Making an Avant-Garde Composition: Intersections of Composition Theory and Innovative Poetics

Maloy, Jennifer January 2011 (has links)
The Making of an Avant-Garde Composition: Intersections of Composition Theory and Innovative Poetics, explores how current discussions in the field of Composition and Rhetoric intersect with the theories and practices of select members of the avant-garde poetry community, focusing on the issues of genre, identity, and language. It examines each of these issues by juxtaposing discussions of leading Composition and Rhetoric scholars with creative and critical work of avant-garde poets, identifying common concerns, and describing diverse approaches to creating innovative writing practices. It demonstrates the connections between Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's multilingual text, DICTEE, and recent scholarship by Min-Zhan Lu and A. Suresh Canagarajah on multilingual student writers in order to argue for more discussion of language politics and linguistic awareness in the composition classroom. It also outlines the connections between Harryette Mullen's creative and critical work and scholarship by Donna LeCourt and Roz Ivanic on writer identity to explore new approaches to interpreting and responding to student texts. Finally, it reads Susan Howe's The Midnight in conversation with leading genre theorists such as Amy Devitt and compositionists such as Robert Davis and Mark Shadle who argue for assigning multigenre papers. / English

Basil Bunting's late modernism : from Pound to poetic community

Niven, Alex F. January 2013 (has links)
This study examines Basil Bunting's development as a poet from his meeting with Ezra Pound in Paris in 1923, through his collaborations with Pound, Louis Zukofsky, and other members of the Objectivist circle in the 1930s, up to his meeting with Allen Ginsberg and Tom Pickard in 1960s Britain against a backdrop of social activism and modernist revival. In particular, it seeks to query the critical commonplace that Bunting was a sceptic interested solely in the autotelic form of poetry, and to argue that his revival at the time of the long poem Briggflatts in the sixties should be read historically - as a case study that shows the Poundian tradition of praxis and orality acquiring a newly communitarian, leftist emphasis in the context of post-war Anglo-American poetry. The study draws extensively on unpublished manuscripts and letters held at the Basil Bunting Archive, Durham University, the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas (Austin), and the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University.

\'No Poema\': um paradigma da tessitura poética de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen / \'No Poema\': a paradigm of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen\'s poetry

Steinberg, Vivian 23 June 2006 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como objeto a investigação da poética de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen através da série No Poema, sétima parte do livro Geografia (1967). A poeta joga com a crosta terrestre e a crosta da linguagem. Notamos elementos comuns entre sua poética e a de seus pares, por exemplo: a poeta denuncia a morte dos deuses e a crise da linguagem, há o desaparecimento elocutório do sujeito, o silêncio está presente como elemento da criação, a poeta persegue o \"ostinato rigore\" que Paul Valéry retomou. A poesia de Sophia tem pontos coincidentes com a de Hölderlin, enquanto poeta que vê a linguagem como casa do ser, com a de João Cabral, o \"ostinato rigore\", o silêncio como elemento da criação poética e o desaparecimento do sujeito depois da criação, com a de Francis Ponge, o gosto pelo concreto, por nomear precisamente os objetos, com a de Paul Celan, a síntese, com a de Fernando Pessoa, o paradigma da tradição literária portuguesa moderna. Essa constatação se deu a partir da nossa leitura dos poemas selecionados para a análise. / This assignment aims the investigation over Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen poetics throughout the series \"No Poema\", in the 7th part of the book entitled Geografia (1967). The poet plays up with the earthy and language crust. We observe common elements between her poetics and of her pairs. For instance: the poet reveals the Gods death as well as the language crisis. The subject has a discursive fading, being the silence present as the creative element. The poet chases the \"ostinato rigore\" that Paul Valéry had recaptured. Sophia\'s poetry has correspondent points with Hölderlin´s work while considering both poets: the language as the dwelling of a being. Similar to João Cabral is the \"ostinato rigore\", where silence is perceived as the poetic creative element and the fading of the subject occurs after its creation. Together with Francis Ponge, to entitle precisely the objects, lays the fondness of the concrete. The synthesis is with Paul Celan\'s, and finally the Portuguese literary tradition with Fernando Pessoa. This evidence has emerged from the perusal of the poems selected to this investigation.

Předmět v poezii fin de siècle / Object in fin-de-siècle poetry

Härtelová, Eliška Dana January 2018 (has links)
v anglickém jazyce This thesis is based on the Kurt Oppert's term "Dinggedicht" (in English "object-poem" or "thing- poem"), through which it views the transformations within the conceptualization of the subject and things in modern poetry. Apart from poems associated with the name of R. M. Rilke, thingness is also seen from the perspective of the functional use of the object in a poem (e.g. a thing as a tool of characterization orironization), whichis related to theuse ofobjects in figurativelanguage - the thing as a part of the metaphor, simile or allegory. As part of the definition of a thing-poem, the thesis also deals with the issue of subject-object relationship, which leads also to the category of a lyrical "I" in the literary theory. The thesis is based on individual poems which represent a concrete, prototypical way of dealing with the subject in poetry. These poems are delimited by the second half of the 19th century and the first two decades of the 20th century. The thesis is not based on strictly defined national literature, but it considers the German, French and Czech context in the comparative perspective.

Viditelné a neviditelné v díle Josého Ángela Valenteho / The visible and the invisible in the work of José Ángel Valente

Melicharová, Anna January 2019 (has links)
This thesis follows a topic of visible and invisible in the poetry and the essays of the Spanish writer active in the second half of the 20th century, José Ángel Valente. It situates the author in his historical and literary context and presents the evolution of his work. After that, it focuses on three of Valente's sources of inspiration and it outlines the conception of speech and artwork in Heidegger, the approach to space of sculptor Eduardo Chillida and the work with matter of painter Antoni Tàpies. The visible and the invisible are indirectly observed in Valente by means of more or less concrete representation and relationship to the reality, in visual characteristics, such as light and darkness, colours and shapes, and in the problematics of the sight. The visibility, the invisibility and the transparency directly manifest themselves in Valente's conception of matter and form and the word's manifestation and they also appear as motifs in his texts.

Imperfect indifference : the rhythm, structure and politics of neutrality

Carr, Angela 12 1900 (has links)
Cette thèse propose l’émergence d’une poésie de l’entre deux dans la littérature expérimentale, en suivant ses développements du milieu du vingtième siècle jusqu'au début du vingt-et-unième. Cette notion d’entre-deux poétique se fonde sur une théorie du neutre (Barthes, Blanchot) comme ce qui se situe au delà ou entre l'opposition et la médiation. Le premier chapitre retrace le concept de monotonie dans la théorie esthétique depuis la période romantique où il est vu comme l'antithèse de la variabilité ou tension poétique, jusqu’à l’émergence de l’art conceptuel au vingtième siècle où il se déploie sans interruption. Ce chapitre examine alors la relation de la monotonie à la mélancolie à travers l’analyse de « The Anatomy of Monotony », poème de Wallace Stevens tiré du recueil Harmonium et l’œuvre poétique alphabet de Inger Christensen. Le deuxième chapitre aborde la réalisation d’une poésie de l’entre-deux à travers une analyse de quatre œuvres poétiques qui revisitent l’usage de l’index du livre paratextuel: l’index au long poème “A” de Louis Zukofsky, « Index to Shelley's Death » d’Alan Halsey qui apparait à la fin de l’oeuvre The Text of Shelley's Death, Cinema of the Present de Lisa Robertson, et l’oeuvre multimédia Via de Carolyn Bergvall. Le troisième chapitre retrace la politique de neutralité dans la théorie de la traduction. Face à la logique oppositionnelle de l’original contre la traduction, il propose hypothétiquement la réalisation d’une troisième texte ou « l’entre-deux », qui sert aussi à perturber les récits familiers de l’appropriation, l’absorption et l’assimilation qui effacent la différence du sujet de l’écrit. Il examine l’oeuvre hybride Secession with Insecession de Chus Pato et Erin Moure comme un exemple de poésie de l’entre-deux. A la fois pour Maurice Blanchot et Roland Barthes, le neutre représente un troisième terme potentiel qui défie le paradigme de la pensée oppositionnelle. Pour Blanchot, le neutre est la différence amenée au point de l’indifférence et de l’opacité de la transparence tandis que le désire de Barthes pour le neutre est une utopie lyrique qui se situe au-delà des contraintes de but et de marquage. La conclusion examine comment le neutre correspond au conditions de liberté gouvernant le principe de créativité de la poésie comme l’acte de faire sans intention ni raison. / This dissertation proposes the emergence of a poetry of the threshold in experimental literature, tracing its development from the mid-twentieth century to the early twenty-first century. The notion of threshold poetry is premised on a theory of the neutral (Barthes, Blanchot) as that which is located beyond or between opposition or mediates. Chapter One retraces the concept of monotony in aesthetic theory, from the Romantic period, where it figures as the antithesis to changefulness or poetic tension, to the emergence of conceptual art in the twentieth century. Chapter One further examines the relationship of monotony to melancholy through an analysis of “The Anatomy of Monotony” by Wallace Stevens and alphabet by Inger Christensen. Chapter Two proposes a ‘poetry of the threshold’ through an analysis of four works of experimental, paratextually structured works of poetry: Louis Zukofsky’s index to “A”; Alan Halsey’s “Index to Shelley’s Death,” which comes after The Text of Shelley’s Death; Lisa Robertson’s Cinema of the Present; and Carolyn Bergvall’s multimedia work Via. Chapter Three retraces the politics of neutrality in translation theory. Against the oppositional logic of original versus translation, it hypothetically proposes the realization of a ‘third’ or threshold text, which also serves to disrupt the familiar narratives of appropriation, absorption and assimilation that efface the difference of the writing subject. It examines the hybrid work Secession with Insecession by Chus Pato and Erin Moure as an example of threshold poetry. For both Maurice Blanchot and Roland Barthes, the neutral represents a potential third term that baffles the paradigm of oppositional thought. For Blanchot, the neutral is difference taken to the point of indifference and the opacity of transparency while Barthes’ desire for the neutral is for a lyrical utopia that is located beyond the constraints of purpose and marketability. The conclusion examines how the neutral corresponds to the conditions of freedom governing the creative principle of poiesis as the act of making without intention or purpose.

Samota uprostřed davu: Charles Baudelaire a umění 20. století a současnosti / Alone in a Crowd: Charles Baudelaire and 20th-Century and Contemporary Art

Jirátová, Kristýna January 2018 (has links)
Alone in a Crowd: Charles Baudelaire and 20th-Century and Contemporary Art The dissertation called Alone in a Crowd explores the influence of the poet Charles Baudelaire's personality and work on 20th-century and contemporary art. Due to the field of study, the main focus is on the visual arts, but literature, music, philosophy, and film are also included to a large extent. This dissertation is divided into four substantive chapters. The first chapter, The Inner Message, introduces the poet's life, his family and acquaintances, as well as Baudelaire's poetry collection The Flowers of Evil. Themes of evil, ugliness, fear, death, and even a relationship to their mother, father and women are common for 20th-century and contemporary artists. This chapter presents Félicien Rops, James Ensor, Edvard Munch, Hans Bellmer, Francis Bacon, Joel-Peter Witkin, Kurt Cobain, members of the Young British Artists group, Lars von Trier, and others. The second chapter pursues the correspondence theory. The character of the Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg and his successor, William Blake, is followed by Baudelaire's understanding of sensual and spiritual correspondences, as his principles are adopted by modern artists in a distinct manner. The third chapter called "On the Edge of Society" covers the curse...

Like pilgrims to this moment : myth, history, and politics in the early writing of Seamus Heaney and Leonard Cohen

Ward, Caitlin 23 December 2008
This thesis examines the early work of poets Leonard Cohen and Seamus Heaney in light of their treatment of mythology, ritual, and mythologization, moving either from personal to political awareness (Heaney), or from political to personal awareness (Cohen). Heaney, writing in the midst of the Irish Troubles throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, slowly works up to political awareness as the situation from which he is writing becomes more dire. By contrast, Cohen writes during the beginnings of the Quiet Revolution in Quebec, from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, moving progressively farther away from the highly political and mythologized work of his first book. This thesis analyzes both poets first four books of poetry and how each poet addresses the politics of his historical time and place as a minority figure: an Irish Catholic in Northern Ireland, and an Anglophone Jew in Montreal, respectively. Ultimately, each poet chooses to mythologize and use traditional mythologies as a means of addressing contemporary horrors before being poetically (and politically) exhausted by the spiritual and mental exertion involved in the "poetry of disfigurement."
