The 1950s' undeniable prosperity has become synonymous with
conservatism, and inertia seen as its hallmark. This book offers a
fresh and challenging interpretation of the 1950s in Australia.
Nicholas Brown presents the decade as a time of great change,
brought about by affluence. Society became increasingly complex,
mass consumption reached new heights and Australia's role in the
world and the region was re-cast. The book looks at the ways in
which those overseeing society responded to these post-war changes;
in short, how they governed prosperity. A history of ideas as well
as cultural, intellectual and institutional history, Governing
Prosperity is a major reassessment of the 1950s. It will be
particularly important for its analysis of the significance of the
decade in the development of Australian society.

In Autonomy Nicholas Brown theorizes the historical and theoretical
argument for art's autonomy from its acknowledged character as a
commodity. Refusing the position that the distinction between art
and the commodity has collapsed, Brown demonstrates how art can, in
confronting its material determinations, suspend the logic of
capital by demanding interpretive attention. He applies his
readings of Marx, Hegel, Adorno, and Jameson to a range of
literature, photography, music, television, and sculpture, from
Cindy Sherman's photography and the novels of Ben Lerner and
Jennifer Egan to The Wire and the music of the White Stripes. He
demonstrates that through their attention and commitment to form,
such artists turn aside the determination posed by the demand of
the market, thereby defeating the foreclosure of meaning entailed
in commodification. In so doing, he offers a new theory of art that
prompts a rethinking of the relationship between art, critical
theory, and capitalism.
