摘要

"新浪漫主义者 "一词最早出现于 1980 年,用于描述一种英国青年文化,该文化最初以其奢华的服饰和对电子音乐的嗜好而闻名。新浪漫主义者与伦敦考文特花园的 "闪电战 "夜总会(以及英国其他地方的夜总会)关系密切,他们似乎标志着与朋克规定的美学和情感的决裂,拒绝愤怒的反对派,追求魅力和理想。对此,文化评论家往往试图将新浪漫主义与撒切尔主义的出现和 "20 世纪 80 年代 "联系起来。本文对这种解释提出了质疑,以对后现代主义的新生解读为基础,对新浪漫主义进行了更为复杂的分析。文章还转变了我们对战后英国历史时期化和 "流行个人主义 "概念的理解,认为青年文化为更广泛的社会文化变革进程和(后)现代自我的构建提供了宝贵的见解。

Past! Future! In Extreme!: Looking for Meaning in the “New Romantics,” 1978–82

First used in 1980, “new romantics” was a term applied to describe a British youth culture recognized initially for its sartorial extravagance and penchant for electronic music. Closely associated with the Blitz nightclub in London's Covent Garden (as well as milieus elsewhere in the UK), new romantics appeared to signal a break from the prescribed aesthetics and sensibilities of punk, rejecting angry oppositionism for glamour and aspiration. In response, cultural commentators have often sought to establish connections between new romantism and the advent of Thatcherism and “the 1980s.” This article challenges such an interpretation, offering a more complex analysis of new romanticism rooted in nascent readings of postmodernism. It also shifts our understandings of the periodization of postwar British history and the concept of “popular individualism,” arguing that youth culture provides invaluable insight both to broader processes of sociocultural change and to the construction of the (post)modern self.

期刊介绍: The official publication of the North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS), the Journal of British Studies, has positioned itself as the critical resource for scholars of British culture from the Middle Ages through the present. Drawing on both established and emerging approaches, JBS presents scholarly articles and books reviews from renowned international authors who share their ideas on British society, politics, law, economics, and the arts. In 2005 (Vol. 44), the journal merged with the NACBS publication Albion, creating one journal for NACBS membership. The NACBS also sponsors an annual conference , as well as several academic prizes, graduate fellowships, and undergraduate essay contests .
