description | The year of 1968 has become, throughout time, a kind of reference to the great transformations that occurred in the decades of 1960 and 1970. Some time before, however, in the 1950’s, in the US, a young movement appeared. They were known as the beat generation, which main representatives were Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and others. It was a group of intellectual young men that brought, through the literature and art, a life style and different behavior from the pragmatic and commercialized universe of the American society. Together with the rock’n’roll, also from that moment, the youth had conditions to engender a big behavior revolution, that later was known as the movement of counterculture, of the hippies and of the psychedelic culture. From that moment on, the bases for all that would yet come in the 1960’s and 1970’s was launched. Those decades were revolutionary; a time when the youth did not prevaricated about the right of tracing its own destiny. The greatest goal was to insure what the man has as a precious gift: the freedom and the fight against the behavior asphyxia imposed by the establishment. |

O ano de 1968 tornou-se, no decorrer do tempo, uma espécie de referência para as grandes transformações ocorridas nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. Um pouco antes, porém, surgiu nos Estados Unidos, nos anos de 1950, um movimento de jovens que ficou conhecido como beat generation, cujos principais representantes foram Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, entre outros. Foi um grupo de moços intelectualizados que propôs, por meio da literatura e da arte, um estilo de vida e de comportamento diferente do universo pragmático e mercantilizado da sociedade americana. Ao lado do rock’n’roll também surgido nesse momento, a juventude teve as condições para engendrar uma grande revolução comportamental, que mais tarde ficou conhecida como o movimento da contracultura, dos hippies e da cultura psicodélica. A partir desse momento estavam lançadas as bases para tudo o que viria ocorrer nos anos de 1960 e 1970, décadas realmente revolucionárias, em que a juventude não tergiversou quanto ao direito de traçar seu próprio destino. Seu maior objetivo era assegurar o que o homem tem de mais precioso: a liberdade e a luta contra a asfixia comportamental imposta pelo establishment. 2009-04-15 2022-03-18T18:32:57Z 2022-03-18T18:32:57Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/1315 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63016 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/1315/1052 Copyright (c) 2009 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 14 n. 26 (2009) 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
