Liminality and "Communitas" in the Beat Generation
Aaron Christopher Mitchell
This book analyzes the literature and lifestyles of the Beat Generation based on Victor Turner's anthropological studies. Signs of liminality and "communitas" appear in works by Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg. The Beats formed anti-structure in their liminal stage and recorded this in their liminoid literature.
