Resulting from a research on the gender identity constructions of women in club (sub)cultures (associated with electronic dance music) in Portugal, this article aims to contribute to clubbing studies by proposing an analytical framework useful for the study of different realities, spaces and fractions of clubbing. After discussing literature on the theories of subcultures, post-subcultures and club cultures, and the respective social changes and gender implications, we present a hybrid and plastic framework, capable of helping us explore the complexity of these realities. The article stresses the need to: i) segment with precision the club (sub)cultures fractions under study, ii) explore the multiple intersectionality between different variables (gender, social class, ethnicity, internal segmentation of club (sub)cultures, taste), and fi nally iii) analyse the clubbers' biographic and socialisation trajectories within the scope of the sociology of dispositions. These aspects are essential for an empirically and localised specifi cation of the multiple constructions of gender and femininities, thus avoiding the tacit universalisation of a single notion and experience of "female clubber".
