This book attempts to reclaim a revolutionary modernism against its absorption into the heritage industry and the aesthetics of the luxury flat. The chapters range from a study of industrial and brutalist aesthetics in Brittain, Russian Constructivism in architecture, the Sexpol of Wilhelm Reich in film and design, and the alienation effects of Brecht and Eisler. All arguing for a Modernism of everyday life, immersed in questions of socialism, sexual politics and technology.
