Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to bring to the public knowledge one study performed by the author in which was studied the quest for new experiences materialised by some types of dancing parties. These experiences were analysed in terms of the symbolic interaction between the participants, which is expressed in the new networks of socialising, and of the related belief and tastes, range of interests, roles and ritual behaviours. These patterns are associated to specific consumption habits of the 'juveniie cuitures", with particular emphasis to the aspects related to the consumption of psychoactive substances.
