The 1970's was one of the most culturally vibrant periods in American history. This book discusses the dominant cultural forms of the 1970's - fiction and poetry; television and drama; film and visual culture; popular music and style; public space and spectacle - and the decade's most influential practitioners and texts: from Toni Morrison to All in the Family , from Diane Arbus to Bruce Springsteen, from M.A.S.H. to Taxi Driver and from disco divas to Vietnam protesters. In response to those who consider the seventies the time of disco, polyester and narcissism, this book rewrites the critical....

In 'The Subversive Seventies', Michael Hardt sets out to show that popular understandings of the political movements of the seventies - often seen as fractious, violent, and largely unsuccessful - are not just inaccurate, but foreclose valuable lessons for the political struggles of today. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe during the 1970s, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, Hardt argues that the movements of the 1970s identified and attempted to resolve the political problems that still face contemporary radical political thought and action.

"Antipsychiatry," Esalen, psychedelics, and DSM III: Radical challenges to psychiatry and the conventional treatment of mental health in the 1970s. The upheavals of the 1960s gave way to a decade of disruptions in the 1970s, and among the rattled fixtures of American society was mainstream psychiatry. A "Radical Caucus" formed within the psychiatric profession and the "antipsychiatry" movement arose. Critics charged that the mental health establishment was complicit with the military-industrial complex, patients were released from mental institutions, and powerful antipsychotic drugs became available. Meanwhile, practitioners and patients experimented with new approaches to mental health, from primal screaming and the therapeutic use of psychedelics to a new reliance on quantification. In Break on Through, Lucas Richert investigates the radical challenges to psychiatry and to the conventional treatment of mental health that emerged in the 1970s and the lessons they offer for current debates. Drawing on archives and government documents, medical journals, and interviews, and interweaving references to pop (counter)culture into his account, Richert offers fascinating stories of the decade's radical mental health practices. He discusses anti-Vietnam War activism and the new diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder given to some veterans; the radical psychiatrists who fought the system (and each other); the entry of New Age-style therapies, including Esalen's Human Potential Movement, into the laissez-faire therapeutic marketplace of the 1970s; the development of DSM III; and the use of LSD, cannabis, and MDMA. Many of these issues have resonance today. Debates over medical marijuana and microdoses of psychedelics echo debates of the 1970s. With rising rates of such disorders as anxiety and depression, practitioners and patients continue to search for therapeutic breakthroughs."--Provided by publisher.

Dirk Petter legt in seinem Buch neue Facetten der viel zitierten "Erbfreundschaft" zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und Frankreich frei. Die deutsch-französischen Beziehungen der 1970er Jahre sind in der heutigen Wahrnehmung vor allem durch das erfolgreiche politische Handeln des "Tandems" aus Valéry Giscard d'Estaing und Helmut Schmidt gekennzeichnet. Dagegen werden die Konflikte, die sich in einer Reihe öffentlicher Auseinandersetzungen äußerten, kaum erinnert. Jenseits der "großen Politik" richtet Petter sein Augenmerk auf den Annäherungsprozess zwischen Deutschen und Franzosen und untersucht das Wirken ausgewählter Akteure des staatlichen wie gesellschaftlichen Bereichs. In den Kontroversen der 1970er Jahre waren sie es, die versuchten, Brücken über den Rhein zu schlagen. Um die Beziehungen dauerhaft zu stabilisieren, wurde insbesondere der kulturelle Austausch gefördert. Der Autor legt das Wechselspiel von Konflikt und Verständigung offen, fragt nach den Ergebnissen der Freundschaftsbemühungen und ordnet die 1970er Jahre in den Kontext der deutsch-französischen Nachkriegsbeziehungen ein. Er erschließt ein Jahrzehnt, dem eine richtungweisende Funktion auf dem Weg zur deutsch-französischen Normalität der Gegenwart zukommt.

Durant les années 1970, la vie culturelle connaît à Liège une ébullition extraordinaire. Du Conservatoire à la RTB-Liège, du Cirque divers aux Grignoux et à l'Université, on voit des institutions, des groupes improvisés, des animateurs polariser cette effervescence. Des créateurs apparaissent - Pousseur, Charlier, Lizène, les Dardenne, Delcuvellerie, Houben... - qui déjà marquent l'époque de leur empreinte. Collectif, le présent ouvrage se veut une histoire vivante de cet épisode foisonnant. Il relie celui-ci aux événements sociaux qui ont préparé ou marqué les années en cause. La décennie 1970 s'inscrit à Liège dans la mouvance des grèves de 1960 en Belgique, dans celle de Mai 68 et dans un mouvement de luttes auquel artistes et intellectuels furent associés. Cette décennie peut paraître lointaine. Mais son héritage n'a pas fini d'enrichir la vie culturelle d'aujourd'hui. Ce sont aussi ces transmissions que l'ouvrage interroge.

Le livre décortique, à travers des archives inédites de Global Tools, les traductions des deux bulletins inexistants dans le monde francophone, des entretiens exclusifs d'Andrea Branzi, Gaetano Pesce, Gianni Pettena, Ugo La Pietra, Alessandro Mendini et deux écrits qui dialoguent, l'un de Paolo Deganello et l'autre de Franco Raggi. Ce dernier présente Global Tools ainsi : "Ceux qui ont fondé ou participé à la Global Tools s'intéressaient à la construction d'un programme d'activités de recherche éducative et productive qui partait d'en bas, dans le but théorique de libérer la créativité individuelle des superstructures culturelles qui empêchaient ou ralentissaient la capacité d'expression, selon l'hypothèse de travail libre, anarchiste (mais organisé), d'expérimentations dans le domaine du design, du vivre et du construire... La tentative fut aussi de revenir à une sorte de "condition primaire" de fabrication qui impliquait des "outils" individuels, les premiers ustensiles à notre disposition permettant d'interagir avec le monde extérieur comme les mains, les pieds, les sens, le corps, et leur perception. Parmi les sujets abordés, il y avait aussi une série de sujets qui venaient de l'expérience des groupes anarchistes américains, anglais et autrichiens. Nous avons condensé une tendance très généralisée et omniprésente, bien que souterraine. Une recherche expérimentale et expressive associée à une anti-rhétorique du projet et une quasi-annulation de la pratique de conception canonique pour concevoir sa guérison grâce à une "auto-thérapie.

The anti-authoritarian revolt of the 1960s and 1970s was a watershed in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The rebellion of the so-called '68ers' - against cultural conformity and the ideological imperatives of the Cold War, against the American war in Vietnam, and in favor of a more open accounting for the crimes of the Nazi era - helped to inspire a dialogue on democratization with profound effects on German society. Timothy Scott Brown examines the unique synthesis of globalizing influences on West Germany to reveal how the presence of Third World students, imported pop culture from America and England, and the influence of new political doctrines worldwide all helped to precipitate the revolt. The book explains how the events in West Germany grew out of a new interplay of radical politics and popular culture, even as they drew on principles of direct-democracy, self-organization and self-determination, all still highly relevant in the present day.
