Re-Creating Paul Bowles, the Other, and the Imagination - Music, Film, and Photography

Informationen zum Autor Dr. Raj Chandarlapaty studied at the University of South Florida and taught literature, writing, and philosophy courses in the United States and Afghanistan for 17 years. In Kabul, Afghanistan, he was awarded the Most Promising Teacher award in his first year. Dr. Chandarlapaty has since authored four books, which include 'Psychedelic Modernism: Literature and Film,' 'Seeing The Beat Generation,' 'Re-Creating Paul Bowles, the Other, and the Imagination,' and 'The Beat Generation and Counterculture.' He is most interested in American and British authors who write in the fault lines between modernism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism. Dr. Chandarlapaty has published ten journal articles, including 'ARIEL,' 'The Mailer Review,' 'Storytelling, Self, and Society,' and 'The Journal of Urban Education.' With articles on Norman Mailer, Mohammed Mrabet, James Baldwin, and Allen Ginsberg, Chandarlapaty is an accomplished essayist who studies books and articles from the perspective of critical theory and unconscious literary formation. Not borne of any one period, Chandarlapaty chooses to call himself a modernist, and refers to humankind's incomplete formation of ideas and culture. Klappentext This work underscores the true brilliance and timelessness of colonial metaphors of authorship that extend into the postmodern Age. The emphasis is upon both re-invention and comprehensive scholarship on music and film.
