Translating The Counterculture: The Reception Of The Beats In Turkey,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Turkey the Beat message of dissent is being given renewed life as publishers, editors, critics, readers, and others dissatisfied with the conservative social and political trends in the country have turned to the Beats and other countercultural forebears for alternatives. Through an examination of a broad range of literary translations, media portrayals, interviews, and other related materials, this book seeks to uncover how the Beats and their texts are being circulated, discussed, and used in Turkey to rethink the possibilities they might hold for social critique today.Mortenson examines how in Turkey the Beats have been framed by the label underground literature; explores the ways they are repurposed in the countercultureinspired journal Underground Poetix; looks at the reception of Jack Kerouacs On the Road and how that reaction provides a better understanding of the construction of Americanness; delves into the recent obscenity trial of William S. Burroughss novel The Soft Machine and the attention the books supporters brought to government repression and Turkish homophobia; and analyzes the various translations of Allen Ginsbergs Howl to demonstrate the relevance Ginsberg still holds for social rebellion today.Translating the Counterculture takes a revolutionary look at how contemporary readers in other parts of the world respond to the Beats. Challenging and unsettling an Americancentric understanding of the Beats, Mortenson pushes the discipline toward a fuller consideration of their cultural legacy in a globalized twentyfirst century.
