English

Subject field(s)
  • Social Movements
CONT

The hippie movement reached its height in the late 1960s, as evidenced by the July 7, 1967 issue of Time magazine, which had for its cover story: The Hippies: The Philosophy of a Subculture.

OBS

Though not a cohesive cultural movement with manifestos and leaders, some hippies expressed their desire for change with communal or nomadic lifestyles, by renouncing corporate influence, consumerism and the Vietnam War, by embracing aspects of non-Judeo-Christian religious cultures (including much Eastern philosophy), and with criticism of Western middle class values.

Domaine(s)
  • Mouvements sociaux
CONT

On peut affirmer que le mouvement hippie s'est formé à partir du rejet d'une certaine forme de vie sociale que les jeunes n'acceptaient pas. En effet, les adolescents de cette époque étaient bien conscients de faire partie d'une nouvelle génération révoltée contre la société et leurs parents, qui d'ailleurs n'appréciaient pas trop leurs goûts musicaux, leurs comportements ni leur look.

OBS

Pluriel : des hippies, des hippys.

OBS

hippies; hippys : Ces graphies, puisées des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, sont attestées dans le Petit Robert (2004).
