Resumen

Los primeros estudios sobre las discotecas se centraban en la identificación de la cultura de discoteca con el espíritu PAUR de «paz, amor, unidad y respeto» y en una definición polarizada de los contextos nocturnos: por un lado discotecas comerciales e interesadas en fomentar el consumo de alcohol, que ofrecían música pop «del montón», y por otro discotecas underground «auténticas»/«alternativas» vinculadas al consumo generalizado de drogas ilegales. Este artículo se suma al creciente número de trabajos de investigación que cuestionan estas simplistas caracterizaciones de la cultura de las discotecas y de los lugares de diversión vinculados al ocio nocturno y subrayan los elementos de fragmentación y segregación junto a la importancia permanente de la estructura social y la exclusión social y espacial resultante. Los autores estudian cómo los procesos informales —aperturas de discotecas, promociones en Internet y códigos de vestuario— dan lugar a la producción y reproducción de dos élites inglesas opuestas en torno al mundo de las discotecas: las «élites culturales» derivadas de la exclusión social, cultural y espacial de la música dance electrónica de origen negro y su minoría étnica, con seguidores de clase obrera y rentas bajas en las discotecas dance del centro de la ciudad de Manchester; y las «élites consumidoras» derivadas de la exclusión cultural y económica de los clientes obreros y de rentas bajas de las discotecas del West End londinense. Las complejas y entrecruzadas prácticas de distinción cultural y discriminación estructural que producen dichas élites se relacionan estrechamente con la reglamentación formal e informal, la marginación y la criminalización de determinadas manifestaciones culturales. Este artículo aboga por la elaboración de consideraciones conceptuales más matizadas de las divisiones y desigualdades sociales en la vida nocturna y en los estudios sobre las oportunidades de ocio de los jóvenes desde una perspectiva más general.
