In their everyday efforts to put together how they look, adolescents visually capture and articulate complex issues that society finds difficult to express verbally. In this paper peoples has explored these looks as one example of youth appearance style and as a reflection of, and an impetus for, cultural anxieties. In doing so it has drawn a series of multi-method field studies conducted over the last ten years. A key feature of these studies has been the involvement of young people themselves as key informants and co- investigators. Data from these studies can help clarify relationships between youth appearance style and cultural themes of sexuality and violence. Appearance style can be an opening or avenue into the process of seeing adolescents' worlds. Like a broadcast signal, communication through clothing and appearance cannot be directed or addressed to a particular audience; observers may see and interpret a given appearance style in a variety of ways. |
