A study of cultural politicisation and social change, examining the relationship between political action, collective imagery and cultural movements through the upheavals of late-1960s France.

Alfred Willener draws on student activism, Dada, Surrealism, free jazz and the avant-garde to explore how political movements construct images of society and challenge established cultural forms.
