SoSe 16: Post-Crisis Poetics
Sean Bonney
Comments
The ongoing crises following the 2008 financial crash have had a profound effect on questions relating to American avant-garde and experimental poetics, just as they have on most other areas of public and private life. Since the 1970s the primary focus of politically engaged radical poets, most famously those associated with the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E movement, had been formal and syntactical questions, leading to a hermetic poetics that favoured textual fetishism over social engagement, with the assumption that a radical aesthetics always implied a radical political commitment. For a younger generation such assumptions have begun to seem insufficient, if not downright false: questions of content have gained more importance, and in particular how to use that content without sacrificing the syntactical and textual complexity that have always characterized avant-garde poetics. close
