Abstract
Counterculture is a major cultural and political movement that affected all major spheres of the American mainstream, and this paper deals with its feminist implications. Young hippies, or counterculturers, sprung out of the 1950s mainstream society, rejecting the societal roles and lifestyles of their parents, and reviving egalitarian values and redefining the established gender roles. Whilst many would argue feminism of the 1960s bypassed Counterculture, and would only associate it with the New Left, I would argue feminism was an integral part of the hippie society. Along with the sexual revolution, Counterculture redefined the sexual roles of women, and provided young women with a new alternate lifestyle. This research aims to portray how the Counterculture influenced feminism, and vice versa, and to display the shift in the paradigm that occurred in the 1960s, with regards to women and how they are represented in society and the mainstream. Counterculture feminism is explored through 3 distinctly feminist literary works, The Group, The Bell Jar, and I’m With the Band. Whilst the previous two deal with ‘the problem with no name’ that heavily affected women in pre-Counterculture mainstream society, I’m With the Band portrays a uniquely countercultural lifestyle of a groupie that embraced her own autonomy and sexuality.
Abstract (croatian)
Kontrakultura je značajan kulturni i politički pokret koji je utjecao na sve veće sfere Američkog mainstreama, a ovaj se rad bavi njegovim feminističkim implikacijama. Mladi hipiji izašli su iz društva 1950-ih, odbijajući društvene uloge i živote svojih roditelja, oživjeli su egalitarne vrijednosti te redefinirali ustaljene rodne uloge društva. Iako mnogi tvrde da je feminizam 1960-ih zaobišao kontrakulturu, te ga asociraju samo sa novom ljevicom, tvrdim da je feminizam sastavni dio hipi društva. Uz seksualnu revoluciju, kontrakultura je redefinirala seksualnu ulogu žena i pružila im alternativan način života. Cilj ovog rada je izložiti kako je kontrakultura utjecala na feminizam, i obratno, te prikazati promjenu u paradigmi koja se dogodila 1960-ih kod pozicije žena u društvu i načina na koji su one prikazivane. Feminizam kontrakulture istražujem kroz 3 inherentno feministička književna djela, The Group, The Bell Jar i I'm With the Band. Prva dva se dotiču 'problema bez imena' koji je uvelike utjecao na žene u društvu prije kontrakulture, dok I'm With the Band ilustrira jedinstveno kontrakulturalan način života 'groupie' djevojke koja je objeručke prihvatila svoju autonomiju i seksualnost.
