ABSTRACT

At a party arranged by the right-wing skinhead subculture in Norway, a band is playing, and young men gather in front of the stage. Some men are drunk, and have difficulty standing upright. From time to time, the men stretch out their right arm in a salute to the band. Some men bang their heads, and others hold their arms around each other. One boy pushes another into the mass, stumbles and falls, and is stamped on by the others. A friend pulls him out of the mass and he stands confused. Later in the evening, several boys remove their T-shirts, revealing their bare upper bodies, tattooed with Vikings and nationalist symbols.
