“Howl,” which stunned people due to its unprecedented and unconventional characteristics in the 1950s, seems to be regarded mostly as postmodern rather than as modern. However, some critics think this poem is closer to modernism because it shows “formal continuity.” However, the difference between modernism and postmodernism itself is moot. In addition, the question whether Allen Ginsberg’s poetry is modern or postmodern is problematic because his poetry seems to include both characteristics, which make “Howl” a bridge work between modernism and postmodernism. In this study, I try to figure out Ginsberg’s poetry, focusing on “Howl,” in terms of prophecy and other postmodern issues such as carnivalization, parody, and spontaneity. Most of all, I argue that the theme of prophecy belongs not only to modernism but also to postmodernism. Thus prophecy can be an entry point to approach the debate in terms of post/modernism. Furthermore, I examine postmodern elements in “Howl,” which make the poem move closer toward postmodernism.
Abstract
“Howl,” which stunned people due to its unprecedented and unconventional characteristics in the 1950s, seems to be regarded mostly as postmodern rather than as modern.
