«¿Qué fue lo hipster?» is the sociological essay by Mark Greif and other authors, published by Ediciones Alpha Decay in paperback (219 pages, in Spanish).
The book stems from a debate at the New School in New York to analyse the hipster as a subculture born from neoliberalism in the late nineties. The essays dissect its identity markers —aesthetics, tastes, nihilism— and its ambiguous relationship with rebellion and the ruling class, a tribe that takes nothing seriously except itself.
First edition, published in May 2011. Volume 15 of the Héroes Modernos collection. Translated from English by Jon Bilbao Lopategui; original title: «What Was the Hipster?».
For readers interested in sociology, cultural criticism and the analysis of contemporary urban tribes.
