Beat Generation ('Aetas Prostrata') fuit grex scriptorum Americanorum qui, sub bellum mundiale secundum orientes, inter 1950 et 1959 prominentes facti sunt, cum rebus culturae quas ei inspiraverunt et rettulerunt. Rudimenta culturae prostratae fuerunt normae acceptae reiectae, scribendi genera novata, usus medicamentorum contra leges, e.g. LSD, sexualitates alternae, religio explorata, materialismus reiectus, et apertae condicionis humanae depictiones.[1]

Allen Ginsberg anno 1979.

Poema Howl Allen Ginsberg (1956) ac mythistoriae Naked Lunch Gulielmi S. Burroughs (1959) et On the Road Iacobi Kerouac (1957) sunt inter notissima litterarum prostratarum exempla.[2] Howl et Naked Lunch iudicia de obscenitate subierunt quae postremo ad publicationem in Civitatibus Foederatis liberatam adiuverunt.[3][4] Participes Aetatis Prostratae novo bohemianismo hedonistico innotuerunt, convenientiam evadentes ingenioque subitario faventes.

Primi scriptores Aetatis Prostratae Novi Eboraci coire solebant, sed circa 1955, personae maximi momenti (Burroughs excepto) una Franciscopoli fortuito habitabant, ubi in amicitiam receperunt artifices cum Renascentia Franciscopolis consociatos. Tum annis inter 1960 et 1969, proprietates motus prostrati extendentis ad motus hippie et contraculturae adiectae sunt.

Origo nominis

Iacobus Kerouac anno 1956. Imago a Thoma Palumbo facta.

Iacobus Kerouac locutionem Beat Generation introduxit anno 1948 ut perceptam culturam subterraneam describeret, quendam motum iuvenum contra conventiam, Novi Eboraci natum.[5] Cuius nomen ortum est cum Kerouac sermones cum scriptore Ioanne Clellon Holmes conferret. Licet autem per Kerouac Herbertum Huncke, hominem strenuum viarium, primum vocabulo beat ('prostratus') usum esse antea, dum colloquebantur. Nomen adiectivum beat vulgo intra Afroamericanos illius temporis 'defessus' vel etiam 'demolitus' significare poterat, et ex imagine beat to his socks ('demolitus ad pedalia') deductum erat,[6][7][8] sed Kerouac, imaginem vindicans, significationem mutavit ut connotationes upbeat ('surgentem'), beatific ('beatificam'), et on the beat ('in ictu') in musica comprehenderet.[9]

Loci magni momenti

Universitas Columbiae

recensere

Origines Aetatis Prostratae deduci possunt ab Universitate Columbiae et conventus Iacobi Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Luciani Carr, Hal Chase, et aliorum. Kerouac Columbiam stipendio pediludii frequentavit.[10] Quamquam prostrati usitate habentur antiacademicos,[11][12][13] multae ex eorum notionibus professoribus sicut Lionel Trilling et Marcus Van Doren respondebant. Carr et Ginsberg, socii eiusdem classis academicae, de necessitate disputaverunt Novi Visus (vocabulum quod ei ex Arthuro Rimbaud mutuati sunt), ad pugnandum quod eis apparuerunt conservativa et formalistica litteraria eorum magistrorum exemplaria.

Terra subterranea Quadrati Times

recensere

Burroughs, moribus scelestis studens, res surreptas et narcotica venumdare solebat. Se opiatibus mox tradidit. Suus dux inhonestorum (praecipue in Quadrato Times Novi Eboraci conditorum) fuit Herbertus Huncke, sons minor et medicamentis deditus. Prostrati ad Huncke attracti sunt, qui ipse ad ultimum scribere coepit, plenus persuasionis se vitalem mundi scientiam habere quibus ei, ob eorum educationes plerumque ex classi media, carebant.

Ginsberg tandem anno 1949 in custodiam datus est. Vigiles Ginsberg eum prehendere conati sunt cum autocinetum cum Huncke gubernaret, vehiculo rebus surreptis pleno quas Huncke vendere in animo habebat. Ginsberg effugiens concursum autocinetorum effecit et pede effugiebant, sed libellos criminantes in vehiculo reliquit. Ei data est optio causae insanitatis pro tribunali agendae, ne in carcerem coniceretur, et nonaginta dies in Bellevue Hospital coniectus est, ubi in Carolum Solomon incidit.[14]

Carolus Solomon fortasse fuit abnormis potius psychoticus. Fautor Antonini Artaud, moribus dementibus indulgebat, sicut acetaria pomorum terrestrium collegiato de Dadaismo lectori iacta. Solomon therapiam electroconvilsivam in Bellevue accepit; quod materia poematis "Howl" factum est, ei dicati. Solomon deinde nexus editorius factus est qui Junky, primam mythistoriam Burroughsianam anno 1953 edere instituit.[15]

Greenwich Village

recensere

Scriptores et artifices prostrati ad Greenwich Village Novi Eboraci annis 1950 exeuntibus propter mercedem vilem et vicana scaenae elementa migrabant. Carmina vulgaria, lectores, et acroases in Washington Square Park saepe fiebantur.[16] Allen Ginsberg magnas scaenae partes in Village egit, ut egit Burroughs, in 69 via Bedford habitans.[17] Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kerouac, et alii poetae multos oecos potorios frequentabant, inter quos erant San Remo Cafe (in 93 via MacDougal), Chumley's, et Minetta Tavern.[17] Jackson Pollock, Gulielmus de Kooning, Franciscus Kline, et alii expressionistae abstracti hospites et collaboratores prostratorum saepe erant.[18] Iudices culturae scripserunt de transitione culturae beatnik in vico in culturam hippie bohemianam annos 1960.[19]

Franciscopolis et recitatio Pinacothecae Six

recensere
 
Laurentius Ferlinghetti.

Allen Ginsberg et Neal et Carolyn Cassady Iosephopoli Californiae anno 1954 visitaverunt, et Augusto Franciscopolim migraverunt. Ginsberg Petrum Orlovsky anno 1954 exeunte adamavit et Howl scribere coepit. Laurentius Ferlinghetti, qui City Lights Bookstore curavit, seriem City Lights Pocket Poets anno 1955 edere coepit.

Diaeta Kennethi Rexroth noctibus diei Veneris salon litterarium facta est, cui Gulielmus Carolus Williams, consultor Ginsbergianus et amicus Rexrothianus litteras miserat, Ginsberg commendans. Ginsberg, a Gualterio Hedrick ad ordinandam recitationem in Pinacotheca Sex rogatus,[20] voluit Rexroth esse magistrum caerimoniarum, ut pontem aetatibus quasi imponeret.

 
Gary Snyder acroasem in Universitate Columbiae anno 2007 habet.

Philippus Lamantia, Michael McClure, Philippus Whalen, Allen Ginsberg, et Gary Snyder die 7 Octobris 1955 poemata legerunt prae centum auditores (inter quos fuerunt Kerouac, a Mexicopoli adveniens). Lamantia poemata legit sui Ioannis Hoffman, nuper mortui. Ginsberg, in sua prima lectione, partem poematis Howl egit quam tunc maxime finiverat. Spectatoribus gratissima fuit, et hic vesper multas lectiones alias a poetis Pinacothecae Six habitas antecedit, nunc in urbe famosis. Haec acroasis fuit initium motus prostrati, quia prolatio "Howl" anno 1956 (City Lights Pocket Poets, no. 4) et iudicio obscenitatis anno 1957 ubique in Civitatibus Foederatis innotuit.[21][22]

Lectione Pinacothecae Six capitulum secundum nititur The Dharma Bums, mythistoriae Kerouacanae (1958), cuius protagonista est Japhy Ryder, persona qui Gary Snyder commemorat. Kerouac, a Snyder magnopere impressus, nonnullos annos cum Snyder intimus erat; vere quidem anni 1955, in casa Snyderana in Mill Valley una habitabant. Plurimi prostrati fuerunt urbani, quibus Snyder videbatur paene mirificus, ob eius priorem aetatem rusticam et experientiam desertorum, atque ob eius eruditionem in anthropologia culturali et linguis Orientalibus. Laurentius Ferlinghetti eum Thoreau Aetatis Prostratae appellavit.[23] Snyder, ut in fine in The Dharma Bums describitur, ad Iaponiam anno 1955 migraverat, plerumque ut Zen penitus exerceret et investigaret; ubi proximos decem annos degebat. Buddhismus est una ex praecipuis rebus The Dharma Bums, et liber Buddhismum in Occidentali revera iuvit, unusque ex latissime lectis libris Kerouacianis hodie manet.[24]

Boreoccidentalis Pacificus

recensere

Prostrati etiam in regione boreoseptentrionali Orae Occidentalis degebant, praecipue Vasingtonia et Oregonia. Kerouac iter in montibus North Cascades Vasingtoniae in The Dharma Bums et On the Road descripsit.[25] Collegium Reed, Portlandiae Oregoniae situm, fuit locus nonnullorum poetarum prostratarum. Gary Snyder anthropologiae ibi studuerat, cum Philippus Whalen Reed frequentaret, atque Allen Ginsberg acroases in campo annis 1955 et 1956 habuit.[26] Gary Snyder et Philippus Whalen discipuli fuerunt in collegii classi calligraphica, a Lloyd J. Reynolds oblata.[27]

Personae magni momenti

recensere

Ad gregem allatus est Burroughs a Davide Kammerer, eo tempore Lucianum Carr amante. Carr, amicus Allen Ginsbergi nuper factus, eum ad Kammerer et Burroughs tradidit. Carr praeterea Editham Parker novit, amasiam Kerouacianam, per quam Burroughs Kerouac anno 1944 obviam ivit.

Die 13 Augusti 1944, Carr in Riverside Park Kammerer cultro puerorum exploratorum necavit, se (ut vindicavit) defendens.[28] Carr, cadavere in Hudson Flumen iacto, Burroughs consuluit, qui suasit ut Carr se vigilibus dederet. Kerouac cultrum tollere adiuvit. Carr se vigilibus mane tradidit et deinde pro tribunali homicidium confessus est. Kerouac conscius argutus est, et Burroughs contestatus est, sed iudices neutrum prosecuti sunt. Kerouac de hoc casu bis in litteris scripsit: primum in The Town and the City ('Oppidum et Urbs'), sua prima mythistoria, et iterum in Vanity of Duluoz, una ex ultimis. Una cum Burroughs de hac caede scripsit And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks, mythistoriam collaborativam. . . .
