LIVING IN A WORLD THAT CAN’T BE FIXED: REIMAGINING COUNTERCULTURE TODAY

Book ID/图书代码： 08885019C00008

English Summary/英文概要： With the rise of the anti-Trump resistance, we’ve seen a flourishing of art, media, and lifestyles branded as countercultural. But are they really challenging power? Are they helping build the world we want to live in, or merely reinforcing the status quo? In the way White’s acclaimed The Middle Mind challenged what passed for intellectualism or imagination in America, this book challenges what passes as counterculture . . . at a moment when we’re in desperate need of the real thing.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 身處在一個環境已經被我們毀壞到無法修復的時代，我們再也不能相信我們的政治家能拯救我們了，本書認為，為了使我們能夠生存在一起我們想要的世界，我們必須重新建立全新的反叛文化。

「這是一本關於反判文化（counterculture）的書，這正是問題本身......」Curtis White以此做為對當代亟需復興反叛文化的強力呼籲。

Curtis White認為，這個問題有兩個層面：一方面，大多數人認為反叛文化只是20世紀60年代的一種現象，另一方面，他們認為今日的反叛文化也沒什麼不同。根本不是。實際上，反叛文化是我們拯救地球、繞過黨派僵局、創造我們真正想要居住的世界的唯一希望。

Curtis White - 「當代最激勵人心的邪惡社會批評家」（by Elle雜誌） - 為我們展示了我們所謂的反叛文化產品，從肯·伯恩斯(Ken Burns)的紀錄片到《黑豹》電影，其實很少對權力提出有意義的挑戰，以及我們自己的消費模式又是如何使我們無法進行任何真正實際的社會變革。他為我們提出了如何將公民不服從作為一種生活方式，以及一個更美好世界的願景 - 充滿了遊戲、關懷和人際連結。 (Zoe)

Awards/获奖情况："White has the courage, rare in our time, to associate the right and the good explicitly with the beautiful."—Mark Greif, author of Against Everything

“An intensely satisfying reconception of cult, culture, and counterculture. White’s call to kindle a spirit of impertinence and improvisation, to refuse spectatorial politics and "mass media sludge," is nothing if not timely. If you think the counterculture is merely a shrink-wrapped product of The Sixties??, then you need to read this book.” —Peter Richardson, author of No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead

"Curtis White’s writing cracked me open like an egg, and challenged me to look beyond the parameters of my own sense of what cultural resistance really is. If you think you’re a rebel, read this book, and think again. Read this important book and cleanse your filter. Open a window and fall through the floor. Smile with that other eye. Be impertinent."—William Rivers Pitt, author of House of Ill Repute
