  • Materializing the “Eternal French Connexion”
    Introduction: Materializing the “Eternal French Connexion” Véronique Lane THE IMAGES HAVE BEEN FAMILIAR around the world for more than fifty years: a shy Jack Kerouac standing beside road-travelling companion Neal Cassady; Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky sitting back to back on a bench in Paris, smiling brightly; William Burroughs in trench coat and fedora outstaring the camera with sinister poker face. Sustained by innumerable biographies, exhibitions, and film adaptations, such iconic images of the first major Beat writers as travellers and border-crossers remain indelible in the popular imagination, persisting as nostalgic snapshots of countercultural rebels from a black-and-white past when writers had the power to move an entire generation. The enduring popularity of the Beats as photogenic iconoclasts has created a wider public interest than in perhaps any other area of literature. But it also deterred academic scholarship for decades and has led to a mismatch between the shallow, seductive imagery of hip Americana in mass circulation and the picture now constructed in the critical field. Over the past two decades, Beat Studies has come of age: the days of fanzines, hagiography, sociology, and broad cultural history, when discussion focused largely on jazz or drugs and a trilogy of famous writers and their holy texts – Ginsberg’s “Howl” (1956), Kerouac’s On the Road (1957), Burroughs’ Naked Lunch (1959) – are long gone. Beat Studies today is far broader and richer, and has decentered itself as it has expanded: sensitized to issues of race, gender, sexuality, and social justice, while attentive to work in multiple media, it now produces book-length studies ranging from Beat religion and philosophy to Beat cinema and 2 theatre.

Selected Glossary of Hindi and Sanskrit Words 128 Appendix II. Descriptions of Prominent Hindu Deities 130 Klausner iii Preface I am grateful for the opportunity to have been able to live in Banaras for researching and writing this paper. It has provided me an invaluable look at the living India that Ginsberg writes about, and enabled me to see many facets that would otherwise have been impossible to discover. In the spirit of research and my deep passion for the subject, I braved temperatures nearing 50º Celsius. Not weather particularly conducive to thesis-writing, but what I was able to discover and experience empowers me to do it again in a heartbeat. Since the first draft, I contracted a mosquito-borne tropical illness called Dengue Fever, for which there is no vaccine. I left India for a season to recover, and returned to complete this study. The universe guided me to some amazing mentors, including Anand Prabhu Barat at the literature department of Banaras Hindu University, who specializes in the Eastern spiritual themes of the Beat Generation. She and Ginsberg had corresponded, and he sent her several works including Allen Ginsberg: Collected Works, 1947 – 1980.

  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.

  • The Impact of Allen Ginsberg's Howl on American Counterculture
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Croatian Digital Thesis Repository UNIVERSITY OF RIJEKA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Vlatka Makovec The Impact of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl on American Counterculture Representatives: Bob Dylan and Patti Smith Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the M.A.in English Language and Literature and Italian language and literature at the University of Rijeka Supervisor: Sintija Čuljat, PhD Co-supervisor: Carlo Martinez, PhD Rijeka, July 2017 ABSTRACT This thesis sets out to explore the influence exerted by Allen Ginsberg’s poem Howl on the poetics of Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. In particular, it will elaborate how some elements of Howl, be it the form or the theme, can be found in lyrics of Bob Dylan’s and Patti Smith’s songs. Along with Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and William Seward Burroughs’ Naked Lunch, Ginsberg’s poem is considered as one of the seminal texts of the Beat generation. Their works exemplify the same traits, such as the rejection of the standard narrative values and materialism, explicit descriptions of the human condition, the pursuit of happiness and peace through the use of drugs, sexual liberation and the study of Eastern religions. All the aforementioned works were clearly ahead of their time which got them labeled as inappropriate. Moreover, after their publications, Naked Lunch and Howl had to stand trials because they were deemed obscene. Like most of the works written by the beat writers, with its descriptions Howl was pushing the boundaries of freedom of expression and paved the path to its successors who continued to explore the themes elaborated in Howl.

I focus on four major Beat authors: William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Gregory Corso. Through a close reading of their work, I identify the major religious and spiritual attitudes that shape their texts. All four authors’ religious and spiritual beliefs form a challenge to the Modern Western worldview of rationality, embracing systems of belief which allow for experiences that cannot be empirically explained.
