CORE 302 - Youth Culture and Identity Formation in Post-war America

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

M. Coyle This course examines the ways in which, in the United States, identity formation is intricately caught up in patterns of consumption. "Youth culture" only emerged as such in the decade following the Second World War, a time when wartime technologies changed both leisure patterns and the market forces that shaped and responded to them. The course considers how and why this emergence took the forms it did and reflects upon the ethical consequences of the isolation of this unprecedented "youth market.
