As you view the documentary film, Dogtown and Z-boys, consider what the subjects and events recalled in the ethnographies and testimonies demonstrate about the subculture of skateboarding and the social conditions that facilitated the its emergence in Santa Monica and Venice, California. After viewing the film Dogtown and Z-Boys, how has your reading and evaluation of the emergence of skateboarding as a subculture changed? What social circumstances necessitated the emergence of this subculture for its participants? 2. Relate James Paul Gee’s “What is Literacy?” to “Lords of Dogtown” and Dogtown and Z-Boys. How would you describe the emergence of skateboarding as a subculture in Venice and Santa Monica, California? Using Gee’s critical discourse theories, explain how skateboarding and surfing became the dominant-secondary discourses for the members of the Zephyr skateboard team. Provide some examples. 3. Using Haenfler’s definitions and characteristics of subculture, and Gee’s definitions of discourse, explain how the skateboarding subculture resists mainstream cultures while providing a safe space for marginalized young people. Explain in detail, using examples from the sources, and remember to cite them. 4. What specific literacies did young people acquire in the skateboarding discourse? How does skateboarding as a subculture and discourse affirm or refute many of Gee’s arguments? 5. What are your final takeaways from the film and short article? What do you think caused the demise of the Dogtown skateboarders? Why do you think some succeeded and some ended up living more complicated and challenging lives? What guidance do you believe they would have benefitted from?
6. How did their backgrounds preclude them from taking advantage of the economic potential professional skateboarding would eventually present?
