"The Beat Goes On: Readings and
discussion by faculty and students in the spirit of the Beat generation, with
an open mic."
The Beat Movement of literature was a tour de force in the literary world of
the 1950s and the early 1960s. It was a
rebellious reaction against the prevailing conservatism of the times, and it
broke new ground in individual freedom as well as explored avenues of thought
that inspired many social movements that followed. The Beats had a message of
individuality and freedom, but also had a strong philosophical and intellectual
foundation. The Beat movement was not simply based on hedonism, but had an
ambitious intellectual discipline embedded in its core.
