Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The lead article in this issue of new formations is an examination of the brittle cultural logic of "cool." It traces "cool" in its movement from being a particular style of hedonistic disaffiliation, to its current status as the epitome of style itself. Briefly hijacked by new Labour, the concept of "cool" sits uncomfortably with the party's moralising civic rhetoric; its intrinsically amoral appeal may yet prove to be one of the grave-diggers of Tony Blair's punitive democracy.

Questions of style and consumption, politics and ethics are at the centre of this collection. The topics addressed include the invention of everyday life, the cultural phenomenology of skin, the art of smoking, "black" music and multiracial audiences, and nomadic ethics for minoritarian communities. Cool Moves also includes a new translation of Guy Hocquenghem's classic essay on gay politics: On Homo-sex, or Is Homosexuality A Curable Vice?
