Beschreibung:
In 1969, Leslie Fiedler predicted the »exhilarating possibility« of a time in which »judgments about the >goodness< and >badness< of art« would be »separated from distinctions between >high< and >low<«. Today, Fiedler's vision seems to have come true: almost all spheres of artistic production are dominated by a pluralist view of culture. Eva Morawietz argues that American culture from the 1950s through the 1970s induced this shift in artistic values by creating a modern vernacular aesthetic which slowly undermined and changed not only the literary canon but bourgeois notions of canonicity itself. Focussing on works by Frank O'Hara, Kurt Vonnegut, and Thomas Pynchon, Morawietz describes how notions of high art were transformed from within in the second half of the 20th century.
