This essay offers a genealogy of lifestyle, a category widely used in the 1960s to mark dissident kinship networks and sexual practices: single parenting, bisexuality, gender nonconformity, polyamory, cohabitation, and communal living, among many others. I argue that the concept of lifestyle emerged in a desire among white mid-twentieth-century suburbanites for the social and sexual worlds that preceded rapid suburbanization, those most visible in the immigrant industrial metropolis at its peak in the decades immediately before the United States drastically restricted immigration in 1924. Even at the apex of suburbanization in the 1960s, many people refused to comply with the demand for suburban domesticity, staying in the city, joining countercultural groups, or adopting what came to be called alternative lifestyles. But in that act of dissent, urban planners, real estate developers, and marketing experts saw an opportunity and began to sell urban lifestyle landscapes that they claimed would reproduce the sexual heterogeneity of the early twentieth-century industrial metropolis. By the 1980s, as ever more people lived outside the nuclear family, a growing lifestyle market drove up prices in central cities that amplified the class and race exclusions that the social movements of the 1960s contested. This article is therefore both a critical and a recuperative reading of lifestyle, one that uses the category to show how dissident sexualities can be both the harbinger of the niche-marketed gentrified city and an incitement to new ways of living and loving that advance the pursuit of economic justice.

In the short story ‘Oldfashioned’, McGahern repeats many of the tropes found in twentieth-century literary works about the Anglo-Irish. What makes this story unique, however, is that McGahern’s treatment of the Anglo-Irish is closer to that of writers from Anglo-Irish Anglican backgrounds than it is to writers from his own Catholic Nationalist background. Whereas twentieth-century Catholic Nationalist writers often subtly mock the Anglo-Irish for being out-of-touch, snobbish, and psychologically compromised by their ‘Britishness’, McGahern suggests that Anglo-Irish Anglicans are often gracious, aesthetically-minded, intellectual, and less gossipy and venally materialistic than Irish Catholics. This chapter argues that, in this, McGahern demonstrates openness to all traditions on the island and a freedom from the narrow-gauge republican perspective common to his father’s generation.

In this article Barbara Walker examines the theme of (samo)zhertvovanie in the Moscow human rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Some participants in that movement have expressed emotional satisfaction in the belief that they were motivated by the desire for self-giving; but that belief has sometimes been received with doubt. Walker uncovers the social phenomenon of a charity movement for the benefit of political prisoners that, she argues, lies near the social and emotional heart of the human rights movement. An important theme of the charity movement, whether real or constructed, is emotional purification of a sense of personal and social contamination stemming from participation in what some experienced as corruption in Soviet state and society. This article draws on ideas of spiritual atonement and salvation through altruism as explanatory cultural factors in this phenomenon.

Рассказ В.А. Солоухина «Двадцать пять на двадцать пять» (1974) становится эмпирическим материалом для рассмотрения ситуации, связанной со сменой социокультурных парадигм в жизни села Центральной России. Автор использует в тексте рефлексивное переплетение хронологических пластов, посредством которого показан процесс постепенной утраты живых народных традиций как в городе, так и на селе. Личностно окрашенные воспоминания об особенностях проведения народных праздников в русской деревне первой половины ХХ в. соотносятся с наблюдениями за реалиями 1960-1970-х годов. Действие рассказа происходит в селе Преображенское в его престольный праздник Преображения. Это название неоднократно повторяется в рассматриваемом тексте, помогая спроецировать модель сопоставления старого и нового общества. В рассказе В.А. Солоухина звучит мотив преображения, трансформации, изменения современной ему действительности. Герой текста горожанин в первом поколении Андрей Воронов испытывает ностальгию по народным обычаям, типичным для первой половины ХХ в. Предметным воплощением прежней деревенской народной культуры является гармонь. В довоенной традиции этот инструмент создавал и менял обстановку, задавал настроение, пользовался большим уважением на селе. Позднее на фоне урбанизации общества, распространения массовой культуры и доминирования принципов потребления, гармонь теряет свою былую привлекательность и воспринимается молодежью как предмет архаики. В.А. Солоухин совмещает в своем рассказе черты художественного текста и этнографического очерка. Писатель проводит экскурс в мир праздничных народных традиций, вспоминает о важной роли гармони и гармониста в жизни русского села. Затем на художественном материале показывает преображение известной ему с детства действительности. V. A. Soloukhin's short story "Twenty five by twenty five" (1974) becomes an empirical material for the consideration of the situation associated with the change of socio-cultural paradigms in rural life in Central Russia. The author uses in the text a reflexive interweaving of chronological layers, through which the process of gradual loss of living folk traditions both in the city and in the countryside is shown. Personal memories of the peculiarities of folk festivals in the Russian village of the first half of the twentieth century correlate with observations of the realities of the 1960s and 1970s. The story takes place in the village of Preobrazhenskoye on its patronal feast of the Transfiguration. This name is repeated in the text under consideration, helping to project a model of comparison of old and new society. In V. A. Soloukhin's story the motive of transformation, of changes of the reality manifests itself. The hero of the text, a citizen in the first generation, Andrei Voronov, is nostalgic for folk customs typical of the first half of the twentieth century. The subject embodiment of the former village folk culture is the garmon (the Russian button accordion). In the pre-war tradition, this instrument created and changed the situation, set the mood, enjoyed great respect in the countryside. Later, against the background of the urbanization of society, the spread of mass culture and the dominance of the principles of consumption, the garmonloses its former appeal and is perceived by young people as an archaic object. V. A. Soloukhin combines the features of a literary text and an ethnographic essay in his story. The writer makes an excursion into the world of festive folk traditions, recalls the important role of the garmon and its player in the life of the Russian village. Then, on the artistic material, he shows the transformation of the reality known to him since childhood.

This article aims to describe the development of contemporary Arabic literary genre called Qişşah Qaşīrah Jiddan (QQJ), by revealing its characteristics, its components, and the factors that influence its emergence. This research fills the gap in the study of QQJ, in terms of both theory and application, despite the fact that it has existed among classic genres. To fulfill its objectives, this research uses descriptive analysis by examining the production of the literary works, its existence, its role and social reality. To explore the connection between QQJ and the social reality that surrounds it, this research applies qualitative methods by studying the documents that focus on contextual analysis of written materials. Based on the analysis, this study found that the emergence of the QQJ genre in the repertoire of contemporary Arabic literature is a response to the demands and needs of this fast-paced technological era which requires something practical and pragmatic. Though this narrative genre stems from short story, it is neither an advancement of a short story, nor the development of ts branches or the incarnation of the old Arabic literary genre. Instead, it is an autonomous genre that adopts a variety of things in its development, especially aspects underlying postmodernity such as being practical, dynamic, and digital.
