URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67326 Krutalevich A.N. Structure-Analytical Approach to Studying Subcultures Abstract: The author identifies the structural components of the subculture that determine the prospects of its development and influence on common culture: philosophical, creative, social and political bases thereof. The number of efficient bases of subculture is directly proportional to the period of life of the subculture and its influence. There are three major steps of subcultural activities: "being involved in the subculture", "subcultural initiation", and "return", each stage also has particular substages. The structure of subcultural activity is compared to the evolution of the individual. The article provides a description and functions of the main archetypical roles of the participants in subcultural activities: the Hero, the Mentor, the Threshold Guardian, the Herald, the Shapeshifter, the Shadow, the Ally and the Trickster. Methodological basis of the research includes the theory of historical-cultural types offered by Nikolay Danilevsky, Vladimir Propp's, John Campbell's and Christopher Vogler's comparative typological method. The structure-analytical approach to studying subcultures allows to explore subcultural activity over time. In the end, the developed approach provides a complete portrait of the subculture that includes not only a broad description, but also analysis of its influence on human (individual representative) and cultural system. Keywords: Trickster, Shadow, Ally, Herald, Threshold Guardian, Hero, Mentor, mythologem of the journey, bases of subculture, Shapeshifter This article can be downloaded freely in PDF format for reading.
