Cultural Revolution?: The Challenge of the Arts in the 1960s edited by John Seed, Bart Moore-Gilbert
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 2.4 MB
Overview: Are the cultural upheavals of the sixties just a media myth? The Summer of Love with its ambience of marijuana and sitar music, the glitterati of Swinging London and student protesters battling with the police, evoke a period of material prosperity, cultural innovation and youthful rebellion. But how significant were the radical aspirations and utopian ideals of the sixties? And what is the legacy of the social, political and cultural transformations which characterized the decade?
In an interdisciplinary collection of specially commissioned essays, the contributors to Cultural Revolution? uncover the complex economic and political contexts in which these changes took place. Covering a wide variety of art forms—drama, television, film, poetry, the novel, popular music, dance, cinema and the visual arts—they investigate how sixties culture became politicized, and how its inherent contradictions still have repercussions for the arts today.
Cultural Revolution? will be an important resource for students and teachers across social science and arts disciplines, especially those involved in cultural, media and communications studies.
