’80s Remix: Global Culture Beyond the Three Worlds

The 1980s: a decade of capitalism, conservatism, and questionable fashion choices. But it was also a decade of unprecedented encounters between audiences and artifacts from across the globe, and of the commercialization of culture that inevitably resulted. ’80s Remix: Global Culture Beyond the Three Worlds brings together perspectives from history, political science, sociology, cultural studies, and gender and sexualities studies to explore this startlingly interconnected alternate history of the 1980s, as well as its impact on subsequent political and economic events.
