In these critical essays Gregory Stephenson takes the reader on a journey through the literature of the Beat Generation: a journey encompassing that common ethos of Beat literature--the passage from darkness to light, from fragmented being toward wholeness, from Beat to Beatific. He travels through Jack Kerouac's Duluoz Legend, ""following Kerouac's quests for identity, community, and spiritual knowledge. He examines Allen Ginsberg's use of transcendence in "Howl," discovers the Gnostic vision in William S. Burroughs's fiction, and studies the mythic, visionary power of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poetry. Stephenson also provides detailed examinations of the writing of lesser-known Beat authors: John Clellon Holmes, Gregory Corso, Richard Farina, and Michael McClure. He explores the myth and the mystery of the literary legend of Neal Cassady. The book concludes with a look at the common traits of the Beat writers--their use of primitivism, shamanism, myth and magic, spontaneity, and improvisation, all of which led them to a new idiom of consciousness and to the expansion of the parameters of American literature.

准备某篇期末论文时读的论文集。Beat一代内里的核心追求就是transcendence, mental well-being and wholeness.理解之后其他也就不难读懂了

主要读了Burroughs作品中的诺斯替主义视角的那篇。结合了《软机器》对其主要理论及“Word Virus”的观点做剖析。对于“肉身”的“媒介化”还可以结合德勒兹进一步论述，当然那是我学年论文要做的事情。“非肉体的体验”即是“无器官的身体”的展开，借此人类可以到达一种新宇宙。科学、人类学、哲学、宗教、心理学和文学在Burroughs这里重叠并融合为一门学科：人类解放。
