The Return of the 90s. A Cultural History of the Present - Madeline Lane-McKinley - książka

Opis

The 1990s represented a pivotal era, serving as a significant transition in the realms of popular music, television, cinema, literature, and fashion. Positioned between the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the tragic events of 9/11, this decade experienced what some called the 'end of history.' It marked the advent of the internet, the strengthening of neoliberalism, and a political fervor epitomized by the anti-globalization movement. As we look back on this influential period, its history is still unfolding, and we're only beginning to grasp its enduring impact. This anthology delves into the modern-day intrigue with the 1990s, weaving together social science and cultural analysis with a touch of nostalgic enthusiasm. It examines the critical shifts of the time to understand their current influence, addressing themes from 'girl power,' Star Trek and hip-hop, to queer cinema, anarchist culture, and the sensual drama of the erotic thriller. "The Return of the '90s" sheds light on defining moments from this decade and explores their ongoing relevance.
