Course Description

A significant cultural shift happened in the second half of the 20th century. Where fashions and styles were once dictated from above by the upper classes and those over 30, young people from varied backgrounds began to dictate what will become fashionable. Teddy boys, mods, hippies, punk and Rastafarian subcultures have used clothing, to make a statement– often creating moral panics and media hysteria. This course delves into the rise of youth culture and some of the fashions and styles connected to the diverse subcultures. We will look at the history of subcultures and some classic examples from the post-war period to see why young people dress and behave in particular ways. You will be able to see how clothing, accessories, products and dance styles express diverse identities, political and social change. An illustrated lecture will be followed by a discussion focused on individual images and film clips.
