In this contribution we address the concept of critical literacies by analyzing how symbolic representations within subcultures can be understood as an engagement with specific literacy practices. For some time now, cultural studies researchers with an interest in literacy have depended upon ethnographic methods to document how members of subcultural communities mobilize literacy practices to achieve critical ends. But the extent to which ethnography actually grants researchers access to subcultural perspectives on literacy has come into question. In this article, we aim to problematize and thematize the ethnographic perspective on literacy in general – and subculture as a situated literacy practice in particular – by critically assessing contemporary art practices that focus on the representation of subcultural identities. We therefore specifically look at artwork by Nikki S. Lee, who focuses on subcultures in her work through ‘going native performances’.

Safety Pin

This chapter is devoted to fibulae, which are clothing pins that operated on the same principle as the modern safety pin. The style of fibulae changed relatively rapidly throughout the Bronze and Iron Ages, and they have long been used as the principal chronological indicator for a given grave or settlement. Of all of the common objects preserved from late prehistoric Europe, fibulae are the most attractive, in the sense that even today people are drawn to them, finding them intriguing to look at. The reason that they are so appealing is that they embody a number of the visually commanding features outlined in Chapter 2. In their shapes, they are unlike anything in nature and thus immediately seize our attention. In addition, fibulae had a unique property among material culture items of late prehistoric Europe. In order to operate a fibula—to attach it to a garment—the user had to apply considerable force with the thumb and forefinger to the pin in order to lift the end out of the catch. Then, after sliding the pin through a textile garment or removing it from one, he or she released the pin to sit in the catch again. No other objects required this kind of bodily manipulation in order to serve their intended purposes.

Safety Pin

The most advanced writer on the diseases of children in the eighteenth century was Michael Underwood (1737-1820)1. He laid the foundation of modern pediatrics in his Treatise on the Diseases of Children, published first in 1784. This book went through at least seventeen editions and remained in great favor all over the world for more than 60 years. Underwood cites many personal clinical histories in his text, but none is more tragic than the following: A gentlewoman many years ago informed me, that one of her children, after long and incessant crying, fell into strong convulsions, which her physician was at a loss to account for, nor was the cause discovered until after death; when (shocking to relate!) on the cap being taken off (which had not been changed on account of its illness), a small pin was discovered sticking up to the head (of the pin) in the large fontanelle, or moule. Underwood was referring to the straight or common pin; the modern safety pin was invented by the American inventor Walter Hunt in 1849. Hunt's pin was not the first safety pin. Thousands of years earlier the ancient Egyptians had used pins similar to those rediscovered by Hunt. But, the idea was lost and until Hunt's day no one thought of developing a safety pin. In England the "new-fashioned safety pin" with a solid guard to cover the point did not appear for general use until 1878.
