Journal Article
Review of The Philosophy of the Beats
2013
Overview
Reconstructing the Beats (2004) edited by Jennie Skerl advances, although not intentionally, the philosophical direction of Bartlett and Stephenson's work in several essays, including the philosophy of civil disobedience discussed in \"T Want to Be with My Own Kind': Individual Resistance and Collective Action in the Beat Counterculture\" by Clinton R. Starr and the influence of the German philosopher Oswald Spengler on Beat writers in Mexico in Daniel Belgrad's ground-breaking article \"The Transnational Counterculture.\" In this context, The Philosophy of the Beats, edited by Sharin N. Elkholy and published in 2012 as part of the University of Kentucky's Philosophy of Popular Culture series, adds little to the extant scholarship, despite Elkholy's introductory claim that the collection \"provide[s] cutting-edge analysis of beat style-literary, personal, and political-by drawing on philosophical theories and framework to recast the themes explored in Beat writings. ...\" [...]the introduction fails to explain how the collection fits within the growing body of Beat studies and cultural/popular studies literature-and to delineate how philosophical lenses will advance our already substantial understanding of the Beat corpus. David Sterritt's \"Wholly Communion: Poetry, Philosophy, and Spontaneous Bop Cinema,\" addresses a little-known experimental film titled Wholly Communion made by Peter Whitehead in the late Beat period (1965), using the aesthetics of Mikhail Bakhtin and the schizoanalysis of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guiattari to explore the context and composition history of the film as Beat production, convincingly demonstrating the rhizomatic and dialogic structuring of the film that resists monologic discourse while reaffirming rational and logical construction.
