Armed with cheap digital technologies and a fiercely independent spirit; millions of young people from around the world have taken cultural production into their own hands; crafting their own clothing lines; launching their own record labels; and forging a vast; collaborative network of impassioned amateurs more interested in making than consuming. DIY Style tells the story of this international do-it-yourself (DIY) movement through a major case study of one of its biggest; but least known contingents: the "indie" music and fashion scene of the predominantly Muslim Southeast Asian island nation of Indonesia. Through rich ethnographic detail; in-depth historical analysis; and cutting-edge social theory; the book chronicles the rise of DIY culture in Indonesia; and also explores the phenomenon in Europe and the United States; painting an evocative portrait of vibrant communities who are not only making and distributing popular culture on their own terms; but working to tear down the barriers between production and consumption; third and first world; global and local. What emerges from the book is a cautiously optimistic view of the future of global capitalism - a creative; collectivist alternative built from the ground up.This exciting and original study is essential reading for students and scholars of anthropology; fashion; media studies; cultural studies and sociology.

For a younger performer; 12-14; these are really not appropriate. The comedic ones are not terribly funny. Overall; we found one or two male monologues that would be useful for a 12-14 yr old performer. Older actors might find some of this collection more useful; but we didnt.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Better than its sequel!By Ella StevensI gotThe Ultimate Audition Book for Teens: 111 One-Minute Monologues (Young Actors Series)recently.I have only read this book and the 2nd version; and I loved this one! It had lots of variety and ranged from serious; comedic; ironic; and makes-you-think monologues. I have not found one right for my next upcoming audition; but this book is brimming with interesting and memorable monologues; so Im sure I will! Highly recommended for probably 15-18 year olds; but there is something in this book for everyone.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
