Hallelujah I’m a Bum: Rejection of Capital in Hobo Music and Culture

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This contribution looks at the figure of the hobo, tramp or bum as portrayed in American folk songs. Although the hobo has often been romanticized, the reality of this lifestyle in the United States, particularly during the Great Depression, was much grimmer and more problematic. Most hobos, at that time, were looking for work and hoping to accumulate enough capital to resume “normalcy”. Others, either temporarily or permanently, embraced this alternative way of life, even chronicling their lifestyle in literature or music and serving eventually as inspiration for not only the Beatniks, but also the Hippie movement. This paper also looks at a selection of hobo songs, particularly those which celebrate this choice of lifestyle and the rejection of the mainstream establishment.
