YOUTH SUBCULTURE IN SEARCH FOR IDENTITY

O. T. Loyko, E. A. Leksina
Keywords: multiculture, multiculturalism, youth subculture, identity, social memory
Pages: 155-160

Abstract

The article is devoted to the basic trends of the youth subculture, which positions itself as a multiculture. The main theme of the article is the loss of connections of youth subculture with the culture of the society in which the youth live.  The youth culture is an integral component of modern society and closely connected with such concepts as multiculture and multiculturalism. The authors consider the analysis of searching for cultural identity in modern society as a contradictory multidimensional process. The philosophy of multiculturalism should embody liberal attention to individual in the context of dialogue of cultures and simultaneously absorb aspiration to the integration, mutual understanding, equality and solidarity.
