一、课题任务与目的
本文关注点在于杰克·凯鲁亚克《在路上》中所反映的即兴与反叛的反文化元素。杰克·凯鲁亚克在《在路上》一书中以真实生活中的人物原型,再现了杰克·凯鲁亚克和迪恩·莫里亚蒂及艾伦·金斯伯格等人的七年的横跨美国的旅程。作者以一种惊世骇俗的生活方式和文学试验来反对资产阶级道德规范。同时他们的行为也深受黑人爵士乐的熏陶,充满了即兴与刺激的意味。他们追寻求极端的个性与自由,形成了美国六十年代特殊的亚文化群。论文向读者展现了小说中最具特点“垮掉一代”特点的反文化元素,使读者进一步的解读杰克·凯鲁亚克和《在路上》。
三、初步设计方法与实施方案
本论文从即兴与反叛的角度分析了杰克·凯鲁亚克的《在路上》反文化元素。一、小说作者杰克·凯鲁亚克“自发性的写作”手法代表了一种在即兴与无序的状态下作者“最初的思绪”和“最好的思想”以达到对事物的真正感悟。二、小说中多次出现主人公萨尔·帕拉迪斯和迪恩·莫里亚蒂在流浪途中迷恋爵士乐,和在爵士乐即兴奔放强劲的节奏中自我放纵的场景。
三、小说中大量描写了关于酗酒、吸毒、同性恋、流浪、开快车等与主流文化价值观不符的反文化行为。“垮掉一代” 以一种及时行乐的反文化的生活态度,过着放浪不羁的生活。经过研究得出结论:小说《在路上》所有这些反文化的表象实际上是他们在更深层次上所进行的精神上的反叛与探索。并且在一定程度上催化了在美国甚至是整个西方世界的嬉皮士运动和摇滚文化,同时也是60年代新“左”派浪潮的先声。
