	curtana: The devil on a good day
		Devil: In folk tradition, the Devil is sometimes a powerfully evil tempter and destroyer, sometimes a stupid enemy whose plans fail through his own clumsiness, or because he is outwitted by ordinary humans.
		Broadly speaking, the stupid Devil is found in local legends where he hurls rocks, builds bridges, digs hills, etc., but is thwarted; in stories about magicians who obtain his services but elude his power; and in comic tales where he is tricked, or loses a wager.
		Devil's Dyke: A deep gash in the north slopes of the Downs near Hove, East Sussex, is said to have been dug by the Devil, who wanted to let the sea through to drown low-lying villages with many churches.

	Chapter 2: The Failure of Contemporary Cultural Studies
		Although the discourses of ‘youth as folk rebel’, and ‘youth as consumer’ could be articulated from different ideological positions, both discourses generally agreed that youth culture was associated particularly with leisure, as opposed to, for example, work or education.
		In the contemporary cultural studies’ analyses of the 1970s, the parent culture of youth subcultures such as the skinheads was the culture of the urban working class, ideally positioned in opposition to a dominant ruling-class culture, but in practice subservient to it.
		Whilst Stanley Cohen and others focused attention on ‘youth as folk rebels’, where young people took part in a rebellion destined to fail, there was always in the back of the mind of the subculturalist the rabid consumerism, individualism and capitalistic nature of much youth culture.

	Moral Panics
		There are, however, two additional features that are said to characterize the moral panic, these two developments serve to inform the observer that society is in fact in the grip of a moral panic: the creation of ‘folk devils’ and the development of a ‘disaster mentality’ (Cohen 1972: 40ff,140ff in Goode and Ben-Yehuda 1994: 28).
		As Goode and Ben-Yehuda explain, the ‘folk devil’ is a ‘deviant’: someone engaged in wrongdoing and whose actions are considered harmful to society.
		And perhaps most importantly, rather than focus on the next potential threat, panic, or ‘folk devil’, we should instead strive to find an alternative vision of the world - one in which we seek out the best rather than the worst in human potential (Furedi 1994: 6).
