make it my next major research project. Therefore, there are omissions in
both this literature review and in my text in regard to certain respected
theorists who have written on fashion, androgyny and subculture, whom I
intend to acknowledge beyond the scope of this project.
Finally, in regard to Subcultural and Post-Subcultural Theory, other
well-established fields of enquiry, I cite only those earlier subcultural
theorists who I believe are relevant in providing evidence to support this
thesis, especially in consideration of their commentary on the position of
girls within models of subculture, namely Dick Hebdige; McRobbie and
Garber; and Nayak and Kehily. On youth culture in Japan (outside the
discourse on G&L), I also discuss Gordon Mathews and Bruce Whites’
findings.
Other sources of consultation are discussed in the following section in
association with methods.
