Abstract
The instinctual nature of non-conformist, inappropriate thoughts did happen to grow as the side-effect from the pseudo-medical tools of 20th and 21st centuries’ viral socities respectively. In parallel with Michel Foucault’s explicit disturbance of every repetitive ‘model’ society and his never-failing evolutionary diagnosis, as expressed in his work “Madness&Civilization”; Gingsberg’s “Howl” was designed to be a realistic collage of the Beat Nuisance over acute race/gender/sexuality discrimination, governal deceits and related brutal methods of incarnation&repression, substantially, a detailed archeological excavation field. In relation to the Powerstruck ideal-seeking state and its society, this essay raises one question: “How long can One that is the proclaimed, bare Power can use its man-made matrix to create i) either a nonsensical escape for a structure that actually never changes, the Ideal; or to make one ignore ii) the depths of denial, One’s distinctness from The Beast- in its purest form ‘mind and volition’, by making him choose the “blue pill” over and over again, demanding both perfect order and one’s maintenance on their very own comfort zone?The answer is for a timeless period of time. Ginsberg had chosen the so-called “red pill”, yet the Power remained and still is unaffected. As for the ones who are stil being kept lawfully and morally in place (lost) by the blue pill, this essay aims to decipher the timeless battle of the Power(struck) vs. an overwhelmingly authentic manifesto-“Howl”.
