{"product_id":"hipster-culture-heike-steinhoff-9781501370410","title":"Hipster Culture: Transnational and Intersectional Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwenty-first century popular culture has given birth to a peculiar cultural figure: the hipster. Stereotypically associated with nerd glasses, beards and buns, boho clothing, and ironic T-shirts, hipsters represent a (post-)postmodern (post-)subculture whose style, aesthetics, and practices have increasingly become mainstream. \u003ci\u003eHipster Culture\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive collection of original studies that address the hipster and hipster culture from a range of cultural studies perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnalyzing the cultural, economic, aesthetic, and political meanings and implications of a wide range of phenomena prominently associated with hipster culture, the contributors bring their expertise and own research perspectives to bear, thus shaping the volume's transnational and intersectional approach. Chapters address global and local manifestations of hipster culture, processes of urban gentrification and cultural appropriation, alternative foodways and eclectic fashion styles, the significance of nostalgia, retro technologies and social media, and the aesthetics and cultural politics of literature, film, art, and music marked by self-reflexivity, irony, and a simultaneous longing for an earnest authenticity. \u003ci\u003eHipster Culture\u003c\/i\u003e explores the diversification of hipster culture, sheds light on popular constructions of the hipster as cultural Other, and critically investigates hipster culture's entanglements with and challenges to dominant cultural discourses of gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, age, religion, and nationality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heike Steinhoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501370413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501370410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Heike Steinhoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445232513279,"sku":"9781501370410","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99bdef26-a5ed-432f-a088-5d88f5547a3e.jpg?v=1777217375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hipster-culture-heike-steinhoff-9781501370410","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
