação (para mais informações acerca da Summer School, visite a página www.kismifconference.com).

International Conference Crossing Borders of Underground Music Scenes and Summer School Gettin' Underground Together, as it has occurred in the previous edition of the KISMIF! International Conference Underground Music Scenes and DIY Cultures (2014), this year we will organize again some RISE UP: A SCIENTIFIC INTERFACE moments during the lunch-time.
So what is it?
RISE UP: A SCIENTIFIC INTERFACE is a moment where, during the lunch time, the participants in the KISMIF! International Conference and Summer School may present their works in a more relaxed and informal way.
So, if you have recently edited a book, a magazine or a fanzine, if you released a record, a film, if you are building up a home-made instrument, etc., this might be the moment for you to present it in Portugal and discuss it with the fellow colleagues who are joining the conference and the summer school.
How to participate?
Each presentation at the RISE UP: A SCIENTIFIC INTERFACE should not exceed 10 minutes plus 5 minute chat and debate.
Please send us an e-mail ([email protected]) with your ideas or questions. We just need just a short description of your proposal (1000 characters without spaces, maximum) and also your needs (audio speakers, laptop, video projector, etc.).
We promise to give you some feedback quickly!

Historically, there is a close relationship between the emergence and consolidation of urban cult... more Historically, there is a close relationship between the emergence and consolidation of urban cultural and artistic expressions — particularly those related to certain youth cultures and underground artistic and musical movements —, and the impetus of design, production and (self)publication of independent and do-it -yourself (DIY) publications that address and express related topics. This question is particularly evident in the case of fanzines, where a deep relationship between the production of this kind of independent publications and the emergence and assertion of different urban subcultures is to be found — from cinema to music, through comics, sport or politics. However, this universe is substantially broader, covering a wide variety of areas ranging from alternative press to artist books, through new digital publishing media such as blogs and video blogs. Although this topic has already been discussed from an academic point of view, it appears that existent approaches are still relatively scarce and non-systematic. This publication aims at contributing to further discussion on the topic, therefore consolidating academic reflection on the relationship between several underground urban (sub)cultures, artistic scenes and the multiple ways of conceiving, publishing and distributing independent DIY publications. This topic can be addressed in a comprehensive manner, namely through analyses that consider and debate: (i) different disciplinary perspectives, (ii) different kinds of media, or (iii) different (sub)urban cultures. Articles can take a more theoretical bias or a more empirical one, but in any case critical approaches that are scientifically innovative and challenging to the development of this field of study shall be privileged.
Thus, we invite the international academic community to submit chapters focusing, among others, on the following matters:
• Different typologies among independent DIY publications and their relations with different urban (sub)cultures and artistic scenes.
• Methodological and epistemological challenges to social analysis of independent DIY publications.
• Independent DIY publications and the relations between new and analogue media: assessment of changes, developments and tensions in what concerns technology.
• Technique and aesthetic in DIY graphic approaches and everyday expressions.
• Gatekeeping, recognition, and distribution channels of independent DIY publications.
• Independent DIY publications and the current approaches, from archives and museums: intervention prospects and future challenges in these fields.
• Fanzines and other independent DIY publications as standpoints for a socio-historical analysis of the urban (sub)cultures and artistic scenes.

The Summer School Gettin’ Underground Together! will offer an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students, including those staying on for the conference, to attend specialist master classes and discuss their research work in seminars led by top academics in the field. It is also the possibility of deepening both theoretical and methodological questions in both proximity and dialogue with some of the main world references of the urban musical scenes.
This Summer School is the result of a series of developed works in the last decade within the framework of social sciences, namely Sociology of Culture, Sociology of Arts, Sociology of Youth, Urban Sociology, Sociology of Music, Cultural Economics, Urban Studies and Urban Planning. Hence, it is important to understand the importance, functioning, process, the agents, characteristics, genres and subgenres of the current urban music scenes. The music scenes invite us to map the territory of the city in new ways while, at the same time, defining types of activities whose relationship with the territory is not easily expressed. There exists a contradiction between the growing visibility of the urban music scenes and its persistent illegitimacy as a sociological object of investigation (and also in social sciences, in a broader sense). Such a contradiction is a research challenge to pursuit. This will lead to an insightful debate about its mains aspects and structuring guidelines.

Consequently, in this book we intend to discuss the importance of underground artistic and musical practices in contemporary society, both for its volatility and for its undeniable importance in youth cultures urban, keeping a record of sociological reflection, although open to all other social sciences. Underground urban musical cultures were and still are considered by many as illegitimate objects of analysis within the framing of contemporary social theory. However, these cultures play a central role in the functioning of music (post) industry and in the outlook of emerging digital media. We also intend to clarify the musical scenes that run through contemporary cities, giving them rhythms but also specific forms of cultural identity, as well as a new historical, social and artistic heritage. In sum, this book aims to explore the contemporary landscapes of underground urban music scenes and DIY cultures in a context of globalized modernity. The book is organized according to the following seven thematic areas: Music and DIY cultures: DIY or Die!; Porto calling: meanings, dynamics, artifacts and identities in today's punk scenes; Music scenes, politics and ideology: social-historical memories and contemporary practices; Contemporary underground cultures’ aesthetics: between the digital, the retro and the nostalgia; Musical production, mediation, consumption and fruition in the contemporaneity; Underground music scenes; and, last, Local scenes, communities, identities and urban cultures.

Thus, we invite the international academic community to submit chapters focusing, among others, on the following matters:
• Different typologies among independent DIY publications and their relations with different urban (sub)cultures and artistic scenes.
• Methodological and epistemological challenges to social analysis of independent DIY publications.
• Independent DIY publications and the relations between new and analogue media: assessment of changes, developments and tensions in what concerns technology.
• Technique and aesthetic in DIY graphic approaches and everyday expressions.
• Gatekeeping, recognition, and distribution channels of independent DIY publications.
• Independent DIY publications and the current approaches, from archives and museums: intervention prospects and future challenges in these fields.
• Fanzines and other independent DIY publications as standpoints for a socio-historical analysis of the urban (sub)cultures and artistic scenes.

This Summer School is the result of a series of developed works in the last decade within the framework of social sciences, namely Sociology of Culture, Sociology of Arts, Sociology of Youth, Urban Sociology, Sociology of Music, Cultural Economics, Urban Studies and Urban Planning. Hence, it is important to understand the importance, functioning, process, the agents, characteristics, genres and subgenres of the current urban music scenes. The music scenes invite us to map the territory of the city in new ways while, at the same time, defining types of activities whose relationship with the territory is not easily expressed. There exists a contradiction between the growing visibility of the urban music scenes and its persistent illegitimacy as a sociological object of investigation (and also in social sciences, in a broader sense). Such a contradiction is a research challenge to pursuit. This will lead to an insightful debate about its mains aspects and structuring guidelines.

Books by Keep it simple, make it fast! KISMIF
We are delighted to meet you all at the third KISMIF International Conference ‘Keep It Simple, Make It Fast!’ (KISMIF) International Conference, here at Porto, this year dedicated to the theme ‘DIY Cultures, Spaces and Places’. This initiative follows the great success of the two first KISMIF Conference editions (held in 2014 and 2015), seeking to voice the will of the many researchers who have sought to promote an annual scientific meeting for the discussion of underground music scenes and do-it-yourself culture at the highest level . The KISMIF Conference 2016 is once again focused on underground music, directing its attention this time towards the analysis of DIY cultures’ relationship to space and places. Thus, we challenge students, junior and senior teachers/researchers, as well as artists and activists, to come to the KISMIF International Conference and present works which explore the potential of the theoretical and analytical development of the intersection of music scenes, DIY culture and space under a multidimensional and multifaceted vision. We hope with this to enrich the underground scenes and DIY cultures analysis by producing innovative social theory on various spheres and levels, as well as focusing on the role of DIY culture in late modernity.
Indeed, the role of music and DIY cultures is once more an important question – taking place in a world of piecemealed yet ever-present change. The space, spaces, places, borders, zones of DIY music scenes are critical variables in approaching contemporary cultures, their sounds, their practices (artistic, cultural, economic and social), their actors and their contexts. From a postcolonial and glocalized perspective, it is important to consider the changes in artistic and musical practices with an underground and/or oppositional nature in order to draw symbolic boundaries between their operating modalities and those of advanced capitalism. Territorialization and deterritorialization are indelible marks of the artistic and musical scenes in the present; they are related to immediate cosmopolitanisms, to conflicting diasporas, new power relations, gender and ethnicity. As in previous KISMIF Conferences, it is our intention to welcome reflexive contributions which consider the plurality that DIY cultural practices demonstrate in various cultural, artistic and creative fields and to move beyond music in considering artistic fields like film and video, graffiti and street art, the theatre and the performing arts, literature and poetry, radio, programming and editing, graphic design, illustration, cartoon and comics, as well as others.

Gender, differences, identities and DIY cultures
Summer School ‘What difference do DIY cultures make?’
3-7 July 2018
The KISMIF Conference offers a unique forum where participants can discuss and share information about underground cultures and DIY practices. KISMIF focuses on cultural practices that are often pitched against more mainstream, mass-produced and commodified forms of cultural production. Aligned with this is an anti-hegemonic ideology focused around aesthetic and lifestyle politics. KISMIF is the first and so far, only conference to examine the theory and practice of underground DIY cultures as an increasingly significant form of cultural practice in a global context. The conference has a multidisciplinary approach, welcoming contributions from the global community of scholars and activists working on all aspects of underground scenes and DIY cultures, and based on various methodologies — quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods analysis. The goal is to discuss not only music but also other artistic fields such as film and video, graffiti and street art, theatre and the performing arts, literature and poetry, radio, programming and editing, graphic design, illustration, cartoon and comic fiction.

In 2016, the stimulating scientific KISMIF Conference program will once again be accompanied by a diverse social and cultural program, embodied by a series of artistic events, with special focus on underground music and other artistic expressions. The aim is to provide a unique experience in terms of the DIY cultures present in Portugal, Porto and its unique diasporas.
The conference will be followed by a summer school entitled “Mappin' Your Own Underground!” on 22nd July 2015 in Faculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto. The summer school will offer an opportunity for all students, including those participating in the conference, to attend specialist master classes and discuss their research in seminars led by top academics in the field (for more information about Summer School click here www.kismifconference.com).
The Summer School “Mappin' Your Own Underground!” seeks to grant students with valuable feedback on their research projects, as well as share knowledge on how to achieve successful professional carreers, through practical know-how and scientific expertise.
A Summer School “Mappin' Your Own Underground!” tem como objetivo fornecer aos estudantes interessados um relevante feedback sobre os seus projetos de investigação e oferecer-lhes conhecimentos e competências práticas para construírem trajetórias profissionais e académicas bem sucedidas.
Em 2016, a KISMIF Conference centra-se novamente na música underground, orientando o seu enfoque analítico para a análise das culturas DIY e sua relação com o espaço, o território e os lugares. Assim, desafiam-se estudantes, professores investigadores juniores e seniores, mas também artistas e ativistas, a apresentarem na KISMIF International Conference 2016 trabalhos que explorem o potencial do desenvolvimento teórico e analítico do cruzamento entre as cenas musicais, a cultura DIY e o espaço sob uma visão pluridimensional e pluriforme, de forma a enriquecer a análise das cenas musicais underground e das culturas DIY com o desenvolvimento da teoria social aos mais diversos níveis e esferas disciplinares, considerando a importância charneira que as culturas DIY têm num contexto de modernidade tardia e num momento de uma severa crise societal contemporânea.
Com efeito, é hoje por demais relevante a importância - neste mundo em mudança fragmentada - que a música e as culturas DIY têm. Mais, grande parte das mudanças que se têm operado no mundo contemporâneo, resultam notadamente da emergência de espaços, de zonas, de cenas locais, translocais e virtuais. O espaço, os espaços, os lugares, as fronteiras, as zonas são, assim, variáveis críticas na abordagem das culturas contemporâneas, dos seus sons, das suas práticas (artísticas, culturais, económicas e sociais), dos seus atores, dos seus contextos. Numa perspectiva pós-colonial, também de glocalização, importa equacionar a mudança nas práticas artísticas e musicais de natureza underground e traçar-lhe fronteiras simbólicas, lugares de acomodação, espaços de apropriação, locais de resistência, modalidades de funcionamento, economias de sobrevivência e agências alternativas ao capitalismo avançado. Territorialização e desterritorialização são marcas indeléveis das cenas artísticas e musicais no presente, são também referentes imediatos de cosmopolitismos, de diásporas, de novas relações de poder, de género, de etnias. À semelhança das edições anteriores da KISMIF Conference, pretendemos acolher contributos reflexivos que considerem a pluralidade de manifestações DIY nos mais diversos campos culturais, artísticos e criativos – indo, por isso, para além da música, e considerando campos artísticos como o cinema e vídeo, o graffiti e a street art; o teatro e as artes performativas; a literatura e a poesia; a rádio, a programação e a edição; o design gráfico, a ilustração, o cartoon e a banda desenhada; entre outros.
Em 2016, o estimulante programa científico da KISMIF Conference será novamente acompanhado por um programa social e cultural diversificado, consubstanciado por um conjunto de eventos artísticos, com especial enfoque na música underground e noutras expressões artísticas. Pretende-se, assim, propiciar a todos os participantes uma experiência singular ao nível das culturas DIY presentes em Portugal, no Porto e nas suas diásporas singulares.
O Congresso será sucedido por uma Summer School – intitulada “Mappin' Your Own Underground!” – que irá realizar-se no dia 22 de julho 2015, na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto. A Summer School irá oferecer uma oportunidade a todos os estudantes, incluindo aqueles que participem no Congresso, de discutir as suas investigações em seminários liderados por professores e investigadores relevantes neste campo de investigação (para mais informações acerca da Summer School, visite a página www.kismifconference.com).

Looking to illustrate the proposal that we have been moving forward, we present some of the results from the analysis of Portuguese punk album covers and demotapes, edited between 2000 and 2014. These covers are part of a corpus of analysis that has been formed through the acquisition of some sound recordings, whose covers are then scanned; collecting records on websites, blogs and other digital platforms where you can get the record covers already in digital format; and also the collection, along with respondents and privileged informants, they enable digitization of album covers of their collections of images.
