Piracy as counter-hegemony by Tanja Bosch

“…The research questions were guided by a desire to explore qualitatively the processes by which consumers in this low-income neighbourhood practise and understand their purchase and consumption of pirated goods, particularly films on DVD. The study found that the consumers of Hanover Park engage in a complicated process of bricolage, often recontextualising what they view to communicate new meanings, appropriating African-American and gang films as a form of political cultural resistance. …”
