- Contents
- For more than four decades, the Cold War division of the world into two opposing blocks, dominated international politics and its repercussions continue to influence the world even today. The Cold War has not only affected politics, it also fundamentally shaped culture, national identity and mentalities in the United States and elsewhere. From gender norms and family relations, views on technology and development, consumer goods, fashion and design, to the limits and possibilities of political activity and protest, the ideologies of the Cold War permeated every aspect of society and culture. At the same time U.S. efforts of ‘cultural diplomacy’ in the battle for the ‘minds and hearts’ of people
worldwide transmitted ‘American culture’ with varying degrees of force throughout the world. In this seminar we will study key aspects of U.S. culture during the Cold War, its transnational impact and reflect on how the legacies of the Cold War still shape the world today.
