Krátky popis
Nostalgia has never felt so current. As we turn to past decades for
inspiration and clues to help us navigate the cultural labyrinth of
social media, this book allows readers to discover the 1980s
afresh, from design and art styles to iconic photos, fashion
trends, music videos and digital breakthroughs. Like a perfectly
curated mixtape, this era defining book transports you back in time
to the social, political and technological tipping point of recent
history.The 1980s were a time of bold exploration, dazzling
creativity, inspiring unity and stark division. Technology, media,
gender roles, race, sexuality, geopolitics, climate, our place in
the universe. You name it: the 1980s saw almost all aspects of
humanity challenged, upturned, and reimagined.Skip forward from the
first space shuttle to the first episode of The Simpsons, from
Jean-Michel Basquiat to Gordon Gekko, or from shoulder pads to
smiley faces. This immersive visual narrative presents a
fascinating ecosystem of influence between high and low culture
that makes sense of the decade's recurring motifs, trends, and
themes, from lush tropicana to neo-noir dystopia. Start with the
explosion of breakdancing and boom boxes on the subway, the beeps
and bloops of new electronic game consoles, and Jane Fonda's pastel
leotards and legwarmers.Move on to the savage materialism of the
wolves of Wall Street, the synchronized moves of the zombies in the
Thriller video, and tailored Armani suits. Witness the rise of a
new and assertive gay culture and explore the darker corners of the
club scene. Remember the silent rise of the AIDS epidemic, the
impact of Live Aid concerts, and the fight against apartheid.You'll
see how the reverberation of cultural debates around the globe
reaches decibels that can break down barriers and prompt change,
from Madrid's La Movida to the Soviet perestroika and the fall of
the Berlin Wall.
