Anti-Disciplinary Protest: Sixties Radicalism and Postmodernism by Julie Stephens
4.0
Key Points:
1. The sixties witnessed the rise of an anti-disciplinary politics; "a language of protest which rejected hierarchy and leadership, strategy and planning, bureaucratic organisation and political parties." (4)
2. Modern apathy to politics has been "shaped as much by the success of the anti-disciplinary politics of the sixties counterculture as by the failure of more traditional forms of politics." (4)
3. Images and ideas of the protest were found all over the world; America served as "the focal point in the sixties for [this] transcontinental movement of activists." (7)
4. Disciplinary and anti-disciplinary politics were: "in constant dialogue, often in tension with one another and mingled with if not depended on the other for self-definition." (25)
5. The counterculture rejected the entire idea of rational discourse and logic: "Enlightenment nations of rationality were dismissed, often in favour of magic, madness and 'pre-modern' modes of logic." (30)
