Does the Beat movement of the 1980s differ in characteristics from that of 1960s?
The beat voice has subdued in the 1980s as the major members of the movement either passed away or grew old. And there is also perhaps the change in the audience's taste in a context in which much of the countercultural practices and attitudes of the 1960s were more or less normalized; like pornography, sexual liberty, the growing recognition (and recent empowerment) of the queer community, drug-taking, attitudes to traditional religion and spirituality.
But I wonder if anyone could pinpoint stylistic or ideological evolvement in the 1980s beat movement. I'm specifically interested in Allen Ginsberg.
Thanks for sharing ideas!
It's always change when modernization and globalization come to a country and influence the society from their life, especially from their culture and lifestyle.
For ideological is not include for the change, because ideological in the 1980's still cold-war between communism and capitalism in economic-political side.
