Stasis Theory- Flower in the Gun
We define the photograph of the flowers in the gun as a protest strategy to promote peace. Backlash against the Vietnam War paved the way for anti-war protests in the United States. Protesters started putting flowers into the barrels of guns as a non-violent way to demonstrate in front of military personal and riot police. Flower in the gun was a new strategy and was coined by American beat writer Allen Ginsberg as "Flower Power". Flower power became a popular movement in the United States especially with the Hippies. Flower in the gun is a great example of a meaningful non-violent way of protest. Flowers represent love, peace and serenity, the main focuses of the anti-war movement. It presented the positives of the movement, while not acting in harmful ways. Flower power was implemented and ingratiated into the Hippie culture. Hippie clothing transformed into flowery vibrant colors to convey their message of peace and nature. The images of flowers contributed to the symbolism of the anti-war movement during the 1960s.

This is a great post and it is a very detailed list of non-violent protests against war. If possible I would add a sentence or two describing the effects of these campaigns (were they successful and how successful were they?)
ReplyDeleteYou elaborate a lot on the flowers itself and what they mean which is really good and beneficial, however I feel like you needed to connect that more to why it is important in the whole movement/protests. Overall I think it was very detailed and precise in what you wanted to get across but more connection to the protests itself would have made it even better!
ReplyDeleteI thought this post was very precise and very interesting. You explained what the Flower in the Gun is perfectly. I would have possibly made the post a tad bit more detailed to really expand upon the elements of the the stasis theory. The evaluation part of the stasis theory could have been touched a little bit more on. It was a good post overall though.
