What I want to emerge from the project:

“De-fetishization” of drug use/abuse through contextualizing the beginnings of drug culture in the 50′s and 60′s within political histoirical and socio-historical key political events and culture tropes.

What the project is:

Mapping the effect of mescaline and heroin on the brain and physiological effects beginning in the brain, I would like to illustrate these effects with the literary experiences of William S. Burroughs and Aldous Huxley in their books Naked Lunch and Doors of Perception/ Heaven and Hell

A time line of historical events may be included.

Anyway, that’s where my head’s been lately– check out this philosophy in Timothy Leary’s “How to Operate Your Brain”:
