Tensiones de la noción civilización-barbarie dentro del despliegue de la subcultura punk americana

Abstract

This article aims to generate a space for reflection on the conflicting but latent binomial within American history: the notion of civilization-barbarism.
For this purpose, it was decided to resort to concepts and interpretative ways triggered by American thinkers, who have located and enabled a way to think this conceptual binomial that runs through American history, distancing themselves, with a critical but propositive look, from circumscribing the analysis to a fatalistic look. 
As a way of approaching these regional experiences of American punk, we resorted to the presence of biographical testimonies. In particular, biographies, press interviews and audiovisual documentaries that, being part of an incipient editorial ecosystem in Latin America, seek to leave testimony and record of other ways of thinking and thinking from American societies.
