    Summary note
    This book champions the creative underground and expressions of difference through visionary avant-garde and resistant ideas. This is represented by a utopian literature, manifestos and lifestyles which challenge normality and attempt to reinvent society, as practiced for example, by radicals in bohemian enclaves or youth subcultures. It showcases a range of 'art' and participatory cultural practices that are examined sociopolitically and historically, employing theoretical ideas which highlight their contribution to aesthetic thinking, political ideology, and public discourse.
