| Abstract
|
:
|
"This volume examines issues of taste, media and lifestyle from a historical perspective. The contributors seek to show how 'lifestyle' as a concept and as a set of practices has evolved over time, progressively over-writing 'tradition'. Focusing specifically on the 1900s to 1970s the volume provides empirical evidence on key debates in the field from a cross-national perspective between the UK and US. The case studies, including Good Housekeeping and Playboy, explore the continuities and discontinuities between the past and present to provide a better understanding about the representation of lifestyle and its relationship to the self. Analysis of how ideas about lifestyle have been mediated in particular times and places is also provided.
