Overview
- Examines the hipster in terms of fundamental debates about aesthetics and ethics in contemporary art and visual culture
- Investigates the unique paradoxes of the term “hipster”, which is at once an aesthetic stereotype and an ideological mode of deflection
- Historicises the hipster in order to grapple with issues of cultural appropriation, identity politics, aesthetic discernment and critical practice, drawing from the legacies of the flâneur, the avant-garde, and the beatnik to illuminate the cultural changes effected by global capitalism and digital technologies
