COP books and new essay direction

Since i'm struggling quite a bit with my essay i have taken out a few books out the library to help me. I have recently made the decision to focus my essay on the Mod movement and culture specifically of the 1960's in Britain. As i have been meaning to focus into around subcultures for a while and was even toying around with looking into the influence of music on culture and Mod culture is a really good one to do that with as they were all influenced by new styles of music, new styles of clothes as they really embraced fashion and just all round new ways of living at that time. 

I was also pondering on for a while looking into an androgynous aspect within culture and music with musicians/singers such as David Bowie, Boy George and Annie Lennox who all had an important role in shaping new accepted ideas of gender, a concept i don't know a lot about but i have felt pretty fascinated by it as a concept for change in more ways than one. 

I feel that there is certain parallels with the Mod culture and this androgynous idea as it was the first teen led culture that incorporated androgynous aspects into its style for example through the short male like female haircuts which were known as Bob cuts. As well as the fact that a main instigator of the new androgynous revolution in Britain David Bowie was very much a mod in the 60's and his influence went through into glam rock which was a good platform for Bowie to show this new exciting way of being. So when i think about it there is a way of justifying me researching into Mod and the culture because i believe it was the foundation for all that we know now for our culture within music and fashion. I better stop now and save this for my essay. 

Here are the books i have taken out and i am hoping that they will kickstart an informed way of going about and analysing the mod movement and how important it has been culturally. 

This one is really good for the related imagery side of the mod culture featuring many images that i could even incorporate into my visual journal. 

This one i wasn't too sure about but it might place a good argument for the social deviance side of the culture and it features arguments on the mods and rockers side of things.
