About: This talk will look at changes in taste in Britain in the 1960s and 70s and ask questions about how we attend to taste and to changes in taste. What significance should we give to the mundane world of furniture and cooking, of bedding and caf茅s? How do we judge the weight of things; assess their cultural gravity? 1962 saw the Sunday Timeslaunch its 鈥榗olour section鈥� – an event which is often seen as a significant moment in the production of lifestyle culture – and Len Deighton publish his novel The Ipcress File – with its cold war paranoia and class-war wisecracks. What happens when we allow such objects to percolate together?
