Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. From the publisher's blurb, Greil Marcus, author of Mystery Train, widely acclaimed as the best book ever written about America as seen through its music, began work on this new book out of a fascination with the Sex Pistols: that scandalous antimusical group, invented in London in 1975 and dead within two years, which sparked the emergence of the culture called punk. ?I am an antichrist!? shouted singer Johnny Rotten?where in the world of pop music did that come from? Looking for an answer, with a high sense of the drama of the journey, Marcus takes us down the dark paths of counterhistory, a route of blasphemy, adventure, and surprise. This is no mere search for cultural antecedents. Instead, what Marcus so brilliantly shows is that various kinds of angry, absolute demands?demands on society, art, and all the governing structures of everyday life?seem to be coded in phrases, images, and actions passed on invisibly, but inevitably, by people quite unaware of each other. Marcus lets us hear strange yet familiar voices: of such heretics as the Brethren of the Free Spirit in medieval Europe and the Ranters in seventeenth-century England; the dadaists in Zurich in 1916 and Berlin in 1918, wearing death masks, chanting glossolalia; one Michel Mourre, who in 1950 took over Easter Mass at Notre-Dame to proclaim the death of God; the Lettrist International and the Situationist International, small groups of Paris?based artists and writers surrounding Guy Debord, who produced blank-screen films, prophetic graffiti, and perhaps the most provocative social criticism of the 1950s and ?60s; the rioting students and workers of May ?68, scrawling cryptic slogans on city walls and bringing France to a halt; the Sex Pistols in London, recording the savage ?Anarchy in the U.K.? and ?God Save the Queen.? Although the Sex Pistols shape the beginning and the end of the story, Lipstick Traces is not a book about music; it is about a common voice, discovered and transmitted in many forms. Working from scores of previously unexamined and untranslated essays, manifestos, and filmscripts, from old photographs, dada sound poetry, punk songs, collages, and classic texts from Marx to Henri Lefebvre, Marcus takes us deep behind the acknowledged events of our era, into a hidden tradition of moments that would seem imaginary except for the fact that they are real: a tradition of shared utopias, solitary refusals, impossible demands, and unexplained disappearances. Written with grace and force, humor and an insistent sense of tragedy and danger, Lipstick Traces tells a story as disruptive and compelling as the century itself."

Paris, Éditions Allia, 1998 ; in-8, 549 pp., broché, couverture imprimée rempliée. Édition originale française. "D?un projet ambitieux, celui d?écrire l?histoire secrète du XXe siècle, Greil Marcus a donné naissance à une encyclopédie de la subversion et de la révolte, un livre inclassable où l?on croise les Sex Pistols, Guy Debord, le mouvement Dada ou encore les gnostiques du Moyen Âge. Car selon son auteur, un fil invisible relierait tous les mouvements artistiques, littéraires et musicaux dont le point commun serait le refus des conventions.Cet ouvrage décrit le cheminement d?une histoire souterraine, force motrice des productions culturelles les plus novatrices et radicales. Un ouvrage érudit, fouillé, stimulant et complètement fou, où se dessine au fil des pages une généalogie des révoltés. Intellectuel pop devenu historien des marges et des avant-gardes, Greil Marcus signe ici un livre unique en son genre, aujourd?hui devenu un classique dans les rayons des essais tant historiques que sociaux, musicaux et artistiques" (présentation de l'éditeur). Bon exemplaire. 1998.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Greil Marcus begann seine Arbeit an »Lipstick Traces« aus Begeisterung für die Sex Pistols: jener Skandal-Band, die 1975 als radikales Statement erfunden wurde. »Ich bin ein Antichrist!«, schrie Johnny Rotten - wie kam eine solche Selbstbezichtigung in die Welt des Pops Auf der Suche nach Antworten führt Marcus auf die dunklen Pfade der Gegengeschichte, eine Route voller Gotteslästerungen, Abenteuer und Überraschungen. Und obwohl die Sex Pistols hier den Anfang und das Ende markieren, ist »Lipstick Traces« kein Buch über Punk. Es geht vielmehr um ein Aufbegehren, das sich in den unterschiedlichsten Momenten in der Geschichte beobachten lässt: Marcus erzählt u. a. von den Häretikern des Mittelalters, von den Dadaisten, die Totenmasken trugen und in Zungen sprachen; von einem Jugendlichen, der 1950 die Ostermesse in Notre-Dame stürmte, um den Tod Gottes zu verkünden, von den Situationisten, die prophetische Graffiti und die provokanteste Gesellschaftskritik der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre produzierten; von den Student:innen und Arbeiter:innen im Mai 1968, die kryptische Parolen auf die Stadtmauern kritzelten und Frankreich zum Stillstand brachten, und natürlich von den Sex Pistols, die nicht weniger als »Anarchy in the UK« forderten. Marcus arbeitet mit selten zitierten Aufsätzen, Manifesten und Filmen, mit Fotos, Dada-Gedichten, Punk-Songs und Klassikern von Marx bis Adorno und führt in eine verborgene Tradition ein, die fiktiv erscheinen würde, wenn sie nicht eine gemeinsame Haltung zur Welt einen würde: Utopie, Ablehnung, Aufbegehren . und plötzliches Verschwinden, wie die Spuren von Lippenstift auf einer Zigarette . 493 pp. Deutsch.
