Order

The mood of optimism after the Second World War, the new consumer society of the era of the economic miracle, Americanism, the triumph of popular culture as reflected in the arts (literature, fine arts, film, architecture, urban development, design) and finally Switzerland as a hub in the context of the Cold War - these are the topics covered in this publication. The book, based on an interdisciplinary conference, was jointly published by gta Verlag and SIK-ISEA.
