Thesis Title:

Counterculture Dystopia:
A Comparative Study of the Rajneesh-Osho Movement and the Counterculture

An investigation of the controversial Rajneesh-Osho movement, this project examines a postmodern spiritual movement with the international counterculture of the 1960s. By looking at "The Look," "The People," and "The Style," this thesis poses that the Rajneesh-Osho movement only appears to be a counterculture. As a movement prominent in the 1980s, the movement had indeed co-opted the counterculture visuals and sensibility.
