ACFM Trip 43: Cool
ACFM
The Evolution of Coolness and its Social Impact
The chapter explores the historical origins of cool as a form of resistance and differentiation from mass culture, linking it to concepts like stoicism, European aristocratic reserve, and West African ideals of composure. It delves into how coolness has evolved over time, from the post-Fordism era to the modern city environment, discussing its influences on emotions, behavior, and urban culture. The narrative also examines the intersection of coolness with capitalism, management theory, counterculture movements, and the reinvention of capitalism to appeal to younger generations disinterested in traditional Fordism.
