But beneath the glittering disco globes, a fundamental shift in the culture, society and ideology that defined American life-one reflected and refracted in the era's mass media and popular arts-took place from 1970 to 1979. This class explores the '70s from the perspective of its cultural productions, paying particular attention to the critical intersections where the arts both influence and mediate the major historical events and intellectual currents of this decade.
