Texts capturing the atmosphere of intellectual milieus
I‘m searching for texts that capture the atmosphere and mood within a specific intellectual/artistic milieu, while also tracing the theoretical trajectories of the thinkers that were associated with it.
So far these are the ones I found:
- The Walter Benjamin biography by Eiland
- Foucault biography by Eribon
- The years of theory by Jameson
- The summer of theory by Philipp Felsch
- Lacan biography by Roudinesco
(only available in german):
- Schule des Südens by Onur Erdur
- Sexbeat by Diederichsen
Please feel free to share some more, I would appreciate every recommendation!
