| Inhalt | This course is intended as a reflection back onto the year 1970, half a century ago (double the period that I have been teaching in Basel). This is intended as a close reading of that exact year. We will start with the film "Midnight Cowboy" (1969) and consider its possible counterpoint "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (1971) both John Schlesinger films that straddle 1970 and address sexual politics, identity and discomfort. Given this frame of reflection, we will look at other specific 1970 cultural artefacts to read from our position today, taking those residues of 1970 as traces of a structure of feeling, a way to understand that specific location of class, politics, culture. 1970 saw events such as the 3rd Isle of Wight festival; Black Sabbath's first album; a second edition of the Whole Earth Catalogue; the first Gay Pride demonstration in London; the loss of a husband's right to sue for damages in adultery with his wife; the beginnings of the end of consensus politics in the UK...
