Abstract:
This study aimed to examine and analyze the novel The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac based on the political theory of Michel Foucault. This semi-fictional account is the story of search for the original experience and enlightenment and introduces the character of Gary Snyder as Japhy Ryder who is a poet, critical thinker, philosopher and political radical, and Ray Smith, the alter ego of Jack Kerouac himself. The main focus would be on Foucault’s conceptions of power, power relations, institutions, normalization, and surveillance. This study will also seek to provide a true understanding of the life and times of Jack Kerouac. Moreover, it represents the cultural, political, and historical background based on which Kerouac had written his work. Kerouac’s novel represents the spirit of the age of a people who sought change, difference, and disobedience; the main characters are antiheroes who challenge their prisonlike structure of the society. In contrast, the government has the upper hand by means of its distinct and overlapping institutions that not only neutralize such acts or resistances but make normal and ordinary those individuals who were themselves the promoters and examples of abnormality.

Abstract:
This study is an attempt at reading Jack Kerouac’s “The Subterraneans” in the light of the theory of Michel Foucault. “The Subterraneans”, written in 1958, grapples with the life of Leo, the alter ego of Jack Kerouac himself. The actions and interactions of its main characters, Leo Percepied and Mardou Fox, are observed and analyzed, focusing on the political philosophy of Foucault, specifically his conceptions of power, power relations, institutions, and surveillance to shed light on the ideas of Kerouac, the spokesperson of the Beat Generation. Kerouac’s novel represents the spirit of the age of a people who sought change, difference, and disobedience; the main characters are antiheroes who challenge their prisonlike structure of the society. In contrast, the government has the upper hand by means of its distinct and overlapping institutions that not only neutralize such acts or resistances but make normal and ordinary those individuals who were themselves the promoters and examples of abnormality. Jack Kerouac’s “The Subterraneans” is characterized by unfreedom, obedience, unthinking men, individuals without individuality, and disillusionment.

Abstract:
“The apple pie was more than just ‘nutritious, man.’” Despite frequent critical fixation on the jazz aspects of Jack Kerouac's oeuvre, this reconsideration of the author's canon poses food as a central theme of the Duluoz Legend and analyzes the ways in which Kerouac thought and wrote about food as an object, literary motif, and cultural conduit—modes of thought that, despite previous tracing of contemporary food culture to the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s, lead almost directly to many current food issues, practices, and debates. Grounded in Kerouac's attentive engagement with the agricultural overtures of Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West, this article discusses how Kerouac understood, played with, and utilized food as a means of cultural comprehension and then—via jazz—cultural subversion within the “decline” of the West, primarily through his novels The Town and the City (1950), On the Road (1957), and The Dharma Bums (1958).

Abstract:
"Jack Kerouac Does Not Lie" recounts my pilgrimage in the summer of 2000, from southwest Florida to a canyon beach in California where Jack Kerouac—as I had read in his Big Sur—lost his mind forty years earlier. I was heavily influenced. Kerouac's On the Road showed me what to do with myself. Big Sur showed me where to go. In the twentieth century Americans shifted their notions of the west coast from a means for sustenance to a symbol of post-war freedom. Kerouac seems to embody this momentum; the world and the burning spirit his work describes is a precursor to the sixties. His muse, Neal Cassady, is the common link—appearing as Dean Moriarty in Kerouac's first major work and later as himself in Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. My parents were a part of this westward yearning's last true surge in the early seventies, when they ventured cross-country and stayed out there for a time. They'd caught the tail end of the wave, and told me a bit about it. I was full of stories, mostly fiction. Sweating in my twenty year old conversion van with a big friend, Ben—whose goals were less "literary"—I sought to recreate the legends I had read, the movies I had seen, and the tales my parents had told me. I was on a mission; I wanted my trip to measure up. Ben was on vacation. Our folly is chronicled within; three weeks and four thousand miles of it.

Este trabalho pretende analisar a obra literária Os subterrâneos, do autor norte-americano Jack Kerouac, tendo como base os termos contramemória e contracultura. A expressão contramemória foi cunhada por Aleida Assmann (2011), que observa a forma como a literatura constrói uma memória formada a partir de descartes dos arquivos da cultura oficial. Estes descartes nos remetem ao bebop, estilo de jazz muito presente na obra analisada e famoso por sua agilidade que destoa do jazz comercial. A corrente bebop, por muito tempo, foi apreciada por um público muito específico, criando assim uma forma de contracultura. O termo contracultura – cunhado por Theodore Roszak (1972) e, posteriormente, apropriado por diversas manifestações culturais – define culturas que vivem às margens da sociedade e que se opõem à cultura dominante, tida como opressora. O romance Os subterrâneos, publicado pela primeira vez em 1958, trata do envolvimento do narrador Leo Percepeid – codinome de Jack Kerouac – e Mardou Fox, integrante genuina da cultura do bebop jazz, marginalizada e de origens afro-americana. Em meio ao cenário boêmio de North Beach em São Francisco, Percepeid permeia uma cultura que lhe é estranha, visto que este é integrante da classe media branca norte-americana. As diferenças sociais e culturais do casal criam uma constante tensão, relacionada à marginalização vivida por Mardou Fox e a cultura a qual ela faz parte. Este trabalho também busca resgatar parte da herança literária de Jack Kerouac para observar a forma como o cânone se mistura à contracultura presente em seu romance. Acredita-se que essa mistura entre alta cultura e marginalização busque legitimar a contracultura, expandindo o cânone literário e inserindo-a no arquivo da contramemória. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze the literary work The Subterraneans, by the North American writer Jack Kerouac, basing on the terms countermemory and counterculture. The expression countermemory was coined by Aleida Assmann (2011), who observes how literature builds a memory containing discharges from the official culture archives. These discharges refer to bebop, a jazz style known by its agility that differs from commercial jazz and that was, for a long period, appreciated by a restrained public, so that created a counterculture form. The term counterculture – coined by Theodore Roszak (1972) and, later, suited to many culture expressions – defines cultures that exist at the margins of society and that are against the dominant culture, seen as oppressive. The novel The Subterraneans was published for the first time in 1958 and deals with the entanglement of the narrator Leo Percepeid – Jack Kerouac’s alias – and Mardou Fox, a genuine member of bebop jazz culture, marginalized and Afro-American rooted. Surrounded by the bohemian scenario of North Beach, San Francisco, Percepeid introduces himself in a culture that is strange to him, as he belongs to a North American white middle class. The couple’s social and cultural differences create a constant tension, related to Mardou Fox’s culture and marginalized lifestyle. This work also seeks to explore part of the literary heritage in Jack Kerouac and observe the way that the literary canon meddles to the counterculture. It is considered that the mixing of high and marginalized cultures aims to legitimate the counterculture, as it expands the literary canon and insert it in the countermemory archive.

Abstract:
The research and creative portions of this thesis develop from the various responses individuals experience in the wake of a loss. The research into the evolution of faith in author Jack Kerouac's 'Duluoz Legend' and the central storyline of the novel 'Mayor of Hollywood' spring from the same well: the crossroads between death and faith. The research piece concerns itself with Kerouac's exploration of the spiritual interior in the wake of the death of his protagonist's older brother, developing a personal faith that blends Buddhism and Catholicism unfettered by formal religious practice, mirroring instead an older path of Catholic mysticism. Mayor of Hollywood explores the opposite side of the religious coin: the protagonist, Lucy Cassidy, has little compelling interest in her own spiritual existence but must address the practicalities of her partner's formal practice of Catholicism, including dietary restrictions, regular worship, moral strictures, and the religious formalization of the guilt process. At the same time, Lucy and Mark must resolve several deaths that have occurred, substituting the secular path of crime detection for the more spiritual quest to reunite with God. Linked by the shared topic of death, the two halves of the thesis address faith as a whole, exploring the interior and exterior spiritual life.

Abstract:
A proposta deste trabalho é analisar o romance On the Road, do escritor Beat Jack Kerouac em diálogo com a tradição da Literatura de Viagem. O estudo baseia-se em duas perspectivas em especial: a escrita de si e a escrita do outro. No que diz respeito a esta última, observamos os tons etnográficos e historiográficos que aparecem no romance e remetem à tradição. No que tange a escrita de si, observamos como a obra se comporta em relação ao caráter de Romance de Formação muito comum em relatos de viagem. Por conclusão, sugerimos que a obra por vezes dá continuidade, por vezes rompe com essas vertentes. On the Road e seu autor estariam, portanto, sempre em movimento
This studys aim is to analyze the novel On the Road, by the Beat writer Jack Kerouac, in relation to Travel Literature tradition. The study is based in two specific perspectives: self-writing and writing about the Other. Concerning the latter, we focused on the nuances of ethnography and historiography that show up in the novel and might be linked to the tradition. About self-writing, we analyze the novels relation to the concept of Novel of Development, very common in travel writing. As a conclusion, we suggest that the book either follows the trends, or rebels, depending on the point of view. On the Road and its author could be considered, therefore, always on the move
