Abstract (EN):
The scientific literature on youth culture and musical scenes has highlighted the growing relevance of the social network analysis. The analysis of the networks and its structures proved to be important when we intend to understand and explain the mechanisms of formation, establishment and development of youth subcultures, as well as major tensions and conflicts wit-hin it. Th is communication intends to analyze how the punk music scene’s networks were formed and develo-ped in Portugal, trough the adoption of a diachronic perspective that allows us to understand its evolution over time (1977-2012). Th e approach taken focuses on the key role assumed by fanzines and e-zines in Por-tuguese punk, fostering and boosting this movement. Through the diachronic analysis of punk fanzines, we seek to identify and analyze its key-contexts (spaces, editors and publishers, fanzines, squatters ...) and key-actors (fans, musicians, activists, bands, ...), as well as the main mechanisms and strategies that allow to es-tablish relevant relationships and connections between the punk scene in Portugal and similar ones in dif-ferent countries of Europe, USA and Latin America.
