The Legacy of Transgressive Objects traces the afterlife and historicization of the concept of transgression in the art, architecture, technology, music and psychedelic practices of 1968 and its legacy, by looking at the objects, materials and images that originally shaped these ideas. These decades saw the fertile cross-pollination of rebellious political and artistic energies: radical architecture suggested a whole new organization of society, artistic practices enthusiastically dissolved boundaries between art and life, and music festivals staged gleeful opportunities for transgression.
The material heritage of this historical moment is ambivalent―though often ephemeral and deteriorating, the objects associated with these ideas still function as repositories of time and as evocative physical objects. Against this background, this book traces the historical index of these objects that promised to change the world and now open up to the future horizons of the recent past.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Rebellion, transgression, and scandals are the normal conditions of '68. According to recent historiography, however, the revolutionary promise of the student revolts was short-lived: The process of stabilization and the decline of political energies in the 1980s followed the utopian phase of 1968/69. Yet one promise of the politicized era appeared to persist through this history of decline: the idea of transgression. This book traces the afterlife and historization of the theorem of transgression in art, architecture, technology, music, and psychedelic practices of the 60s and 70s by looking at the objects, materials, and images that actually shaped the idea of transgression - e.g. conceptions of radical architecture suggesting a whole new organization of society, the dissolution of boundaries between art and life in artistic practices, transgressions in music and festivals, and utopian visions of technological progress. The very objects of such far-reaching ideas are often ephemeral and of deteriorating material quality when visited in archives and museums today - yet they still function as repositories of time and as evocative physical objects. Against this background the book traces the historical index of objects that promised to change the world and opened up future horizons of the recent past. Seller Inventory # 9783941360648
