Punk?s filth and fury had burned brightly and briefly; soon a new underground offered a more sustained and constructive challenge. As future-focused, independently released singles appeared in the wake of the Sex Pistols, there were high hopes in magazines like NME and the DIY fanzine media spawned by punk. Post-Punk, Politics and Pleasure in Britain explores how post-punk?s politics developed into the 1980s. Illustrating that the movement?s monochrome gloom was illuminated by residual flickers of countercultural utopianism, it situates post-punk in the ideological crossfire of a key political struggle of the era: a battle over pleasure and freedom between emerging Thatcherism and libertarian, feminist and countercultural movements dating back to the post-war New Left. Case studies on bands including Gang of Four, The Fall and the Slits and labels like Rough Trade move sensitively between close reading, historical context and analysis of who made post-punk and how it was produced and mediated. The book examines, too, how the struggles of post-punk resonate down to the present. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Subcultures and Popular Music,$x2730-9517 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aCivilization?History 606 $aMusic 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aCultural History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000 606 $aMusic$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/417000 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 0$aCivilization?History. 615 0$aMusic. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aMusic. 676 $a941 700 $aWilkinson$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0162658 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254774803321 996 $aPost-Punk, Politics and Pleasure in Britain$92019244 997 $aUNINA
