Diy democracy: the direct action politics of U.S. punk collectives

摘要：

Members of any of these groups would have likely confronted organizational challenges similar to those faced by the Gilman and ABC No Rio collectives, but even less structured DIY punk ventures necessitate the development of basic organizing skills, such as designing and distributing flyers, monitoring crowds, and negotiating with police and neighbors.52 Perhaps because these skills have been so essential to its development, the punk movement has played a prominent though not exclusive role in the global fight to maintain autonomous cultural spaces. Just as ABC No Rio's eviction battle represented only one portion of a much larger struggle over housing and public space in New York City, the conflicts faced by the Gilman and ABC No Rio collectives more generally were also part of a larger trend. Because DIY punk is, by design, not catered toward profitability, its institutions have often been forced to the economic margins, locating in low rent neighborhoods or abandoned warehouses.
