Ben Malbon – Clubbing: Dancing, Ecstasy and Vitality

Ecstatic Geographies explores the cultures and spaces of clubbing. Divided into three sections: Beginnings, The Night Out and Reflections, Ecstatic Geographies includes first-hand accounts of clubbing experiences, framing these accounts within the relevant research and a review of clubbing in late-1990s Britain. Malbon particularly focuses on the codes of social interaction among clubbers; issues of gender and sexuality; the effects of music; the role of ecstasy; clubbing as a playful act; and personal interpretations of clubbing experiences. Offering an informative and intimate insight into the world of clubbing and the experiences of clubbers, this book presents a clear academic framework for study in this field.http://www.ebookmall.com/ebook/85522-ebook.htm
