Young People's Travelling in the Darkness of the Night: Contributions to the Sociology of Entertainment

Sažetak
The authors try to establish sociological engagement to the phenomenon of entertainment,
because this phenomenon represents the place of symbolic production, where games of
various styles take place and which stands in opposition to the traditional analysis of time
and places, assigned to the entertainment of youth. They have chosen disco-clubs as the
place for entertainment also because it is the “medium” where a number of aspects of
social life are being reflected. And all this placed in the context of post-modern tendencies.
In empirical research and on the theoretical level, the authors combine individual with collective,
rational with irrational, realistic with mystical. On the methodological level, quantitative
and qualitative approaches and applied methods are integrated. In this work the
autors presented a part of the results of the young people’s relation towards the disco-clubs
estimation by means of Likert’s scale. The data have been colected on the representative
area sample of young.
The authors conclude that it is necessary to examine social prejudices with more attention,
by pointing at more-valuable social intervention in the disco-life. There the young are often
being exposed to possible drug-addiction and drug misuse problems and to consumption
of alcoholic drinks in alarming quantities. However, disco-club is becoming a freedomzone,
a place of changes and scene of particular communication - through music and dance. It is also place where needs for association and togetherness are being realised
