More essays on the culture of communal gatherings, this time with a look toward the social science of secret, underground get-togethers

In what ways does the underground facilitate subcultural expression? Is clandestinity necessary for working against a given social order?
Pursuing these lines of inquiry, Party Studies, Vol. 2 comprises essays, documentation and poetic notes on nonnormative modes of being-in-common. Continuing from Volume 1 on the topics of home gatherings and house parties, the second volume elaborates understandings of the party by considering the hidden, the invisible and the underground as material and imaginary forces, where partying is not only festive, but manifests in forms of social and political organizing, cultural and subcultural conversation, the maintenance of safe spaces and the building of parallel structures against established institutional forms.
