Abstract:
The objective of this monograph is to point out references and citations related to the Beat Generation within the musical and audiovisual work of the American singer Lana Del Rey, specifically in the period when the singer released her EP (Extended play) Paradise, an EP is a music project that doesn't feature enough songs to be considered an album. The Beat Generation was a countercultural movement that took place in the United States in the 1950s, originated in literature, but using the theory of intermediality, applied in literature, with Clüver (2007), but mainly based on studies by researcher Irina Rajewsky (2012), which subdivides theory into three subcategories to facilitate analysis, we will see that the movement spread and became part of other artistic movements. To understand what the Beat Generation was, we use data provided by researchers such as Almeida (2007), Junior (2013) and Zhang (2013), which gives us information for a better understanding of the origin of the movement and its influences. Therefore, we will use Rajewsky's concept to analyze where the Beat Generation is present, with its intermediality, in Del Rey's music and videos, mainly in the EP Paradise (2012), in the short film for the song Ride (2012) and in the short film film Tropico (2013), thus proving that Generation is still present today and that it is possible to use literature in popular music.
