| Description: |
"The subterraneans, or Arthur Freed's Beatnik musical -- Textural and lexical fidelities in the short film adaptations of William S. Burroughs: Towers open fire, The discipline of D.E., and The junky's Christmas -- David Cronenberg's Naked lunch: filming about Writing -- Mrs. & Mr. Cassady: Heart beat (1980) and The last time I committed suicide (1997) -- The many registers of Allen Ginsberg's Howl (2010) -- Jack Kerouac in the contemporary cultural stream: Walter Salles and Diego Rivera's On the road (2012) and Michael Polish's Big Sur (2013) -- Conclusion." |
| Synopsis: |
William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac were three of the most significant figures of the Beat Generation, whose writings have been adapted and appropriated for graphic novels, feature-length films, and other media. Adapting the Beat Poets looks at film versions of their writings-including Naked Lunch, Howl, and On the Road-and examines how these interpretations are linked to each other and how beat literature, which historically and artistically stakes itself on authenticity, can be significantly altered by such adaptations. |
