TY - GEN TY - GEN T1 - New Model Island : how to build a radical culture beyond the idea of England A1 - Niven, Alex, 1984- kirjoittaja LA - eng PP - London PB - Repeater YR - 2019 UL - https://kansalliskirjasto.finna.fi/Record/fikka.5575793 AB - In the early twenty-first century, 'Englishness' suddenly became a hot topic. A rash of art exhibitions, pop albums and coffee table books arrived on the scene, all desperate to recover England's lost national soul. But when we clear away the patriotic stereotypes, we begin to see the fundamental ways in which England does not -- and perhaps should not -- exist at all. In this provocative text combining polemic and memoir, Alex Niven argues that the map of the so-call British Isles should be torn apart completely as we look forward to a time of radical political reform. Ranging over poetry, pop music, civic history and utopian conjecture, Niven argues for a fully renovated design for the islands -- a fluid, dynamic version of regionalism preparing the way for a new 'dream archipelago'. -- Back cover.
