Abstracts

This scholarly article investigates different levels of appropriation of new-age spirituality in three subcultural contexts. The research focuses on the period of changes from state socialism to liberal democracy in Czechoslovakia. The three subcultural contexts in question are those of black metal scene around Prague-based band Törr, “underground” dissident subcultural formations and a peculiar personality of Vincent Venera and his hardcore-experimental musical band Saint Vincent. Three different strategies of using new-age spirituality are examined with the help of hypothesis of (sub)cultural transfer.
