Wonderful lecture. I usually RUclips Ginsberg's reading of "Howl" a couple times a year. But after watching this lecture, I now have a greater appreciation for the symbolism and the reason behind so many of the shocking language references the poet uses.
A very clear and accurate explanation of concepts sometimes difficult to grasp and not very often clearly exposed. I'd like to know the name of the lecturer, please. Thanks a lot, it has been very helpful.
the "about" button lists "Todd James Pierce." I googled him. He is a professor, but younger than the lecturer. Maybe you can contact him to find out about the lecturer.
...(-_-)... since I'm writing this Twice I respect this person's idea that Howl somehow relates to some post ww2 oppressive ideology, however, I would more relate it to the fact that many vets from Korea and Vietnam returned from their service without all the praise and glorification that vets from WW2 enjoyed. Also post ww2 times seem to be about celebration and enjoyment of the fact that the war was over...Perhaps much like "A Shropshire Lad" the true value of Howl was not appreciated until long after its publicization.
i have no clue how the students aren't laughing their asses off, Ginsberg is always pure gold

Eh, Quetzal. Estaría muy bien que hicieras un vídeo de Allen Gingsberg o William Burroughs. Me encantan tus vídeos, gracias por hacerlos.
A long shot, but what University/establishment is this from and the name of the lecturer? Hugely appreciated if anyone knows

Our culture does not wellcome those that fought to a draw or lost a war. Vae victis and all that.
I suppose Ginsberg would be more directly affected by the ending of WWII and the oppressive ideology thereafter because he was at the back hand of it.
Aswell as the fact he references the motionless world of time between Canada and Paterson
@@liammattheus5048 ahh Ginsberg…that eager puppy lol
This poem is the equivalent to a painter taking a dump on a white canvas and letting it dry
Is that what you really think or are you being hyperbolic?
