Book excerpt: This first-of-its-kind collection presents photographer Karlheinz Weinberger’s influential portraits of rebel youth of the sixties. While Karlheinz Weinberger is known as a pioneer of male erotic imagery, the Swiss amateur photographer also left an indelible mark on the fashion world with his decades-long documenting of vibrant rebel youth culture. These working-class teenagers created looks that fused iconic American pop culture imagery—biker jackets, denim jeans, bouffant hairdos, James Dean insouciance—with their own idiosyncratic sensibilities. From the late 1950s through the ’60s, Weinberger captured the defiant glamour of these youths with a keen eye for their provocative handmade designs. Inspired by the rebel youth’s pop playfulness and fierce individuality, a legion of contemporary fashion-industry leaders have been profoundly influenced by the photographs collected in this stunning volume.

Book excerpt: During the “long sixties,” baby boomers raised on democratic postwar ideals demanded a more egalitarian society for all. While a few became vocal leaders at universities across Canada, nearly 90% of Canada’s young people went straight to work after high school. There, they brought the anti-authoritarian spirit of the youth revolt to the labour movement. While university-based activists combined youth culture with a new brand of radicalism to form the New Left, young workers were pressing for wildcat strikes and defying their aging union leaders in a wave of renewed militancy. In Rebel Youth, Ian Milligan looks at these converging currents, demonstrating convincingly how they were part of a single youth phenomenon. With just short of seventy interviews complementing the extensive use of archival records from ten different cities, this book claims a central place for labour and class in the legacy of the Canadian sixties.

Book excerpt: Visit theUnspun website which includes Table of Contents and the Introduction. The World Wide Web has cut a wide path through our daily lives. As claims of "the Web changes everything" suffuse print media, television, movies, and even presidential campaign speeches, just how thoroughly do the users immersed in this new technology understand it? What, exactly, is the Web changing? And how might we participate in or even direct Web-related change? Intended for readers new to studying the Internet, each chapter in Unspun addresses a different aspect of the "web revolution"--hypertext, multimedia, authorship, community, governance, identity, gender, race, cyberspace, political economy, and ideology--as it shapes and is shaped by economic, political, social, and cultural forces. The contributors particularly focus on the language of the Web, exploring concepts that are still emerging and therefore unstable and in flux. Unspun demonstrates how the tacit assumptions behind this rhetoric must be examined if we want to really know what we are saying when we talk about the Web. Unspun will help readers more fully understand and become critically aware of the issues involved in living, as we do, in a wired society. Contributors include: Jay Bolter, Sean Cubitt, Jodi Dean, Dawn Dietrich, Cynthia Fuchs, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Timothy Luke, Vincent Mosco, Lisa Nakamura, Russell Potter, Rob Shields, John Sloop, and Joseph Tabbi.

Book excerpt: Poco meno di vent'anni di egemonia e dominazione napoleonica avevano fortemente inciso sulla mentalità di una generazione di Italiani, che da quel periodo avevano avuto una bandiera, una consolidata coscienza nazionale e la possibilità di conoscersi meglio sia entro gli ampi confini territoriali che li comprendevano, sia sotto le armi in ogni parte d'Europa. Quella generazione aveva goduto di rilevanti riforme in campo politico, amministrativo e giudiziario, e si era ritratta dal legame con Napoleone solo di fronte al continuo bagno di sangue e alle crescenti tasse che l'Impero imponeva per uno stato di guerra che non aveva avuto soluzioni di continuità Quella generazione aveva avuto il tempo per educare la successiva ai valori positivi che aveva riscontrato nel periodo rivoluzionario e nell'età napoleonica: in diversa e variegata gradazione aveva apprezzato i principi di libertà e fratellanza, e il modo di applicarli al governo della comunità. Che cosa restava di tanto fervore alla nuova generazione dopo il Congresso di Vienna? Poco o nulla: il ritorno dell'ancien régime non contemplava che assai limitate concessioni a quanto emerso in quasi quattro lustri di profonde trasformazioni sociali, politiche, amministrative ed economiche. Per tale gioventù, che crescerà e maturerà negli anni tra il 1815 e il 1848, non vi era altra scelta che divenire ribelle, non potendo accettare il ritorno a valori e princìpi che gli stessi genitori avevamo posto in discussione o subito passivamente senza aderirvi. Lo spirito romantico dell'epoca incanalò la ribellione di questa gioventù, nobile o borghese che fosse, nell'iniziativa personale, nella testimonianza o nel sacrificio individuale, ma gli esempi che questa Mostra presenta ci indicano con chiarezza come quei sacrifici non furono compiuti invano. [dal testo introduttivo di Romano Ugolini, Presidente dell'Istituto per la storia del Risorgimento italiano]
