Insane Clown Posse and the Liminal World of Carnival, Class and Juggalo Family
In 2018, I published my 111 page undergraduate thesis of original research I conducted after attending the 18th annual Gathering of the Juggalos. I explore the ways in which the subculture utilizes subcultural capital and “badges of dignity” to negotiate with boundaries of class identity through horror, the carnivalesque and chosen family.This project works to shift the dialogue regarding white lower class culture and to redefine mainstream analysis of this much-maligned group.
