Description

Surfing Life examines surfing culture through the lens of social change, drawing on extensive ethnographic research across Australian locations to explore how embodied experience shapes contemporary subcultures. This Routledge volume combines empirical material with innovative theoretical frameworks to analyse the intricate relationship between physical experience, cultural identity and economic systems. The book offers ground-breaking insights into how experience-based subcultures form and evolve in modern society, making it essential reading for scholars of anthropology, sociology and cultural studies seeking to understand the commodification of experiential practice and its broader social implications.

Key Features

Surfing Life provides ethnographic research from multiple Australian locations, grounding theoretical analysis in real-world cultural observation.

The book examines the relationship between embodied experience, culture and the economy using contemporary sociological approaches.

Routledge publishes this volume with contributions to anthropology and sociology that analyse social formations in experience-based subcultures.

The study explores the commodification of the sublime and how surfing culture reflects wider processes of contemporary social change.
