If we look at the kind of protest that Ginsberg made, and the kind<br />
of protest the tropicalistas made, they are very similar – they talk about<br />
the triumph of love over hate, about individual freedom and rights.<br />
The relation between Ginsberg’s 1950s context and the<br />
tropicalistas 1960s context is very clear, as was said before – Industrial-<br />
Military oriented and controlled – and their relation with this context<br />
was also very similar – of confrontation and unconformity. It is no<br />
wonder then that the works they produced entered into dialogical<br />
relation with each other, as these works were a direct result of their<br />
coinciding opinions and ideas regarding the context of their lives.<br />
Ginsberg did not approve of the cold and belligerent approach towards<br />
life that many Americans had, especially the government, neither did the<br />
tropicalistas identify with the exaccerbated nationalism and silencing<br />
censhorship of the dictatorship. Ginsberg and the tropicalistas sounded<br />
the gong of discordance, and managed to thrive through it.<br />
