摘要

本文探讨了二十世纪五六十年代英国咖啡吧的当代和学术视角,尤其关注现代青年史的主题。战后几十年间,英国的年轻人同时被描述为愤怒和冷漠、积极的麻烦制造者和被动的消费者。年轻人对闲暇时间的使用和滥用往往是这些矛盾类型的基础,咖啡吧尤其受到关注。咖啡消费在英国并不新鲜,但本文重点关注的是二战后人们对咖啡馆与无人监管的青少年社交、外国文化、英国文化的 "美国化 "以及 "社区 "的侵蚀之间联系的焦虑。对咖啡吧的深入研究表明,它们在当代关于年轻人的辩论中具有重要意义,同时也与战后对年轻人的最新历史分析有许多联系。

‘Temples Devoted to Cold Coffee and Hot Sex’: Coffee Bars and Youth Culture in Postwar Britain

This article explores contemporary and scholarly perspectives on coffee bars in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, with a particular focus on themes in the modern history of youth. In the immediate postwar decades, young people in Britain were described as simultaneously angry and apathetic, active troublemakers and passive consumers. Young people's use and abuse of leisure time often grounded these contradictory typologies, and coffee bars attracted particular concern. The consumption of coffee was not new in Britain, but this article focuses on heightened anxieties about the association of coffee bars with unsupervised teen sociability, foreign cultures, the ‘Americanization’ of British culture, and the erosion of ‘community’ after Second World War. A closer examination of coffee bars demonstrates both their significance in contemporary debates about young people and their many connections to recent historical analysis of youth in the postwar period.
