dbo:abstract
  • Die Sharpies (oder Sharps) waren eine Jugendkultur im Australien der 1960er und 1970er Jahre, die vor allem in Melbourne von Bedeutung war. Sie sind nicht zu verwechseln mit der antirassistischen Skinheadbewegung SHARP, die sich 1986 in den USA entwickelte. (de)
  • Les sharpies ou sharps sont les membres de bandes criminelles des banlieues australiennes, actives principalement pendant les années 1960 et 1970. Principalement implantées à Melbourne, on trouvait ces bandes dans une moindre mesure à Sydney et à Perth. Les sharpies avaient la réputation d'être violents, quoique rattachant leurs actions à une sorte de code moral. Leur nom vient de leur manière de s'habiller, leur donnant un « air intelligent » (en anglais : sharp looking). (fr)
