The Social Network of the Early UK Punk Movement

School of Social Sciences at the University of Manchester

This article describes and analyses the social network of key actors involved in the `inner circle' of the early UK punk movement in London. It is argued that the network and its structural properties are important if we wish to explain both the emergence of the movement and certain key conflicts within it. The article is empirically based and utilizes the methods of formal social network analysis. A further argument of the paper is that the concept of networks and these formal methods for analysing them are both important for a sociological analysis of culture and cultural movements in particular.
