- Reflexivity has been a focal theme in much recent youth research, including my own. This theme connects studies of identity construction, subject formation and text reception with diagnoses of cultural modernization and methodological issues of qualitative ethnography. Popular-cultural mass-media texts are continuously drawn into reflexive practices in everyday life, apparently in increasingly intense and complex ways. ‘Reflexivity’ derives from the Latin ‘reflectere’: fold back. What is being folded back in cultural contexts are thoughts or symbolizations. Human subjects may be more or less reflexive, as people use texts (from talk and gestures to books and computers) in self-mirroring identity constructions, by explicitly defining who they are. Cultural texts may also be (more or less) reflexive, in two possible senses. A text (dialogue, magazine, film, etc.) may be auto-reflexive, i.e., mirror itself, thematize or make explicit its own construction. Advertisements or television programmes nowadays often depict how ads or TV works, sometimes in an ironical mode (cf. Hutcheon, 1980/1984; Stam, 1985/1992). Texts may secondly also be subject-reflexive, i.e., mirror the self-mirrorings of human individuals and problematize the identities of the subjects who are symbolically produced in these texts. Some youth cultural texts (including words, songs and images) used and/or made by young people depict the process of reflexive subject formation as an explicitly formulated theme. All these forms of reflexivity are closely interconnected, since reflexive texts mirror reflexive practices and in turn are used as mirrors in them. But it is this last sense of reflexivity as a theme in youth cultural texts, bridging subject‑ and text-reflexivity, which will be analyzed here.
