“…35 Similarly, ideas of sexual liberation spread among the younger generations. 36 These stressed the importance of love, self-realisation and authenticity in the face of external coercion. All this ultimately led to the defence of birth control, sexual intercourse, or cohabitation outside of marriage and divorce, simply because love and authenticity were what mattered above all else.…”

In the early 1970s, when the Franco dictatorship (1939–75) was coming to an end, some Catholic intellectuals began to defend people's right to end their failed marriages and seek happiness with a new partner. In so doing, they recognised that love was the primary purpose of marriage; if it was absent the union ceased to be valid. These intellectuals thus broke with a discourse that had until then been deep-seated in both Catholic theology and Francoist morals and laws. According to these, love was only a secondary end of marriage and the conjugal union was indissoluble, leaving people no choice but to tolerate it if it was an unhappy one.

“…85 This liberal climate even reached late-Francoist Spain. 86 The ways that this sexual revolution influenced Greece are not obvious. The rise in abortions (about 150,000 per year in the late 1960s, according to one estimate) shows that pre-marital and extra-marital sex were common.…”

This article explores the movie Τέλος εποχής (End of an Era) by Antonis Kokkinos (1994), a key film in the regeneration of Greek cinema in the mid-late 1990s. The film constitutes a form of public history construing and problematizing relations between the images and the historical past, exploring the dictatorship (1967–74) through the consumer-oriented values of the 1990s. By scrutinizing historical (dis)continuities (similarities, differences, and transformations in consumer politics and sexuality in particular) between the dictatorship and the 1990s, the article argues that, focusing on 1960s youth, End of an Era underplayed the dictatorship's authoritarianism and (re)defined politics through the availability (or not) of consumer choices, expressing the relaxed ideological climate of the 1990s.

“…This process began in northern Europe in the 1960s (Schildt and Siegfried 2006, 20-22) and later affected the European South. For example, in Spain, this process intensified in the 1970s (Kornetis 2015). The early crisis critique of lifestyle employed feminist arguments underlining the objectification of female bodies and presented lifestyle's success as unavoidable, with 1980s consumers being portrayed as if they could hardly have resisted lifestyle's pioneering visual dynamics.…”
