@article{oai:iwate-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00010600, author = {Unher, Mike}, journal = {岩手大学英語教育論集}, month = {Mar}, note = {George Rosen,in his article The Revolt of Youth:Some Historical Comparisons,wrote, “The disaffection of groups of young people with their society is … not a specific phenomenon of the twentieth century. Other times and places have produced rebellious youth,social dropouts and alienated generations (86).” When we look at such disaffected groups in history,we find that wanderlust,the restless desire and pleasure of travel,has figured significantly in the characterization of each. From the Middle Ages we have records of wandering students and church clerics moving from town to town,university to university,and of course,from tavern to tavern. The German Sturn und Drang (Storm and Stress) groups of the late 18th century,which included Goethe as a member,were a restless,radical and noisy bunch of students protesting against the predominant “rule of reason" rationalism of the day,and enthusiastically sought out other believers in other towns. What do you suppose happens when youth combines with wanderlust and the sturm und drang of their own times? Rosen also remarked that in the US,“each generation has produced distinctive young rebels-the bohemians before and after World WarⅠ,the radicals of the thirties and forties, the beatniks and hipsters of the fifties,and the hippies and romantic anarcho-marxists of the sixties (86)." Moving away from something,toward something ‘better ',most of those disaffected groups have taken to the road,to connect with like-minded others,or just to see where and what the road might bring them. …Or,to satisfy that age-old overtone of youth: restlessness. Do goals,or what Aristotle termed the telos,concern such travelers “on the road"? In many cultures throughout history there have been countless reasons why such people embark on a journey-perhaps as many reasons as there are travelers. If the travel leads toward a quest, we are encouraged to regard such a journey with at least a modicum of myth and hero reference,given the long and rich history of quests in literature,ballad and legend.}, pages = {33--40}, title = {The Grail and Kicks : Gothic Roads, Beat Roads}, volume = {15}, year = {2013} }
