  1. MODES OF READING HOWL: LECTURE 2 IDEOLOGY PROFESSOR EMMA MASON

  2. ah, Carl, while you are not safe I am not safe, and now you're really in the total animal soup of time—and who therefore ran through the icy streets obsessed with a sudden flash of the alchemy of the use of the ellipse the catalog the meter & the vibrating plane,

  3. who dreamt and made incarnate gaps in Time & Space through images juxtaposed, and trapped the archangel of the soul between 2 visual images and joined the elemental verbs and set the noun and dash of consciousness together jumping with sensation of Pater Omnipotens Aeterna Deus

  4. to recreate the syntax and measure of poor human prose and stand before you speechless and intelligent and shaking with shame, rejected yet confessing out the soul to conform to the rhythm of thought in his naked and endless head,

  5. IDEOLOGY

  6. ‘The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it.’ – Marx and Engels, The German Ideology (1845-1846)

  7. Beat poetry • Beat of poetic rhythm – also known as typewriter jazz • Beat of being beaten down, psychologically, socially, politically • Spiritual beat from word ‘beatitude’, or blessings

  8. Ginsberg, “When the Mode of the Music Changes the Walls of the City Shake”, inTheSecond Coming Magazine (1961)

  9. ‘The newest song which the singers have, they will be afraid that he may be praising, not new songs, but a new kind of song; and this ought not to be praised, or conceived to be the meaning of the poet; for any musical innovation is full of danger to the whole State, and ought to be prohibited . . . when modes of music change, of the State always change with them.’ – Plato, The Republic, book 4

  10. ‘On Walt Whitman, Composed on the Tongue, or Taking a Walk Through Leaves of Grass’ (1980)

  11. ‘Your Reason and Blake’s System’ (1988)

  12. the madman bum and angel beat in Time, unknown, yet putting down here what might be left to say in time come after death,and rose incarnate in the ghostly clothes of jazz in the goldhorn shadow of the band and blew the suffering of America's naked mind for love into an eli eli lamma lamma sabacthani saxophone cry that shivered the cities down to the last radio

  13. and rose incarnate in the ghostly clothes of jazz in the goldhorn shadow of the band and blew the suffering of America's naked mind for love into an eli eli lamma lamma sabacthani saxophone cry that shivered the cities down to the last radio

  14. and rose incarnate in the ghostly clothes of jazz in the goldhorn shadow of the band and blew the suffering of America's naked mind for love into an eli eli lamma lamma sabacthani saxophone cry that shivered the cities down to the last radio ‘Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying,  “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is,  “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”’ (Matthew 27. 45–46)
