Jon Savage, periodista experto en subculturas juveniles y autor del galardonado England's Dreaming: Sex Pistols y el Punk Rock, explora en Teenage. La invencion de la juventud 1875-1945 la prehistoria oculta del fenomeno que transformo la sociedad contemporanea, la emergencia de la juventud como una etapa diferenciada entre la ninez y el mundo adulto. Es este un libro monumental, un trabajo titanico de investigacion que arranca en 1875 y termina en 1945, en el momento en que el termino teenage –o sus traducciones– se convierte en parte integral de la cultura popular, y en el que Savage ha sumado informacion de multiples y muy variadas fuentes: literatura cientifica y popular, periodicos, publicidad, musica, cine, moda, politica, arte… Teenage. La invencion de la juventud 1875-1945escruta durante siete decadas el devenir de la juventud y sus muchas y divergentes direcciones, y por sus paginas deambulan bandas de gamberros juveniles, boy scouts y romanticos que buscaban la vuelta a la naturaleza, carne de canon en la Gran Guerra, las flappers de los locos anos veinte y su pasion por el jazz, los rebeldes del swing alemanes o la vision militarista de las Juventudes Hitlerianas. Savage hace un retrato que cruza generaciones y clases sociales, analizando sus contextos y sus experiencias, sus expectativas y sus suenos, sus exitos y sus fracasos. Pero, ademas de los intensos vectores de creatividad y vitalidad, pero tambien de destruccion y alienacion, que tensan a esta juventud, Savage no pierde de vista las presiones del mundo adulto para moldear y orientar estos vectores, sea hacia un consumismo rampante sea como soldados para nuevas guerras. Las paginas deTeenage. La invencion de la juventud 1875-1945 estan llenas de musica, de jazz y ragtime y swing, y sus historias se suceden rapidas y llenas de pasion, comicas o dolorosas, pero siempre conmovedoras. Las experiencias personales se anudan con el analisis global de un tiempo cuajado de conflictos, tejiendo un fresco caleidoscopico de cultura popular e historia social. Una exuberante cronica del nacimiento de la juventud.
