Pop Cultures and Ecstatic States of the Body Since World War II

248 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book examines the many, varied historical entanglements between pop cultures and ecstatic, euphoric, and intoxicated bodies, focusing on the period between the 1950s and the 1980s. Charting a new course by bringing together pop culture studies, the history of bodies, and the history of emotions, the volume unites new historical perspectives on different forms of corporeal pleasure and offers novel methods for studying the social and cultural politics of ecstasy.
