- This an innovative history of the creation and evolution of goth culture, and the first of its kind to understand goth though the critical lens of sociology of leisure as well as sociology of deviance. Part of this research involved documentary analysis and archive work, but most of it was Discourse Tracing on the internet, reflections on the authors’ own histories in goth, and semi-structured interviews. In this book, Spracklen and Spracklen use the idea of collective memory to explore the controversies and boundary-making surrounding the genesis and progression of the modern gothic alternative culture.
