Beat generation writers dismantled mainstream America. They wrote under the influence of psychedelic drugs; they crossed and navigated multicultural boundaries and questioned the American dream; and they explored homosexuality, feminism and hyper-masculinity, redefining America's marital and familial codes.

Beat generation writers dismantled mainstream America. They wrote under the influence of psychedelic drugs; they crossed and navigated multicultural boundaries and questioned the American dream; and they explored homosexuality, feminism and hyper-masculinity, redefining America's marital and familial codes. Teaching such a history can be daunting, but film adaptations of Beat literature have proven to engage students. This book looks closely at the film adaptations of works by such authors as Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Gary Snyder, Carolyn Cassady, Amiri Baraka and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, as they relate to American history and literary studies.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Dr. Raj Chandarlapaty studied at the University of South Florida and taught literature, writing, and philosophy courses in the United States and Afghanistan for 17 years. In Kabul, Afghanistan, he was awarded the Most Promising Teacher award in his first year. Dr. Chandarlapaty has since authored four books, which include 'Psychedelic Modernism: Literature and Film,' 'Seeing The Beat Generation,' 'Re-Creating Paul Bowles, the Other, and the Imagination,' and 'The Beat Generation and Counterculture.' He is most interested in American and British authors who write in the fault lines between modernism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism. Dr. Chandarlapaty has published ten journal articles, including 'ARIEL,' 'The Mailer Review,' 'Storytelling, Self, and Society,' and 'The Journal of Urban Education.' With articles on Norman Mailer, Mohammed Mrabet, James Baldwin, and Allen Ginsberg, Chandarlapaty is an accomplished essayist who studies books and articles from the perspective of critical theory and unconscious literary formation. Not borne of any one period, Chandarlapaty chooses to call himself a modernist, and refers to humankind's incomplete formation of ideas and culture.
