Capturing the beat momentcultural politics and the poetics of presence /[electronic resource] :Erik Mortenson. - Carbondale :Southern Illinois University Press,c2011. - 1 online resource (xii, 226 p.) :ill.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: rethinking the beats -- Being present: authenticity inpostwar America -- The visionary state: uniting past, present, and future -- Immanence and transcendence: Reich, orgasm, and the body -- Recording the moment: the role of the photograph in beat representation -- Getting together: heterotopia and the moment as a social site -- Conclusion: making the most of the moment.

This book investigates the cultural construction of immediacy in Beat writing. It places an expanded canon of Beat writers in an early postmodern context that highlights their importance in American poetics andoutlines the effects of gender and race on Beat writing in the postwaryears. Mortenson argues that Beat writers focused on action, desire, and spontaneity to establish an authentic connection to the world aroundthem. He challenges the stereotype of the Beats as simply timeless hipsters by demonstrating their importance to our understanding of the changes occurring in America in the middle of the twentieth century.--[book cover]
