Abstract		Subcultural practices have always been ascribed political undertones. Yet the question whether a subcultural for involving a specific way of life (spectacular as it may be) has any real political power should be answered in the negative. The political dimensions of a given (sub)cultural practice can be read on the symbolic level, i.e., on the level of sign, attitude, manifestation, and on the level of reality, i.e., how a social group organises itself politically in relation with a pattern of (sub)cultural behaviour. The reverse may also be true: the pattern may present one (innovative) dimension of the political organisation of a given social group. In any case, the political significance of a cultural practice is real - actually producing effects - only in the context af a social movement, but even as such, without this reference, it is an important dimension of human survival.
