Gabor Valyi, "Digging in the Crates: Practices of Identity and Belonging in
a Translocal Record Collecting Scene" (Doctoral thesis, PhD in Sociology,
Goldsmiths College University of London), 2010.

The thesis is a multi-sited ethnographic study of the practices through
which a sense of identity and belonging is produced and experienced in the
crate digging scene, a hip hop related translocal record collecting
collectivity.

Affective attachments are rarely theorised within popular music studies,
and are largely neglected or taken for granted in empirical work. Whereas
the emergence and prevalence of a sense of companionship and collective
identity is less surprising in tightly-woven collectivities that frequently
gather in public venues in a particular locality, it demands more of an
explanation in spatially dispersed musical worlds, like the transnational
crate digging scene, in which regular, locally based face-to-face
interaction takes place in small friendly circles that consist of a handful
of enthusiasts at most.

The thesis reworks earlier, more elusive definitions of the notion of scene
– a shared cultural space in which a range of coexisting and interacting
musical practices work towards producing a sense of community – in a way
that is more specific both with regarding what kinds of practices –
aesthetic, distinctive, and spatial – shall be taken into consideration in
accounting for the sources of attachments in musical collectivities.
Furthermore, through its empirical chapters it outlines and connects
particular areas of inquiry – the collective cultivation of a certain form
of musical appreciation, the performance of distinctive practices, the
acquisition and passing on of scenic sensibilities and customs, the places
of scenic practice, as well as a shared understanding of spatiality – in
which the productive – work of these practices could be be more closely
observed and understood.

Through a micro-sociological study of the collective practices organised
around the consumption of second hand records, the thesis also engages with
the sociocultural significance of the transforming technological regime of
music consumption.
