Abstract:
|
The House of Records is a one-of-a-kind independent record store located in Eugene, Oregon. The store is situated in a colorful old house, and has been a staple of the local community for 36 years. While many small independent record stores are closing around the country, the economic future of The House of Records is precarious as it struggles to compete with a variety of social forces (mainly from the corporate hegemony of chain stores, the prevalence of digital downloading, and CD piracy.) This ethnographic project explores the independent spirit of the employees and customers associated with the store and how they actively articulate a variety of cultural meanings in terms of cultural resistance, community, and subcultural identity formation. At the heart of this resistance is a desire for independence, locality and cultural diversity. |
