Klubikultuur eesti- ja venekeelsete inimeste integreerijana Sveta baari näitel. (Estonian)

Club Culture as an Integrator of Estonian- and Russian-Speaking People: The Case of Sveta Baar. (English)

This article examines alternative club culture as an integrator of Estonian- and Russian-speaking people, based on the example of Sveta Baar, located in the Depoo area of Kalamaja, North Tallinn, during the years 2017-2023. The author seeks to answer the research question regarding the dynamics of the relationships between the Estonian- and Russian-speaking audiences at Sveta Baar and the aspects that influenced the formation of these relationships. Thus the article explores how interviewees from different language groups came to Sveta Baar, became members of its community, and how club visitors oppose mainstream culture. The theoretical framework of the article is based on subculture studies and cultural sociology. The analysis is based on ten semi-structured in-depth interviews, three of which are with Estonian-speaking and seven with Russian-speaking people who have spent time at Sveta Baar. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, and thematic analysis was used to structure the material. The author's personal experience of nightlife plays a significant role as supporting material.
