Notes and References Notes and References CHAPTER 1: WHAT REVOLUTION? 1. Throughout this book 'revolution' is used in general sense of 'fundamental and far-reaching change'. Political revolution, involving the overthrow of an existing system of government, is not necessarily implied. 2. Peter Laslett, in Listener, 11 January 1962, p. 53. This was the third of three talks, all reprinted in the Listener, given under the general title of 'The Social Revolution of Our Time'. 3. This was even more true of the United States, where four million boys and girls became 18 in 1965, compared with two million in 1956. Even so, as was pointed out by an American observer in Erik H. Erikson (ed.}, Youth: Change and Challenge (New York: Basic Books, 1961} p. 133: 'At the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, half the nation was under eighteen. We do not touch this proportion today.' 4. James S. Coleman, The Adolescent Society (New York: The Free Press, 1961} p. 3. 5.

For ease of reading the simpler 'his' or 'he' will be used. 7. Graham Turner, 'Ladies will be Ladies', Sunday Telegraph, 12July 1981. Turner makes a very similar point in his previous article about Eton, 5 July 1981. The majority of Eton boys, he says, prefer to conceal the fact when they are with strangers. They 'reach for their camouflage'. But, he points out, 'accents can give the game away'. The boys reckon that only 10 per cent now have real Etonian accents and almost everyone seems both delighted and relieved. 'It's only grandmothers who have really awful Etonian voices', said Tony Ray, the Senior Housemaster, while Tom, who took his A levels this half (i.e. term) admits candidly that 'you keep your accent down because of other people'. 8.

  • Thanks for Coming: Four Archival Collections and the Counterculture
    Thanks for Coming: Four Archival Collections and the Counterculture Introduction Douglas Field, Senior Lecturer in Twentieth Century American Literature, University of Manchester, UK. Email: [email protected] According to Richard Neville, founder of OZ, the most notorious magazine of the 1960s, “That unpopular label, Underground, embraces hippies, beats, mystics, madness, freaks, Yippies, crazies, crackpots, communards and anyone who rejects rigid political ideology.”1 And while the Beat Generation had challenged mainstream 1950s US culture and consciousness, the moniker Underground emerged in the early 1960s, followed by the term “counter culture” towards the end of the decade.2 According to the British polymath Jeff Nuttall, “duplicated magazines and home movies” defined the Underground, which began, he claims, in New York around 1964.3 1 Richard Neville, Play Power: Exploring the International Underground (New York: Random House, 1970), 18. 2 Theodore Roszak, The Making of a Counter Culture: Reflections on the Technocratic Society & Its Youthful Opposition (New York: Anchor Books, 1969). 3 Jeff Nuttall, Bomb Culture, ed. and introd. Douglas Field and Jay Jones (London: Strange Attractor, 2018), 174. Counterculture Studies 3(1) 2020 1 During the 1960s, British and North American counter-cultural activists forged extensive national and global networks through the publication of Underground newspapers, beginning with Village Voice, which was co-founded by Normal Mailer in 1955. Notable Underground newspapers included Los Angeles Free Press (1964) and International Times (IT), a London-based publication that became Europe’s first underground newspaper in 1966. The Underground Press Syndicate (UPS), later known as the Alternative Press Syndicate (APS) was also formed that year, encouraging wider distribution of articles by enabling participating members to freely reprint content.

Rich�d Deakin r Presented as part of the requirement forthe award of the MA Degree in Cultural, Literary, andHistorical Studies within the Postgraduate Modular Scheme at Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education June 1999 11 DECLARATIONS This.Dissertation is the product of my own work and is. not the result of anything done in collaboration. I agreethat this. Dissertationmay be available forreference and photocopying,. at the discretion of the College. Richard Deakin 111 ABSTRACT Whateverperspective one takes, contradictions in the relationship between the capital and the provinces have always been evident to some extent, and the British undergroundpress of the late 1960s and early 1970s is no exception. The introductoryfirst chapter will definethe meaning of the term 'underground' in this context, and outline some of thesources used and the methodologies employed. Chapter Two will show how the British underground press developed froman alternative coterie of writers, poets, and artists - often sympathisers of the Campaign forNuclear Disarmament movement. It will also show how having developed from roots that were arguably provincial the undergroundadopted London as its base. The third chapter will take a more detailed look at the background of some London and provincial underground publications andwill attempt to see what extent the London undergroundpress portrayed the provinces, and vice-versa. In Chapter Four actual aspects of lifein urbanand rural settings, such as communes, squats, and pop festivals,will be examined in relation to the adoption of these lifestylesby the wider counterculture and how they were adapted to particular environments as part of an envisioned alternativesociety.

  • The Second English Folk Revival, C. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell
    Subterranean Bourgeois Blues: The Second English Folk Revival, c. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell UCL This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. 2 I, Julia Yvonne Mitchell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis explores the folk revival phenomenon in England, through an original examination of its place in the social and political history of the country after the Second World War. Although its roots stretched back to the early twentieth century, the post- war English folk revival significantly occurred in the context of the nation’s de- industrialisation, and exposed tensions between, on the one hand, a nostalgic lament for a fast-disappearing working class life, and a ‘forward-looking’ socialist vision of working-class culture. The original contribution to knowledge of this project lies in its analytic approach to the English folk revival as an important part of the post-war political culture. It looks at the revival from the outside in, and contextualizes the movement in the social and political story of post-war England, while also placing it within a dynamic transnational framework, a complex cross-Atlantic cultural exchange with its more well-known American contemporary. In so doing, this thesis contributes to the existing historiographies of folk revivalism in England, as well as the social and political historiographical discourses of the postwar period: the continued salience of class in English society; the transformation of the nation’s economic infrastructures; the social and political influence of the Welfare State – the folk revival tapped into all of these overlapping strands, and helped to magnify them.

Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.

  • Wholly Communion, Literary Nationalism, and the Sorrows of the Counterculture Daniel Kane
    Wholly Communion, Literary Nationalism, and the Sorrows of the Counterculture Daniel Kane all those americans here writing about america it’s time to give something back, after all our heroes were always the gangster the outlaw why surprised you act like it now, a place the simplest man was always the most complex you gave me the usual things, comics, music, royal blue drape suits & what they ever give me but unreadable books? Tom Raworth, “I Mean” These opening lines from “I Mean” by British poet Tom Raworth, published in 1967 in Raworth’s fi rst full- length collection, The Relation Ship (Goliard Press),1 stand as a kind of metaphor for a larger problem facing British avant- garde poetry in the 1960s. Put simply, “I Mean” addresses an “American” infl uence on British letters that was to weigh heavily on poets challenging the restrained formalism and hostility to the modernist project characteris- tic of the British “Movement” poets.2 How were the many Beat and Black Mountain– enamored versifi ers of Albion to be innovative on their own terms? The avant- garde, as Raworth seems to have it, is predicated on the aura of the “outlaw,” the “gangster.” Such fi gures are suggestively American, par- ticularly when read within the context of the poem’s opening lines. American signs pointing the way forward for a developing British poetics include an idealized simplicity, comics, and music.3 Raworth’s poem works in part to ask whether the English will be able to “give something back.” What would that “something” sound like? What would it look like? Would it be somehow Framework 52, No.

    THE CIVICS OF ROCK: SIXTIES COUNTERCULTURAL MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE by Michael Jacob Kramer A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: John F. Kasson Reader: Robert Cantwell Reader: Peter Filene Reader: Lawrence Grossberg Reader: Jacquelyn Hall © 2006 Michael Jacob Kramer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MICHAEL KRAMER: The Civics of Rock: Sixties Countercultural Music and the Transformation of the Public Sphere (Under the direction of Professor John F. Kasson) For the counterculture of the 1960s and 70s, rock music was not only mass entertainment, but also a form of public life. While many scholars have argued that rock was incompatible with civic participation, this book claims that in music scenes such as San Francisco, in poster art and dancing, on the radio and in print publications, rock served as a flash point for dilemmas of citizenship and civil society. As frequently as it deteriorated into escapism and hedonism, rock also created an atmosphere of inquiry in which the young might listen, think, move, and feel their way through issues of public and civic interaction, such as identity, belonging, power, and democracy. Even when exported by the American military to Vietnam or when circulating to youth movements worldwide, far from eclipsing public life, rock music transformed it into a mass-mediated mode of association
