Abstract

Many of the ideas and political aims that social movements of the 1970s and 1980s once articulated and that were considered revolutionary are today institutionalized and part of the political culture as a matter of course. Some blossoms from the colourful bouquet of projects, grown and pampered in the alternative milieu, became widely accepted norms of European culture and everyday life such as health-food shops, flat-sharing communities or even the alternative republic of Christiania in Copenhagen. However, the huge acceptance that these movements and cultural products found in the long run was all but predictable. Today we can identify them as part of a major societal change from the ‘classical’ modernity shaped by industrial production on the one hand, and the so-called ‘post-industrial’ or ‘second’ modernity, more and more determined by the service sector, on the other.
