Dear colleagues, we are delighted to meet you all at the KISMIF
International Conference in Porto!
The underground music scenes were, for a long time, associated with strong DIY (do-it-yourself) cultural practices. Con-
sequently, in this Conference we intend to discuss the importance of underground artistic and musical practices in con-
temporary society, both for its volatility and for its undeniable importance in youth cultures urban, keeping a record of
sociological reflection, although open to all other social sciences. Underground urban musical cultures were and still are
considered by many as illegitimate objects of analysis within the framing of contemporary social theory. However, these
cultures play a central role in the functioning of music (post) industry and in the outlook of emerging digital media. We
also intend to clarify the musical scenes that run through contemporary cities, giving them rhythms but also specific
forms of cultural identity, as well as a new historical, social and artistic heritage. In sum, this International Conference
aims to explore the contemporary landscapes of underground urban music scenes and DIY cultures in a context of glo-
balized modernity. The Conference is organized according to the following seven thematic areas: Music and DIY cultures:
DIY or Die!; Porto calling: meanings, dynamics, artifacts and identities in today’s punk scenes; Music scenes, politics
and ideology: social-historical memories and contemporary practices; Contemporary underground cultures’ aesthetics:
between the digital, the retro and the nostalgia; Musical production, mediation, consumption and fruition in the contem-
poraneity; Underground music scenes; and, last, Local scenes, communities, identities and urban cultures.
This object of analysis and inspiring motto of KISMIF International Conference falls within the development
of the scientific research project Keep it simple, make it fast! (KISMIF): Prolegomenons and punk scenes, a road to Portu-
guese contemporaneity (1977-2012) (PTDC/CS-SOC/118830/2010), whose goal is the analysis of the punk manifestations
in Portugal since its origins until nowadays (1977-2012). KISMIF is supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science
and Technology (FCT) and is being developed in the Sociology Institute of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto
(IS|UP) in a partnership with the Griffith Centre for Cultural Research (GCCR), the Universitat of Lleida (UdL), the Faculty
of Economics of the University of Porto (FEP), the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra (FEUC), the Faculty of
Psychology of the University of Porto (FPCE) and the Lisbon Municipal Libraries (BLX). KISMIF’s approach is trans-disci-
plinary (Anthropology, History, Psychology, Communication, Journalism and Sociology) and deals with different time and
space frames, in both synchronic and diachronic manners, in order to unveil the curtains that hide this barely visible and
complex research object. It privileges a dialogue between punk’s production and reception, within the Portuguese urban
culture framework, but it also intends to conceptualize the music phenomenon both as one the most ancient, universal
and important ways of communicating and as an important tool to build identity and community identity definition.
In addition to the Conference’s Scientific Program, we have also a Cultural and Artistic Program which are
related to the imperative of music in action. We consider essential viewing, experience and enjoyment of interpretive
contexts in which we stand. Hence the importance of the exhibitions - of fanzines, books, posters, photographs or re-
cords, here taken as extensions of a look and as illustrative materials and involvement in underground universes -, the
concerts and dj sets and the cycle of documentary films. We hope that you like and adhere to these different proposals.
This publication is intended, therefore, to present the KISMIF International Conference bringing to you some
practical information, but also the presentation of programmatic lines and actors that are part of this great event. Next, we
will also present the curriculum notes of the conference participants, as well as the abstracts of their presentations. Finally,
we would like to finish this brief introduction with the hopeful statement that this first initiative can be subject of continu-
ing in the coming years and a source of emergency of partnerships and networks of scientific collaboration for the future.
Once again, we wish all of you a warm welcome
and a wonderful stay in Porto!
