<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">The seeds of the global counterculture sprouted in the 1960s, flourished into the 1970s and for some the counterculture continues to frame their daily lives. Its challenge to the functionalist culture
characterised by formal education, career, marriage and mortgage yielded a range of experiments, some failures and short-lived and others long-lasting and now almost mainstream. Whatever the outcome, the intent was not one possible future for one's life but
a future of possibilities, along with a commitment to social and environmental sustainability. The counterculture was, therefore, intensely biopolitical in the sense that it was and is a politics of life, one's own life and life on planet earth more generally.</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">The counterculture was also contested from the beginning. The "counter" has been absorbed into consumer culture and commodified with ease. The love of transgression often saw the politics of power-relations
overlooked. And despite being "counter", a relationship with the "mainstream" has always been necessary.</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">In the 1970s and 80s, the counterculture was alive in academic discussions, but recently it has been relatively dormant. This issue is designed to stimulate reflection and discussion of the counterculture
in Australia and beyond. Areas of investigation may include, but are not limited to:</font></div>
