Literary movements

The term Beatnik was coined by Herb Caen of the San Francisco Chronicle on April 2, 1958 as a derogatory term, and was probably a reference to the recent Russian satellite Sputnik. Caen's coining of this term appeared to suggest that beatniks were (1) "far out of the mainstream of society" and (2) "possibly pro- Communist". Caen's new term stuck and became the popular label associated with a new stereotype of men with goatees and berets playing bongos while women wearing black leotards dance. It should be noted that thousands of young people on college campuses and even in high schools came to regard themselves as beats or beatniks in the late 1950s and very early 1960s and many of them behaved in a manner very similar to that of the popular stereotype; indeed they comprised a cultural movement of sorts, apart from the literary beats, and often were proud to be called beatniks. ...more on Wikipedia about "Beat generation"

Bizarro is a genre of film and literature. Writers, such as Carlton Mellick III and Kevin L. Donihe, brought about the term Bizarro in 2005, to encompass literature and film that is seen to be offbeat or cult.

The work of film maker David Lynch has been embraced by the movement alongside the texts of such writers as John Edward Lawson (Last Burn in Hell, 2005), Mike Philbin (Yôroppa, 2006) and D. Harlan Wilson (Pseudo City, 2005). ...more on Wikipedia about "Bizarro fiction"

Many were fascinated by Aboriginal culture, and desired to improve the white Australian's understanding and appreciation of it. ...more on Wikipedia about "Jindyworobak Movement"

The Language or L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets were the most significant avant garde grouping in United States poetry in the last quarter of the 20th century. In developing a poetic, they took as their starting point the emphasis on method evident in the modernist tradition, particularly as represented by Gertrude Stein, the Objectivist poet Louis Zukofsky and John Cage. It should be noted that the poets involved largely chose to use the term, when they used it at all, sans equal signs. Critically, the use of the equal signs in the name of the group in any critical article is evidence that the author has only peripheral knowledge of the group and its activities. ...more on Wikipedia about "L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets"

This is a list of modern literary movements: that is, movements after the Renaissance. These terms, helpful for curricula or anthologies, evolved over time to group writers who are often loosely related. Some of these movements (such as Dada and Beat) were defined by the members themselves, while other terms (the metaphysical poets, for example) emerged decades or centuries after the periods in question. Ordering is approximate, as there is considerable overlap. ...more on Wikipedia about "List of literary movements"

Schools of poetry may be self-identified by the poets that form them or defined by critics who see unifying characteristics of a body of work by more than one poet. To be a 'school' a group of poets must share a common style or a common ethos. A commonality of form is not in itself sufficient to define a school; for example, Edward Lear, George du Maurier and Ogden Nash do not form a school simply because they all wrote limericks. ...more on Wikipedia about "List of schools of poetry"

The term Lost Generation was coined by Gertrude Stein to refer to a group of American literary notables who lived in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s. Significant members included Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson, Waldo Peirce, Sylvia Beach, and Gertrude Stein herself. Hemingway likely popularized the term, quoting Stein ("You are all a lost generation") as an epigraph to his novel, The Sun Also Rises. Stein herself attributed the expression to a French mechanic lamenting what the war had done to the country's youth. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lost Generation"

Modernist poetry in English is generally considered to have emerged in the early years of the 20th century with the first appearance of the Imagist poets. In common with many other modernists, these poets were writing in reaction to what they saw as the excesses of Victorian poetry, with its emphasis on traditional formalism and overly flowery poetic diction. In many respects, their criticism of contemporary poetry echoes what William Wordsworth wrote in the Preface to Lyrical Ballads to instigate the Romantic movement in British poetry over a century earlier. ...more on Wikipedia about "Modernist poetry in English"

Naturalism is a movement in theater, film, and literature that seeks to replicate a believable everyday reality, as opposed to such movements as Romanticism or Surrealism, in which subjects may receive highly symbolic, idealistic, or even supernatural treatment. ...more on Wikipedia about "Naturalism (literature)"
