'Counterculture' emerged as a term in the late 1960s and has been
re-deployed in more recent decades in relation to other forms of
cultural and socio-political phenomena. This volume provides an
essential new academic scrutiny of the concept of 'counterculture'
and a critical examination of the period and its heritage. Recent
developments in sociological theory complicate and problematise
theories developed in the 1960s, with digital technology, for
example, providing an impetus for new understandings of
counterculture. Music played a significant part in the way that the
counterculture authored space in relation to articulations of
community by providing a shared sense of collective identity. Not
least, the heady mixture of genres provided a
socio-cultural-political backdrop for distinctive musical practices
and innovations which, in relation to counterculture ideology,
provided a rich experiential setting in which different groups
defined their relationship both to the local and international
dimensions of the movement, so providing a sense of locality,
community and collective identity.
