Hultberg, Stina January 2019 (has links) In this thesis I investigate central features in Instagram poetry based on the hypothesis that it is a new form of literary phenomenon. The study analyses six accounts on Instagram, all dedicated to Instagram poetry, as well as a selection of feature articles about Instagram poetry and interviews with the poets. Through this investigation, four aspects where considered: the themes of the poetry, the variety of roles Instagram poets play in relation to their poetry and their readers, how representation plays a part in some of these roles, as well as how the poetry takes place on the platform. The form and display of the poetry are examined further through an intermedial analysis of the relation between text, image, and the Instagram medium. This thesis argues that the themes of Instagram poetry are correlated with an assumption that the poet is honest and credible.Instagram poets play a crucial part in making the readers view their poetry as honest and credible, and they establish different roles to create and uphold that image. Through the intermedial analysis it has become clear that Instagram poets work with other aspects beside text, which is a quality of the poetry that has not been noticed in previous discussions and in dominant ideas of Instagram poetry. In conclusion, the thesis argues that Instagram poetry also shares traits with popular fiction and romance, in the poets’ aspiration to first of all connect with the readers and provide friendship, self-help, and comfort, through the poetry and the Instagram account.

2	Dissensus and Poetry: The Poet as Activist in Experimental English-Canadian Poetry Leduc, Natalie 28 January 2019 (has links) Many of us believe that poetry, specifically activist and experimental poetry, is capable of intervening in our society, as though the right words will call people to action, give the voiceless a voice, and reorder the systems that perpetuate oppression, even if there are few examples of such instances. Nevertheless, my project looks at these very moments, when poetry alters the fabric of our real, to explore the ways these poetical interventions are, in effect, instances of what I have come to call “dissensual” poetry. Using Jacques Rancière’s concept of dissensus and the distribution of the sensible, my project investigates the ways in which dissensual poetry ruptures the distribution of the sensible—“our definite configurations of what is given as our real, as the object of our perceptions and the field of our interventions”—to look at the ways poetry actually does politics (Dissensus 156). I look at three different types of dissensual poetry: concrete poetry, sound poetry, and instapoetry. I argue that these poetic practices prompt a reordering of our society, of what is countable and unaccountable, and of how bodies, capacities, and systems operate. They allow for those whom Rancière calls the anonymous, and whom we might call the oppressed or marginalized, to become known. I argue that bpNichol’s, Judith Copithorne’s, and Steve McCaffery’s concrete poems; the Four Horsemen’s, Penn Kemp’s, and Christian Bök’s sound poems; and rupi kaur’s instapoems are examples of dissensual poetry.
