Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: De naoorlogse geschiedenis van Parijs en Amsterdam wordt sterk gedefinieerd door underground culturen, zowel in fysieke als in metaforische zin. Dit boek bekijkt de culturele uitwisseling tussen beide steden en onderzoekt de geschiedenis van tegencultuur in Parijs en Amsterdam in de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw. Door steeds heen en weer te schakelen tussen Parijs en Amsterdam, en door de spanning tussen naoorlogs avant-gardisme en de kosmopolitische stad van de eenentwintigste eeuw in kaart te brengen, weerspiegelt dit boek de drijvende kracht van de culturele underground in de grote steden van hedendaags Europa.Summary: The postwar histories of Paris and Amsterdam have been significantly defined by the notion of the "underground" as both a material and metaphorical space. Examining the underground traffic between the two cities, this book interrogates the countercultural histories of Paris and Amsterdam in the mid to late-twentieth century. Shuttling between Paris and Amsterdam, as well as between postwar avant-gardism and twenty-first century global urbanism, this interdisciplinary book seeks to create a mirroring effect over the notion of the underground as a driving force in the making of the contemporary European city.
