Abstract

The article explores the Tattoo Convention environment as a privileged context to observe the power relations and the negotiation of meanings framed by the tattoo culture. We focus our analysis on the dynamics that regard the field of Tattoo Convention as an alternative cultural heterotopia (St. John, 2011), giving particular attention to the tension between the desire for community and belonging - which shapes the bio-sociability (Ortega, 2004; Ferreira, 2009) in the space of the convention - and the pursuit of a unique and exclusive body-project. We see broader dynamics of conflict - between inclusion and exclusion, “cool” and mainstream, standardisation and artistry - resonating with this tension. Within this frame, corporal dimensions such as the pain take on the intensification of the biographical meanings (Le Breton, 2002) for individuals and liturgical element for the community.

纹身大会:另类文化异托邦中的主体性和归属感
本文探讨了纹身公约环境作为一个特权语境,以观察纹身文化框架下的权力关系和意义协商。我们的分析重点是将纹身公约领域视为一种另类文化异托邦的动态(圣约翰,2011年),特别关注对社区和归属感的渴望——这塑造了公约空间中的生物社交性(奥尔特加,2004年;费雷拉,2009年)——与追求独特和排他性的身体项目之间的紧张关系。我们看到了更广泛的冲突动态——包容与排斥、“酷”与主流、标准化与艺术性之间——与这种张力产生了共鸣。在这个框架内,身体维度,如疼痛,对个人来说具有传记意义(Le Breton,2002),对社区来说具有仪式元素。

期刊介绍: The Italian Sociological Review is as an academic journal for the dissemination of theoretical reflections and results of empirical research on social science, conducted with scientific methodologies and made available to a wider audience. The research results may have an impact on policy-makers, on the processes of formation of the students and the development and integration of theories and paradigms. It is therefore important that the journal maintains a high level of quality and transparency in the process of publication.
