On what basis might we consider the idea of subcultures offered by the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) oppositional to the idea of social generations? (see Woodman and Wyn, 2014)Group of answer choicesThe idea of social generations does not account for changes in culture and style The CCCS was concerned with resistance to the status quo rather than mapping social changeThe CCCS prioritised class over generation as a site of analysisThe CCCS viewed youth subcultures as able to disrupt inequality rather than reproduce it

The basis on which we might consider the idea of subcultures offered by the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) oppositional to the idea of social generations is that the CCCS prioritised class over generation as a site of analysis.

The CCCS was particularly interested in how class influenced the formation and nature of subcultures. They saw subcultures as a form of resistance by young people, particularly those from working-class backgrounds, against the dominant culture. This focus on class contrasts with the idea of social generations, which is more concerned with the experiences and attitudes that are shared by people born in the same time period, regardless of their class background.

The idea of subcultures offered by the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) can be considered oppositional to the idea of social generations on several grounds:

• The CCCS was concerned with resistance to the status quo rather than mapping social change: The CCCS viewed subcultures as forms of resistance against mainstream culture and societal norms, whereas the concept of social generations is more focused on mapping changes across different cohorts of people.

• The CCCS prioritised class over generation as a site of analysis: The CCCS often focused on class-based differences and how these shaped youth subcultures, whereas the concept of social generations is more focused on differences and similarities between different age cohorts.

• The CCCS viewed youth subcultures as able to disrupt inequality rather than reproduce it: The CCCS saw youth subcultures as potential sites of resistance and change, whereas the concept of social generations often assumes that societal structures and inequalities are reproduced across generations.

So, all of the given answer choices are correct.

The basis on which we might consider the idea of subcultures offered by the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) oppositional to the idea of social generations is that the CCCS prioritised class over generation as a site of analysis.
