Abstract
• With rising cultural nationalism, young women in urban India are under increasing surveillance. • This restricts their access to cultural forms of ‘youth culture’. • Ethnography in Chennai shows that a culture of Afternoon Clubs allows young women to subvert this discipline. • In analysing this, the paper brings insights from affect theory to bear on subculture scholarship. • It shows that Afternoon Clubs reorient young women's urban experience away from vulnerability.
