Currently assembling my LitReview and looking for peer reviewed articles which could help inform my research. The paper itself is due the first week in December.
So any writing on that topic specifically (which there doesn't seem to be a lot of) or anything that speaks to some part of the topic would be very much appreciated.
I intend to pull a lot of pieces together to set the scene such as post WW II American history, the evolution of Pop Culture and counterculture into and through the 60s and 70s, what Camp is and how it's presented and received. Specifically I will be calling out 1972 when Pink Flamingos came out the same year that The Partridge Family, The Carol Burnett Show and The Sony and Cher Show were all performing different brands of camp. It looks like I'll be spending a lot of time focusing on Laugh-In and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
I've gone through Susan Sontag's "Notes on Camp" and am currently reading "After Aquarius Dawned : How the Revolutions of the Sixties Became the Popular Culture of the Seventies" by Judy Kutulas and any further suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!
