Book Synopsis Rebel Youth by : Martynka Wawrzyniak
Download or read book Rebel Youth written by Martynka Wawrzyniak and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-of-its-kind collection presents photographer Karlheinz Weinberger’s influential portraits of rebel youth of the sixties. While Karlheinz Weinberger is known as a pioneer of male erotic imagery, the Swiss amateur photographer also left an indelible mark on the fashion world with his decades-long documenting of vibrant rebel youth culture. These working-class teenagers created looks that fused iconic American pop culture imagery—biker jackets, denim jeans, bouffant hairdos, James Dean insouciance—with their own idiosyncratic sensibilities. From the late 1950s through the ’60s, Weinberger captured the defiant glamour of these youths with a keen eye for their provocative handmade designs. Inspired by the rebel youth’s pop playfulness and fierce individuality, a legion of contemporary fashion-industry leaders have been profoundly influenced by the photographs collected in this stunning volume.
Download or read book Rebels written by Leerom Medovoi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-23 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holden Caulfield, the beat writers, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and James Dean—these and other avatars of youthful rebellion were much more than entertainment. As Leerom Medovoi shows, they were often embraced and hotly debated at the dawn of the Cold War era because they stood for dissent and defiance at a time when the ideological production of the United States as leader of the “free world” required emancipatory figures who could represent America’s geopolitical claims. Medovoi argues that the “bad boy” became a guarantor of the country’s anti-authoritarian, democratic self-image: a kindred spirit to the freedom-seeking nations of the rapidly decolonizing third world and a counterpoint to the repressive conformity attributed to both the Soviet Union abroad and America’s burgeoning suburbs at home. Alongside the young rebel, the contemporary concept of identity emerged in the 1950s. It was in that decade that “identity” was first used to define collective selves in the politicized manner that is recognizable today: in terms such as “national identity” and “racial identity.” Medovoi traces the rapid absorption of identity themes across many facets of postwar American culture, including beat literature, the young adult novel, the Hollywood teen film, early rock ‘n’ roll, black drama, and “bad girl” narratives. He demonstrates that youth culture especially began to exhibit telltale motifs of teen, racial, sexual, gender, and generational revolt that would burst into political prominence during the ensuing decades, bequeathing to the progressive wing of contemporary American political culture a potent but ambiguous legacy of identity politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poco meno di vent'anni di egemonia e dominazione napoleonica avevano fortemente inciso sulla mentalità di una generazione di Italiani, che da quel periodo avevano avuto una bandiera, una consolidata coscienza nazionale e la possibilità di conoscersi meglio sia entro gli ampi confini territoriali che li comprendevano, sia sotto le armi in ogni parte d'Europa. Quella generazione aveva goduto di rilevanti riforme in campo politico, amministrativo e giudiziario, e si era ritratta dal legame con Napoleone solo di fronte al continuo bagno di sangue e alle crescenti tasse che l'Impero imponeva per uno stato di guerra che non aveva avuto soluzioni di continuità Quella generazione aveva avuto il tempo per educare la successiva ai valori positivi che aveva riscontrato nel periodo rivoluzionario e nell'età napoleonica: in diversa e variegata gradazione aveva apprezzato i principi di libertà e fratellanza, e il modo di applicarli al governo della comunità. Che cosa restava di tanto fervore alla nuova generazione dopo il Congresso di Vienna? Poco o nulla: il ritorno dell'ancien régime non contemplava che assai limitate concessioni a quanto emerso in quasi quattro lustri di profonde trasformazioni sociali, politiche, amministrative ed economiche. Per tale gioventù, che crescerà e maturerà negli anni tra il 1815 e il 1848, non vi era altra scelta che divenire ribelle, non potendo accettare il ritorno a valori e princìpi che gli stessi genitori avevamo posto in discussione o subito passivamente senza aderirvi. Lo spirito romantico dell'epoca incanalò la ribellione di questa gioventù, nobile o borghese che fosse, nell'iniziativa personale, nella testimonianza o nel sacrificio individuale, ma gli esempi che questa Mostra presenta ci indicano con chiarezza come quei sacrifici non furono compiuti invano. [dal testo introduttivo di Romano Ugolini, Presidente dell'Istituto per la storia del Risorgimento italiano]

Convinced she needs more discipline and to reconnect with her roots, Mariam's parents send her to Cairo to stay with her grandmother, her sittu. But Marian's strict sittu and the country of her heritage are nothing like she imagined, challenging everything Mariam once believed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This significant contribution to German history pioneers a conceptually sophisticated approach to German-German relations. Poiger has much to say about the construction of both gender norms and masculine and feminine identities, and she has valuable insights into the role that notions of race played in defining and reformulating those identities and prescriptive behaviors in the German context. The book will become a 'must read' for German historians."—Heide Fehrenbach, author of Cinema in Democratizing Germany "Poiger breaks new ground in this history of the postwar Germanies. The book will serve as a model for all future studies of comparative German-German history."—Robert G. Moeller, author of Protecting Motherhood "Jazz, Rock, and Rebels exemplifies the exciting work currently emerging out of transnational analyses. [A] well-written and well-argued study."—Priscilla Wald, author of Constituting Americans
Book Synopsis Gilded Youth by : James Brooke-Smith
Download or read book Gilded Youth written by James Brooke-Smith and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British public school is an iconic institution, a training ground for the ruling elite and a symbol of national identity and tradition. But beyond the elegant architecture and evergreen playing fields is a turbulent history of teenage rebellion, sexual dissidence, and political radicalism. James Brooke-Smith wades into the wilder shores of public-school life over the last three hundred years in Gilded Youth. He uncovers armed mutinies in the late eighteenth century, a Victorian craze for flagellation, dandy-aesthetes of the 1920s, quasi-scientific discourse on masturbation, Communist scares in the 1930s, and the salacious tabloid scandals of the present day. Drawing on personal experience, extensive research, and public school representations in poetry, school slang, spy films, popular novels, and rock music, Brooke-Smith offers a fresh account of upper-class adolescence in Britain and the role of elite private education in shaping youth culture. He shows how this central British institution has inspired a counterculture of artists, intellectuals, and radicals—from Percy Shelley and George Orwell to Peter Gabriel and Richard Branson—who have rebelled against both the schools themselves and the wider society for which they stand. Written with verve and humor in the tradition of Owen Jones’s The Establishment: And How They Get Away With It, this highly original cultural history is an eye-opening leap over the hallowed iron gates of privilege—and perturbation.

Download or read book Rebels Wit Attitude written by Iain Ellis and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock music has been the principal outlet of youth rebellion for more than half a century, and though rock rebels have been idolized and profiled extensively, their humor has not been at the center of attention. In Rebels Wit Attitude, music writer Iain Ellis throws a spotlight on the history of humor in rock music, and its use as a weapon of anti-establishment rebellion. The performers who are the subjects of Ellis’ study are not merely musicians or comedians—they are artists whose works exude defiance and resistance. Discussing the work of iconic figures as diverse as Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, the Beastie Boys, and Madonna, Ellis reveals how issues of politics, ethics, race, and gender, among others, have energized their expressions of rock (and) humor. Rebels Wit Attitude is an entertaining look at some of the greatest rebels in American rock culture and a fascinating history of humor and dissent.
Book Synopsis We the Young Fighters by : Marc Sommers
Download or read book We the Young Fighters written by Marc Sommers and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2023-10 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We the Young Fighters is at once a history of a nation, the story of a war, and the saga of downtrodden young people and three pop culture superstars. Reggae idol Bob Marley, rap legend Tupac Shakur, and the John Rambo movie character all portrayed an upside-down world, where those in the right are blamed while the powerful attack them. Their collective example found fertile ground in the West African nation of Sierra Leone, where youth were entrapped, inequality was blatant, and dissent was impossible. When warfare spotlighting diamonds, marijuana, and extreme terror began in 1991, military leaders exploited the trio's transcendent power over their young fighters and captives. Once the war expired, youth again turned to Marley for inspiration and Tupac for friendship. Thoroughly researched and accessibly written, We the Young Fighters probes terror-based warfare and how Tupac, Rambo, and-especially-Bob Marley wove their way into the fabric of alienation, resistance, and hope in Sierra Leone. The tale of pop culture heroes radicalizing warfare and shaping peacetime underscores the need to engage with alienated youth and reform predatory governments. The book ends with a framework for customizing the international response to these twin challenges.
