What is Counterculture? Its an alternative lifestyle... The ideas that spark a revolution... A movement that changes the world... This new collection of essays celebrates the incredible originality of British post-war culture. British art, film, theatre, dance, literature and music have attracted international recognition, from the Angry Young Men to the Sex Pistols to Grayson Perry. Now gaming, the internet and social media enable creative communities to flourish and either fight for social justice or just be entertained. Can we find the creative inspiration to succeed in a postcapitalist future?
Recenzijas
Informative and entertaining, this provides a whipsmart and affectionate analysis of a subculture that stands at a critical point. Jonathan Hatfull, SciFi Now Magazine Oughton delivers a thorough contemporary investigation into the cult movie-going scene... with the passion and knowledge of a genuine insider... Marcus Campbell Sinclair, theatre and film producer Susan Murrays insightful overview of the alternative comedy scene is both informative and illuminating, shining a bright light on one of the UKs most important cultural movements in the late 20th Century. Bruce Dessau, British arts critic
