Abstract

"This ... collection uses bohemia as a novel lens for reconsidering more traditional views of the South. Exploring wide-ranging locales, such as Athens, Austin, Black Mountain College, Knoxville, Memphis, New Orleans, and North Carolina's Research Triangle, each essay challenges popular interpretations of the South, while highlighting important bohemian sub- and countercultures. The bohemian South provides [a] perspective in the new South as an epicenter for progress, innovation, and experimentation"--

Abstract

Thomas Pynchon and American Counterculture employs the revolutionary sixties as a lens through which to view the anarchist politics of Pynchon's novels. Joanna Freer identifies and elucidates Pynchon's commentaries on such groups as the Beats, the New Left and the Black Panther Party and on such movements as the psychedelic movement and the women's movement, drawing out points of critique to build a picture of a complex countercultural sensibility at work in Pynchon's fiction. In emphasising the subtleties of Pynchon's responses to counterculture, Freer clarifies his importance as an intellectually rigorous political philosopher. She further suggests that, like the graffiti in Gravity's Rainbow, Pynchon creates texts that are 'revealed in order to be thought about, expanded on, translated into action by the people', his early attraction to core countercultural values growing into a conscious, politically motivated writing project that reaches its most mature expression in Against the Day.

Abstract

The postwar histories of Paris and Amsterdam have been significantly defined by the notion of the "underground" as both a material and metaphorical space. Examining the underground traffic between the two cities, this book interrogates the countercultural histories of Paris and Amsterdam in the mid to late-twentieth century. Shuttling between Paris and Amsterdam, as well as between postwar avant-gardism and twenty-first century global urbanism, this interdisciplinary book seeks to create a mirroring effect over the notion of the underground as a driving force in the making of the contemporary European city.

Abstract

This book proposes a critical reevaluation of antipoetry, nueva canción, and third cinema in relation to decolonial theory and contemporary aesthetic inquiries. A prime objective of the book as a whole is to bring these separate art forms into dialogue with each as collectively contributing to an archive of decolonial art forms.

Abstract

En prés d'un millénaire d'histoire se cristallise une figure extraordinairement polysémique, et paradoxale, de l'étudiant universitaire. Dans l'imaginaire social, la littérature, les arts plastiques, la musique, les analyses de toutes natures, l'étudiant est ainsi associé à la fois à l'étude et à la fête, au conformisme et à la contestation - voire à la révolution -, à l'élitisme et à la marginalité, mais aussi à la solidarité et à la citoyenneté. Les événements qui bouleversent les campus de la côte ouest des États-Unis durant les années 60, et l'explosion de mai 68 en Europe, mettent encore un peu plus les engagements extra-académiques des étudiants sous les feux de la rampe. D'autant qu'en un sens, ils ne font que prendre le relais à la fois chronologique et géographique du Mouvement de 1919 en Chine ou de la part prise par les étudiants aux vagues révolutionnaires européennes du 19e siècle, qu'il s'agisse du Printemps des peuples de 1848, de la Commune de Paris ou de la Révolution russe de 1905. Quant aux variations nationales ou continentales des formes de l'engagement ou des activités extra-académiques des étudiants, elles complexifient encore un paysage que les évolutions sociétales des trente dernières années ont profondément modifié. Dans ce contexte général, le présent ouvrage tente de répondre aux questions suivantes: en ce début de 21e siècle, quelle typologie, quelle géographie et quel-le généalogie des formes d'engagement extra-académique des étudiants peut-on établir? Quelles sont les variations et les accentuations nationales ou continentales identifiables? Et quels en sont les facteurs essentiels? Peut-on identifier un modèle 'louvaniste' d'engagement extra-académique des étudiants? Quelles en seraient les caractéristiques et l'originalité? Quels en seraient les sources et les déterminants? Quel en serait l'impact à la fois pour l'institution universitaire, le monde étudiant et l'environnement social?
