Oddajemy do rąk Czytelnika książkę poświęconą niezwykłemu zjawisku w polskiej kulturze – rodzimemu rockowi lat 80., okresu wspominanemu dziś z nostalgią jako dekadę pełną sprzeczności, nacechowaną dialektyczną różnorodnością, a jednocześnie nie do końca dobrze opisaną. Choć dużo powiedziano już na temat politycznych aspektów tego okresu, to jego popkulturowe wątki wciąż czekają na swoją szansę zaistnienia. Tom, który czytacie, ma ową lukę – po części przynajmniej – wypełnić. W książce spojrzymy na polski rock lat 80. XX wieku z kulturoznawczego, literaturoznawczego, muzykologicznego, medioznawczego, socjologicznego i antropologicznego punktu widzenia. (Marek Jeziński, Wstęp [fragment])

L.L. Zamenhof (1859-1917), vor allem als Erfinder der internationalen Plansprache Esperanto in die Annalen eingegangen, ist weniger bekannt als Theoretiker der "judischen Frage". Als Ostjude geboren, war er in vielerlei Hinsicht Demutigungen, Diskriminierung und nationalem Chauvinismus ausgesetzt. Er musste erleben, wie sich Menschen hassten, verachteten und einander Leid zufugten, nur weil sie sich einem anderen Volk zugehorig fuhlten, also in einer anderen Sprache redeten und sich zu einer anderen Religion bekannten. Als Vertreter eines Volks, das seit zweitausend Jahren in der Diaspora lebte, seiner Rechte beraubt und immer wieder grausam verfolgt wurde, kam Zamenhof, um die "judische Fra...
"Over the past decade, the European Union has fallen into a drawn-out political and economic crisis. In No Culture, No Europe, the contributors argue that prior analyses of this crisis have missed an important element: culture. Faith in politics, like faith in a European currency, is first and foremost a cultural issue. Culture, as a shared frame of reference that lends meaning to people's lives, is the very foundation of any society, including a transnational European society. The essays in this volume analyze both theoretical models and concrete examples that clarify this thesis--that culture is an essential, binding element by which people assess their identities and their activities. How could culture give the European project a completely different meaning? What would happen if it did?" --publisher's website.

During the early 1980s, large parts of Europe were swept with riots and youth revolts. Radicalised young people occupied buildings and clashed with the police in cities such as Zurich, Berlin and Amsterdam, while in Great Britain and France, 'migrant' youths protested fiercely against their underprivileged position and police brutality. Was there a link between the youth revolts in different European cities, and if so, how were they connected and how did they influence each other? These questions are central in this volume. This book covers case studies from countries in both Eastern and Western Europe and focuses not only on political movements such as squatting, but also on political subcultures such as punk, as well as the interaction between them. In doing so, it is the first historical collection with a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective on youth, youth revolts and social movements in the 1980s.
