This thesis describes the underground press of the sixties in the United States, from the beginning of the movement in mid-decade to its apparent demise in the early seventies. I use articles from the underground papers to illustrate the nature of the underground press and apply literary and socio-cultural theories and thinking to the phenomenon in order to chart and analyze its rapid development and speedy disappearance early in the seventies. I focus on the journalistic idealism represented by the papers. By journalistic idealism, I mean the belief that society could be improved if its ills were exposed by journalism conducted in the public interest--the founding faith of the daily press in America. In this sense the underground papers recalled the earlier ideals of a free press in a democratic society. I conclude that the journalistic idealism of the sixties was contained and perverted, but not destroyed. The deeper questions posed here, however, concern the nature of hegemony and of social movements for change and their particular problems with respect to the status quo and its official authorities. The theoretical justification for treating newswriting (generally) as a form of literature (rather than a form of "communications"), is to reveal some of the codes it relies upon to convey meaning (rather than simply information).

The purpose of the thesis is to reflect upon the female nude imagery in the counterculture publication London Oz 1967 - 1968, with the retrospective understanding that the alienation involved had a profoundly detrimental effect on my art practice at the time. My aim is to interrogate the past with a view to informing creatively my present work. My thesis is a body of paintings accompanied by an exegesis and a catalogue, from the shed to the dining room and back, 2002, as a work in progress of the MVA. / Thesis (MVisualArts)--University of South Australia, 2005.

The sources listed for this research including the following: the column named Underground (1969-1971), published in the weekly newspaper O Pasquim, the newspaper Flor do Mal (1971); and the Brazilian version of Rolling Stone magazine (1972-1973); as well as hundreds of publications that appeared during that period. Through the study of these sources, Brazilian counterculture was mapped and characterized, in a period when the military regime was increasing its power, cornering any oppositional manifestation to the ruling system. Ironically, this situation consisted of a very fertile period for the proliferation of the alternative press. By means of art and humor this press was giving surprising answers to that living moment, creating the discursive formation of the so-called new tropical consciousness. A great part of these alternative productions, specifically the underground ones, remained anonymous, being divulged only in restricted circles. However, even though it was a work consumed mainly by minorities coming from the middle class, these practices were linked to the appearance of a new youth consciousness; international in its feature, resulting in the hippie utopia that lived in many places around the planet.
