ß Social identity: What makes someone a skater, and why, and how
much, does that impact on their identity?
ß Subcultures: Previous research on youth cultures allows us to analyse
the collective aspect of shared identity in a group such as that of
skateboarders. It will also help to eventually define what skateboarding is,
a sport, a subculture or a lifestyle.
ß The construction of space: Space is important to skaters, given the
current local legislation banning skateboarding from many town centres
across the U.K., including Sheffield.
ß Skateboarding: This will help to place my research within what has
already been done and pull the other reading into focus.
