beat

Japanese: ビート

A lifestyle movement that arose in the 1950s, mainly in New York and San Francisco, which rebelled against the established social system and the middle-class values that were content within it, and sought the liberation of humanity. It can also refer to the broader trend of thought at the time. In literature, Ginsberg, Kerawak and others depicted sex and crime, recognizing the chaos of the outside world and their own powerlessness, and this was one of the beginnings of this movement. With its distrust of Western rationalism and its influence on fashion and other customs, it had a profound impact not only on American culture, but also on European and Japanese culture. →Hippie→Related topics San Francisco | Snyder | Burroughs | Bukowski | Miller

Also known as table beet. A biennial herb of the Chenopodiaceae family native to southern Europe. The basal leaves are stalked and oblong-ovate. In early summer, flower stalks about 1m tall emerge, producing many small yellow-green flowers. The roots are fleshy and spherical or spindle-shaped, the skin is red, orange yellow, or brownish purple, and the flesh is red, white, or gray, depending on the variety. Many have ring patterns on their cross sections. It is an essential ingredient in the Russian dish borsch, and is also boiled and used as a garnish for meat dishes, or pickled in vinegar for salads. It belongs to the same species as Swiss chard and sugar beet, and in Japan it is sometimes called sugar beet.

1950年代，ニューヨーク，サンフランシスコを中心に興った，既成の社会体制とそこに安住する中産階級的な価値観に反抗し，人間性の解放を求めた生活運動。あるいは広く当時の時代思潮をさす。文学では，ギンズバーグ，ケラワックらが外界の混沌(こんとん)と自己の無力感の認識の下に，性や犯罪などを描き，その端緒の一つとなった。西洋の合理主義に対する不信，あるいはファッションなど風俗のレベルで，以後米国だけでなく，ヨーロッパや日本の文化にも深い影響を残した。→ヒッピー
