| Summary: | "Rebellion, transgression, and scandals are the normal conditions of 1968. According to recent historiography, though, the revolutionary promise of the student revolts was short-lived: the utopian phase of 1968/69 was followed by the process of stabilization and the decline of political energies in the 1980s. One promise of the politicized era, however, to have persisted throughout this history of decline: the idea of transgression. This book traces the afterlife and historization of transgression in art, architecture, technology, music, and psychedelic practices of the 1960s and '70s by looking at the objects, materials, and images that actually shaped its appearance."--Provided by publisher. |
