| dc.description.abstract | In this paper, I am going to focus upon one of the most significant countercultures, the hippie movement of the 60s. Firstly, due to the fact that it is essential to know where the word “hippie” comes from, the etymology of it will be explained. Also, the Beat generation, as the predecessor of the hippie movement, and its two major representatives, namely Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac will be mentioned along with a brief discussion of the poem called Howl and the novel called On the Road, to illustrate that they paved the way for the hippies even via their works. Additionally, a comparison between the Beat generation and the hippie movement is worth having. The issue of defining the hippie movement will be addressed as well, with the conclusion that the aforementioned movement is rather a frame of mind than a frame of time. Moreover, the hippies’ major ideas and ideals will be discussed, more precisely, the idea of transforming themselves in lieu of society, along with the idea of love and arationality. In my paper, I argue that even though the idea of changing a society by changing themselves via love and arationality is naïve and idealistic, they did believe in the transformative power of the movement. | hu_HU |
