Post-punk : then and now
2016
Book
"What were the conditions of possibility for art and music-making before the era of neoliberal capitalism? What role did punk play in turning artists to experiment with popular music in the late 1970s and early 1980s? And why does the art and music of these times seem so newly pertinent to our political present, despite the seeming remoteness of its historical moment? Focusing upon the production of post-punk art, film, music, and publishing, this book offers new perspectives on an overlooked period of cultural activity, and probes the lessons that might be learnt from history for artists and musicians working under 21st century conditions of austerity. Includes contemporary reflections by those who shaped avant-garde and contestatory culture in the 1970s and 1980s, alongside contributions by contemporary artists and scholars. Focusing on the UK, US, Brazil and Poland, the book provides critical perspectives on post-punk then, and its generative relation to the aesthetics and politics of cultural production today"-- Back cover.
