From Pulpstyle to Innerspace: The Stylistics of American New Wave

I need to start off by noting that this article is the most usefull description of 1970's Hollywood I have found so far. It begins by giving the time period a new name that I had not yet come across in my research: American New Wave. The 70's were thus named this because, "it was characterized by an emphasis on style and experimentation." I felt like i needed to include the following quote verbatum because it says exactly what the author mean with the word style:
"Style--it implies a degree of self-consciousness which wasn't there before, an element of outrageous showmanship, defiance, detachment, and just a touch of narcissism. Style--it is the heart of the science fiction controversy in the sixties."
Obviously this "style" was prominent in 60's and 70's movies. Apparently the term "New Wave" more specifically refers to these science fiction movies between 1963 and 1975 because these movies define the era. The author speaks of a new use of "stylistic devices" in movies that reacted against movies of the classical era. The writers used a large amount of, "psycologically salient adverbs" and, "excessive anaphora." The writers also used highly "kinky" and "inapropriate" images to shock the audiences.
All of this aspects of "New Wave" literature and movies are what set it apart from the classical period. Writers were looking for an edge, something shocking to take their work to the next level. They wanted their audiences to be taken aback by the things they read and have to stop and think. I think this is highly thematic for late 60's and early 70's film.
