Este trabalho pretende analisar a obra literária Os subterrâneos, do autor norte-americano Jack Kerouac, tendo como base os termos contramemória e contracultura. A expressão contramemória foi cunhada por Aleida Assmann (2011), que observa a forma como a literatura constrói uma memória formada a partir de descartes dos arquivos da cultura oficial. Estes descartes nos remetem ao bebop, estilo de jazz muito presente na obra analisada e famoso por sua agilidade que destoa do jazz comercial. A corrente bebop, por muito tempo, foi apreciada por um público muito específico, criando assim uma forma de contracultura. O termo contracultura – cunhado por Theodore Roszak (1972) e, posteriormente, apropriado por diversas manifestações culturais – define culturas que vivem às margens da sociedade e que se opõem à cultura dominante, tida como opressora. O romance Os subterrâneos, publicado pela primeira vez em 1958, trata do envolvimento do narrador Leo Percepeid – codinome de Jack Kerouac – e Mardou Fox, integrante genuina da cultura do bebop jazz, marginalizada e de origens afro-americana. Em meio ao cenário boêmio de North Beach em São Francisco, Percepeid permeia uma cultura que lhe é estranha, visto que este é integrante da classe media branca norte-americana. As diferenças sociais e culturais do casal criam uma constante tensão, relacionada à marginalização vivida por Mardou Fox e a cultura a qual ela faz parte. Este trabalho também busca resgatar parte da herança literária de Jack Kerouac para observar a forma como o cânone se mistura à contracultura presente em seu romance. Acredita-se que essa mistura entre alta cultura e marginalização busque legitimar a contracultura, expandindo o cânone literário e inserindo-a no arquivo da contramemória. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze the literary work The Subterraneans, by the North American writer Jack Kerouac, basing on the terms countermemory and counterculture. The expression countermemory was coined by Aleida Assmann (2011), who observes how literature builds a memory containing discharges from the official culture archives. These discharges refer to bebop, a jazz style known by its agility that differs from commercial jazz and that was, for a long period, appreciated by a restrained public, so that created a counterculture form. The term counterculture – coined by Theodore Roszak (1972) and, later, suited to many culture expressions – defines cultures that exist at the margins of society and that are against the dominant culture, seen as oppressive. The novel The Subterraneans was published for the first time in 1958 and deals with the entanglement of the narrator Leo Percepeid – Jack Kerouac’s alias – and Mardou Fox, a genuine member of bebop jazz culture, marginalized and Afro-American rooted. Surrounded by the bohemian scenario of North Beach, San Francisco, Percepeid introduces himself in a culture that is strange to him, as he belongs to a North American white middle class. The couple’s social and cultural differences create a constant tension, related to Mardou Fox’s culture and marginalized lifestyle. This work also seeks to explore part of the literary heritage in Jack Kerouac and observe the way that the literary canon meddles to the counterculture. It is considered that the mixing of high and marginalized cultures aims to legitimate the counterculture, as it expands the literary canon and insert it in the countermemory archive.

Full textThis studys aim is to analyze the novel On the Road, by the Beat writer Jack Kerouac, in relation to Travel Literature tradition. The study is based in two specific perspectives: self-writing and writing about the Other. Concerning the latter, we focused on the nuances of ethnography and historiography that show up in the novel and might be linked to the tradition. About self-writing, we analyze the novels relation to the concept of Novel of Development, very common in travel writing. As a conclusion, we suggest that the book either follows the trends, or rebels, depending on the point of view. On the Road and its author could be considered, therefore, always on the move

Full textBorn of French Canadian immigrants, Kerouac has inherited a complex heritage that his novels mirror. The Duluoz Legend, his literary odyssey, is a journey into memory and identity to find his own identity but also a national identity. His Legend fluctuates from one heritage (his French Canadian ancestry) to the other (his American identity) often in conflicting ways. Rarely considered, his Franco-American background (composed of folkloric references, linguistic issues, religious beliefs) is very much present in his work especially in his Lowell novels and is an attempt to speak not only of a golden age (his French Canadian childhood in Lowell, Massachusetts) but also of an individual and collective memory: the memory of a transplanted people. It is an immigrant vision of America that his Legend offers: Ti Jean Duluoz’s immigrant song

Full textJack Kerouac's experiment of vriting is connected with wandering. Within american writers'tradition, kerouac gets through u. S. A. From east to west, and so physically to recover pioneer's mind. As an american writer, he is induced to re-think and make actual every myth of the time when space was free. Most of his readers has only read his best-seller "on the road" and just know this dimension. This thesis offers on unknown prospect of his work. Kerouac gives evidence it is nowadays completely impossible to be a "real" american man. But writing about this topic does not mean repeating the first commercial success. At the present time, the writer wanders about in the ghostly usa, haunted with remorses as he goes on writing, which means telling lies. Dialectics of motion (journey, truth) and of immobility (writing, lie) is therefore the key of this "wild parade" kerouac is describing us in his novels. As regard the formal aspect, kerouac's work may be considered as an open system. The experiment of wandering gives it periodically sense. This work is unable to be hardened to a definite style, and then foretells postmodernity which is characterized by the crisis of statements

Full textIn this project, I develop a comparative reading of a series of "personal narratives" produced by Jack London, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean-Paul Sartre and Jack Kerouac. My purpose is to analyze how these writers all question their own social status and function as authors, while denying literature’s value and efficiency in aesthetic, politic, and commercial terms. Scrutinizing different figures of these writers which their works offer, I argue that all these literary works are converged in an attempt at defining their positions as writers within their works, societies, and at characterizing their way to exist as human beings. This thesis thematically refers to three great mythical figures often associated with the figure of the artist: Prometheus, Narcissus, and Daedalus. Through Prometheus, I examine the status of writers that think themselves endowed with an almighty speech; through Narcissus, I examine the problems that such a way of investing literature with power generates; through Daedalus, I examine the attempts made by the writers to access a new status within ordinary humanity. In my conclusions, I examine how these writers’ attempt at reforming their authorial status while denying the efficiency of literature, and for this purpose I consider a variety of later literary and visual works in which London, Céline, Sartre and Kerouac are represented

Full textThe notion of suffering is one of the fundamental themes in the novels of jack kerouac. From visions of gerard to vanity of duluoz, via on the road, it appears as the condition of the writing. After showing how the post-xar social climate on the one hand, and education in the franco-american environment on the other hand, furthured systematic research on suffering, this study intends to define the genesis and evolution of this notion structured round three main fields: christianity, existentialism, buddhism. The "legend of duluoz" is the result of a moral wandering centered round the "eros-death-spirituality" triptych. The essence of the work is then primarily ontological. It is an investigation on the meaning and nature of the being as distinguished from the person. This ontological investigation goes hand in hand with an intense and insatiable spiritual quest eternally repeated. Consequently, kerouac's novels cannot be viewed within the single perspective of american literature. They must be looked at as the meeting point of several sources of inspiration and therefore tend toward universality

Full textThe present work seeks to understand the creative process of the American writer Jack Kerouac, whose vast novelistic work, The Duluoz Legend, affiliates itself to the tradition of the German Bildungsroman. We will demonstrate that his project of spontaneous prose is the result of a free experience with language, which educates him ethically and originates his works. By means of an analysis of his peripheral manuscripts, such as diaries, journals, letters, sketches and articles, we will reveal how Kerouac reflected about the being of the work of art in a philosophical way that led him to the aesthetical solution of the non-fictional storytelling. These meditations follow, in general, the prescript of the becoming what one is, which lies in the heart of the romantic concept of genius. Seeking to establish an analysis of this philosophical dimension of Kerouacs creative process, the dissertation organizes itself around three chapters that correspond to the development of three general hypothesis: 1) the experience with language is the origin of the experimental work of art; 2) the experience with language is the one of the creation of ethical freedom; 3) the creation of the work of art follows the movement of the quest for the origin, which is freedom itself. To prove such hypothesis, we will elaborate in the first chapter an analitics of the literary experience that will serve us as a historical and theoretical fundament for the analysis of Kerouacs manuscripts. The second chapter presents the examination of Kerouacs ethical education led by the romantic concept of genius. In the third chapter, we will develop an examination of how the formal structures of Kerouacs novels are the product of his reflections about the organic character of the romantic work of art. At last, we will conclude that Kerouacs creative and experimental process follows a circular pattern: from experience-as-origins to origins-as-experience, from the creation of freedom to the freedom of creation.

Full textThis study engages with Jack Kerouac’s figure, and links it to Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau’s in through the theme of poverty. Invoking theorizations of the term by Gilles Marcotte, Jean Larose, Yvon Rivard and Yvan Lamonde in relation to Québec writers, this thesis will comprise two parts. In the first chapter, this study highlights some dialogic interlinkings between Garneau’s and Kerouac’s imaginaries. The point is to explain how poverty can simultaneously be a vocation, an aspiration, and a posture (as in Jérôme Meizoz’s study) for each writer. The second chapter analyzes what Jack Kerouac’s poverty heritage entails through a discussion of three of his novels: Visions of Gerard, On the Road and Satori in Paris. Lastly, this study also highlights that they are many links to be made between Québec literature and Jack Kerouac, but that these links go beyond a linguistic community; rather, they have to do with a negotiation of both French-Canadian identity and a problematic shared cultural heritage.

Full textThe first-person novels which make up the Duluoz Legend, the autobiographical cycle written by Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), are often analyzed in the light of what is known of their author’s private life or of the mythology that surrounds Beat Generation writers. Informed by performative approaches to the genre of autobiography and to the masculine gender as well as by recent historiographical research on masculinity and masculine sexuality during the Cold War period, this thesis seeks to deconstruct the ethos of confessional spontaneity and of heroic manliness that surrounds Kerouac’s writings. His narrative of the self are not faithful reflections of the “I” or factual accounts of the author’s own life, but a public staging of male authorial identity, a theatre of identity in words and actions. This playful masquerade sustains a narrative strategy that aims at constructing an ideal vision of oneself as a man and as a writer and shall be read in the perspective of his wish to revitalize American literature and masculinity which he feared to be in decline. Yet, these acts of cross-dressing of the authorial persona also testify to the powerful sway of anti-homosexual paranoia over the 1950s literary output and show the trouble that undermines this performance of masculinity which constantly threatens to reveal the tears, the silences and the contradictions that it tries so hard to mask

Full textThe thesis is about the comparative analysis which concern about the main concept of quest where from soul mountain of Gao Xingjian and On the Road of Jack Kerouac. Although these two books seem quite unlike, by the spiritual of comparative literature, they totally worth to be comparative studied carefully, and we think they have quite much in common.First, these two novels are both rich in connotation, they cover many of the novel categories, such as autobiographical novel, geographical novel, pilgrimage novel, picaresque novel, novel of manners, novel of meditation, the “cold” novel and non socialist novel. In different aspects, these two works can meet the needs of different readers.Secondly, in the stylistics, the soul mountain and on the road are two unusual novels. The innovation of the soul mountain is the practice of singularity of narration, the singularity of language characteristic, the singularity of structure, the heterogeneity of the material, the singularity of the form. As for on the road, the creativity of the novel based on many aspects, namely the spontaneous prose, also the singularity of characteristic of the construction, the way of writing, and the uniqueness of content.The third, the soul mountain and on the road two novels both relate as they quest the idea of space. Mountain, road and house are three common recurrent motifs which show up in these two novels, which are also odes of wide open spaces. The protagonists narrate the travel through America and China. We can discover from the two books both contain odes which point to the cultures cultivated from the spaces. In these two works, the narrations about landscapes are both pictorial and also polysensoriel. Spaces typographic of the two novels are also rearranged with art: both cut and sewn. Finally, from the perspective of the spiritual, the soul mountain and on the road can be regarded as novels of the soul: many spiritual questions are quested and thoroughly researched. The two novels both deal with the quest for the sense of life, and more specifically, the pursuit of the ego, (identity, soi), the quest for the way of life (present, liberty), the quest for the metaphysical (destiny, death, religion).These four similarities are corresponding to the four quests of these two novels: the quest of novel categories, stylistics, space, sense of life

O advento da Segunda Guerra Mundial trouxe consigo grandes mudanças no cenário artístico global. Para a compreensão da literatura produzida nesse período, é necessário tratar da Contracultura, um movimento contestador que faz oposição à cultura dominante. Esta, de caráter conservador e elitista, serve à indústria cultural, como um importante veículo de propagação e manutenção do establishment. Apesar de apoiada por uma minoria, a Contracultura é fundamental para a compreensão da literatura contemporânea, visto que, ao se popularizar, contribuiu para a formação da dominante cultural do século XXI: a pós-modernidade. Este estudo compara duas literaturas contraculturais: uma norte-americana da década de 1950, conhecida como geração beat, e outra brasileira da década de 1970, chamada de geração mimeógrafo. Afirma-se que a brasileira é epígona da norte-americana. E para contrapor tal assertiva, esta pesquisa vale-se da Teoria dos Polissistemas, aliada à análise semiótica da poética de Jack Kerouac, no caso da geração beat, e da poética de Nicolas Behr, da geração mimeógrafo. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The advent of Second World War brought relevant changes in the global art scene. For understanding the literature produced during this period, it is necessary to study the Counterculture, a movement that opposes to the dominant culture, which serves the Culture Industry as an important vehicle for the propagation and maintenance of the conservative and elitist establishment. Although the Counterculture is supported by a minority, it is fundamental to the understanding of contemporary literature because its posterior popularity contributed to the formation of the dominant culture of the twenty-first century: the postmodernity. This study compares two countercultural literatures: an American in the 1950s, known as the Beat Generation, and another, Brazilian, in the 1970s, called geração mimeógrafo. It is said that the Brazilian counterculture literature is an epigone to the U.S. To prove this assertion, this research uses the Theory Polysystem allied to a semiotic analysis of the poetry of Jack Kerouac, in the case of the Beat Generation, and the poetry of Nicolas Behr, of the geração mimeógrafo.

The objective of this work is to analyze the aesthetic ideals of two writers of the Beat Generation: Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. With such an objective in mind, their two main works, On the Road and Howl, respectively, were studied comparatively. Through this study, we tried to delineate the interpretation that each author gives to these ideals they share, showing the divergences of understanding and materialization of such ideals in these two works. Besides, there is a historical trajectory. Firstly, building a strong base for the work, we analyze the historical period in America during the moment of formation of the generation. The historical focus then shifts to the private lives of each author, their cultural and linguistic influences, their intellectual itineraries. From that knowledge, it is also possible to understand the process of formation of the ideals themselves, central theme of this dissertation. We also tried to show how the next generations got hold of the ideals studied here, how the readers interpreted those artistic works in an individual way. From that, the authors’ reaction to this reinterpretation is reflected upon. In other words, this work is a deep survey of the aesthetic ideals of two artists, their formation and perpetuation. The main documents and texts used in the development of the analysis described above were: private journals to trace in time the transition of thoughts on their own artistic practices, letters exchanged between the two artists to demonstrate how their thoughts communicated and diverged in certain aspects, articles from newspapers and magazines to show the reception they had at the time and what others thought of the texts we studied, and biographies to base the text with history fundamentals.
O objetivo do presente trabalho é o de fazer uma análise dos ideais estéticos de dois autores da Beat Generation: Jack Kerouac e Allen Ginsberg. Para tal, empreendeu-se um estudo comparativo das principais obras de cada autor, a saber, On the Road (1957) e “Howl” (1956), respectivamente. Através de tal estudo, pretende-se delinear a interpretação que cada autor dá aos ideais que os dois compartilham, demonstrar as divergências de compreensão e a efetivação dos ideais nessas duas obras. Além do mais, uma trajetória histórica é traçada em alguns sentidos. Primeiramente, com o objetivo de oferecer base para o trabalho, mostra-se o momento histórico vivido nos Estados Unidos durante o período de formação da geração da qual fazer parte os autores. Também é foco de análise histórica a vida particular de cada autor, suas influências culturais e linguísticas, sua trajetória intelectual. A partir de tal conhecimento, é possível compreender também o processo de formação dos ideais estéticos, tema central dessa dissertação. Também se busca demonstrar a apropriação dos ideais estudados pela geração seguinte à dos escritores analisados: a geração leitora que interpretou as obras de maneira particular. A partir disso deseja-se investigar a reação de cada um dos autores para tal reinterpretação. Em outras palavras, trata-se de uma sondagem profunda dos ideais estéticos de dois artistas, sua formação e sua perpetuação. Os principais documentos e textos utilizados para o desenvolvimento da análise acima descrita foram: diários particulares para delinear no tempo as nuances de pensamento sobre suas próprias práticas artísticas, correspondências trocadas entre os autores para demonstrar como os pensamentos dos dois dialogavam e confrontavam um com o outro, artigos de jornais e revistas da época para desvelar a recepção que os autores tiveram e elucubrações diversas sobre os textos estudados, além de biografias para embasar os demais estudos com fundamentação histórica.

Full textThis is a critical reading of On the Road, a novel by the North American writer Jack Kerouac, whose life and work represent the social dissatisfaction and the artistic manifestation of a generation of poets and novelists denominated, in the decades of 50 and 60, The Beat Generation, or The Beatniks. The work consists of an investigation to establish relationships among the triad author-narrator-protagonist in the proposed narrative. Supported by the theory of Walter Benjamin, the chosen theme contemplates the reflections of Benjamin about authorship, experience and modernity; but, above all, it privileges his conception of the flâneur; once the objective of the work is to show his movement and role in the literary corpus, as well as in the life of the Beatnik author. This thesis is divided in three parts. The first presents a brief historical comment on the situation of the United States in the postwar period, in order to contextualize and discuss the creation of the Beat Movement as an avantgardist manifestation. The second part introduces Kerouac and Benjamin, highlighting facts and important moments of their lives and work through the movements of the flâneur. The third moment analyzes On the Road in connection with Walter Benjamin's thoughts and in the extent of the tradition of Travel Literature, emphasizing the relevance of authorship. In the conclusion, I expect to legitimate the role of the flâneur in the narrative and socio-historical scope of that generation.

Full textThis research work tries to question on the function and the signification of states of nonordinary reality also called states of modification of conscience. Through philosophic theories of conscience and perception, we’ll see how they evolued from Descartes to cognitives sciences. Far from focus ourselves on an analysis tied to philosophy, we’ll include in our research a study of a litterature of perception, the american ones wich begin in the second half of the 20th century. Exclusively focusing on significatives excerpts of some books by writers like Aldous Huxley, Jack Kerouac and Carlos Castaneda, we’ll try to define the perceptives limits of our conscience. We’ll question ourselves on a possibility of a wider philosophy and on a possible relativity of perception through these states of nonordinary reality
