This book examines the cultural criticism led by New York
intellectuals from the 1960s onwards, considering the influence of
such critique on American collective memory and contemporary public
culture. With a focus on essays that appeared in Dissent
magazine-one of the most important journals of the New York
intellectuals-from the year of its launch in 1954 to its most
recent issue, as well as representative books on American culture
by Daniel Bell and Russell Jacoby, the author contends that
post-Sixties narratives constitute a special paradigm of cultural
criticism that seek radical possibilities for societal change in
the US, based on a use of the 1960s as an index for understanding
American cultural and political life. A study of the ways in which
narratives can move beyond story-telling to have interpretative and
ideological functions as a form of criticism, this book will appeal
to scholars of cultural studies and sociology, as well as those
working in the fields of linguistics and literary theory.
