Reihe: Literature, Cultural and Media Studies

Examines the hipster in terms of fundamental debates about aesthetics and ethics in contemporary art and visual culture

Investigates the unique paradoxes of the term “hipster”, which is at once an aesthetic stereotype and an ideological mode of deflection

Historicises the hipster in order to grapple with issues of cultural appropriation, identity politics, aesthetic discernment and critical practice, drawing from the legacies of the flâneur, the avant-garde, and the beatnik to illuminate the cultural changes effected by global capitalism and digital technologies
