Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique. -

1 Before London Started Swinging: Representing the British Beatniks David Buckingham This Essay Is Part of a Larger Project
Before London started swinging: representing the British beatniks David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In his autobiography, Personal Copy, the journalist and broadcaster Ray Gosling describes a feeling of imminent change that was shared by many young people at the very end of the 1950s: There was just this feeling… that we were important, that something was going to happen. How, and in what direction, we didn’t know. And we didn’t much care. It was a very, very, very odd feeling, but we felt it. Gosling himself came from a frugal working-class background in the provincial English city of Northampton. In 1959, he dropped out of university and set up a youth centre in Leicester that was run autonomously by a committee of young people. The academic Richard Hoggart – the author of The Uses of Literacy, who was soon to become the founding director of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at Birmingham University – was on his management committee. Although Gosling’s youth centre collapsed, he developed the argument for youth-led welfare provision in a pamphlet for the Fabian Society; and he went on to build a career as a writer and public speaker, offering an insider’s perspective on the emerging youth culture of the time. He became associated with the New Left, and began to mix in the more cosmopolitan culture of London’s coffee bars, making friends with Stuart Hall (then the editor of the New Left Review) and the novelist Colin MacInnes, whom he described as his ‘mentor’. -

Beatnik Fashion
Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild Volume 12, Number 5 September-October 2014 Beatnik Fashion Not every member of the Beat Generation wore a beret BY KALI PAPPAS s any fan of the Beat Generation writers will tell The Beatnik. When most people hear the word “beatnik,” you, there’s a chasmic difference between the they probably imagine bored-looking bohemian gals in A beret-wearing, bongo-beating “beatnik” of berets and guys in turtlenecks and weird little goatees. These popular imagination and the people who created stereotypes are rooted in truth, but like the term “beatnik” and lived the Beat philosophy in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. In itself, they’re not really very representative of the movement defined by the “Beat Generation” nor the people inspired by its counterculture philosophy. The reality is that the intellectuals, artists, and anti- bourgeois iconoclasts of mid-twentieth century America dressed a lot like everyone else. Legendary San Fig. 1: Spoofing beatnik stereotypes Fig. 2: Jack Kerouac Francisco columnist Herb Caen created the anticipation of our “On the Road” event in November, I’ve term “beatnik” in 1958, a portmanteau of “beat” and compiled a short list of looks - for both men and women - that “Sputnik” (as in the Soviet satellite) that - in conjunction combine standard 1950s fashions with enough bohemian with a short report about freeloading hep cats helping sensibility to help you fit in without looking like a stereotype themselves to booze at a magazine party - was meant to (unless you really want to). poke fun at common perceptions of the counterculture. -
The British Underground Press, 1965-1974: the London Provincial Relationship, and Representations of the Urban and the Rural
THE BRITISH UNDERGROUND PRESS, 1965-1974: THE LONDON PROVINCIAL RELATIONSHIP, AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE URBAN AND THE RURAL. Rich�d Deakin r Presented as part of the requirement forthe award of the MA Degree in Cultural, Literary, andHistorical Studies within the Postgraduate Modular Scheme at Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education June 1999 11 DECLARATIONS This.Dissertation is the product of my own work and is. not the result of anything done in collaboration. I agreethat this. Dissertationmay be available forreference and photocopying,. at the discretion of the College. Richard Deakin 111 ABSTRACT Whateverperspective one takes, contradictions in the relationship between the capital and the provinces have always been evident to some extent, and the British undergroundpress of the late 1960s and early 1970s is no exception. The introductoryfirst chapter will definethe meaning of the term 'underground' in this context, and outline some of thesources used and the methodologies employed. Chapter Two will show how the British underground press developed froman alternative coterie of writers, poets, and artists - often sympathisers of the Campaign forNuclear Disarmament movement. It will also show how having developed from roots that were arguably provincial the undergroundadopted London as its base. The third chapter will take a more detailed look at the background of some London and provincial underground publications andwill attempt to see what extent the London undergroundpress portrayed the provinces, and vice-versa. In Chapter Four actual aspects of lifein urbanand rural settings, such as communes, squats, and pop festivals,will be examined in relation to the adoption of these lifestylesby the wider counterculture and how they were adapted to particular environments as part of an envisioned alternativesociety. -

Writers such as Diane di Prima, Hettie Jones, Joanne Kyger, Joyce Johnson, Bonnie Bremser, and Janine Pommy Vega were part of the 1950s Beat literary culture and had social relationships with the more famous male Beat writers such as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. To differing degrees the women writers have also been influenced by the aesthetics of the male writers, and since the 1950s their work has been contextualised alongside the men's in literary magazines, anthologies and more recent academic studies. -
