Studio 54: Admission policies as a form of individualism in New York seventies' most famous disco and its display in film and literature - Softcover
Synopsis
Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2,0, University of Potsdam (Philosophisches Institut), course: Proseminar, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: „...and for three years it was the most talked-about, written-about and shocked-about venue in the universe.
