Abstract

A study of the invention and social and cultural construction of a fiber - Lycra - and the cohort it was invented for, the Babyboomers born between 1946-1965. It shows the interrelation of popular culture and big business, and the dynamic processes of global capitalism, and the cultural phenomenon of the New Midlife.
