- This is an extensive single-authored work of historiography and theoretical analysis over 95,000 words, combining rigorous archival research with an innovative interpretative approach to its subject: the economic, social and aesthetic dynamics of the 1960s New York underground scene. New empirical findings were unearthed through a sustained research process over 8 years with archival documents (original annotated scripts, photographs, home movies) unexplored in previous scholarship as they were held in private collections. The book advanced the notion of ‘foreplay’ as a new epistemological paradigm to critically address the relation between labour and leisure in contemporary capitalism from a materialist perspective.
