About the book
"Fiona Hutton provides a fascinating insight into women's experiences of clubbing. Based on a rich ethnographic account of the Manchester club scene, the book is set within the context of the theoretical literature on youth subcultures, female friendship, consumption, risk, and the city." "Risky Pleasures? highlights both the producers of club scenes - promoters, DJs, dealers; and the consumers - women negotiating pleasure and risk in club spaces and in the city at night. It explores the range of club spaces, developing a typology of 'mainstream' and 'underground' clubs and looking at how different sorts of participants are attracted to different 'scenes'. It examines women's recreational drug-use within a club context and discusses issues of sexuality, tolerance and the importance of 'attitude' in terms of women's feelings of safety."--Jacket.
