Abstract

A multimodal ethnographic essay, mingling obser
vations, extracts from interviews, film and musical references,
this text outlines the "anthropological silhouette" of a number
of French punks and skinheads. If the street was their hero
in(e) in the sense of being the stage on which they played out
their resistance to the "established society", heroin(e) as an ad
dictive drug also became their implacable mistress, controlling
all aspirations to rebellion. This article seeks to investigate this
paradox, intimately analyzing the possibility of resistance to
real or supposed domination against a backdrop of the experi
ence it describes.
