| Abstract: | Since its birth in the early 80s on the Spanish island of Ibiza, club culture has evolved from a countercultural hedonistic experience (rave) to a global, commodified sector of the tourism and leisure industries. Through a longitudinal, qualitative study of behaviour at one of the major U.K. clubs, explored is the nature of clubbing, proposing the concept of ritual as an explanatory framework for understanding this neo-tribal co-created experience. Drawing on ritual theory, it is herein suggested that clubbing has a quasi-spiritual element to it based on the components of mythology, ... , sacredness, and transformation. |
