POETRY, EXPERIMENTATION, AND ALTERITY Call for papers

INTRODUCTION:
The Western tradition of poetry has been associated with subjective expression, individual
identity, and what Hegel called ‘the inner movements of the subject’s soul’ in his definition of the genre.
In our intended volume, we plan to discuss what happens in experimental poetry when poetic utterances
turn their attention to alterity, whether it is represented as a tradition for the purposes of dialogue, as a
diversity of voices or presences within the poem, as a specific link to the reader or as traces of identities
that are not conventionally associated with lyricism.
With this purpose in mind, we invite you to submit proposals for papers that either deal with the
links between poetry and alterity within the field of Catalan Studies or develop theoretical approaches
applicable to the Catalan field. We are interested in contributions that deal with formal aspects of
experimental poetry (visuality, non-linearity, interplay with the language and medium) or that look at its
role as a cultural product, uniting discourse on gender, the concept of authorship, and the functions of
literature and criticism.
Only a limited number of research papers will be accepted (10-12). These must have a high
theoretical content and be based on one of the following subjects:
• Experimentalism as a form of deviation
• Dialogism and polyphony in poetry
• Poetry and alterity: thematic approaches
• Poetry and the readership: paratexts, contexts and means of diffusion
• Poetry and its reception. The reader within the framework of the poem. References and co-references
• Poetry and its reception. Specific perceptive mechanisms in experimental poetry
• Constructing experimental poetics
• Poetry and non-lyrical subjects
• The appropriation and subversion of tradition
• Translation and interference
• The quest for experimental aesthetics
All articles will be sent for independent peer review by the Editors, regardless of any review
conducted by the coordinators.
COORDINATORS:
Xavier Barceló, Mercè Picornell and Margalida Pons.
Contact: poetiquesderuptura@gmail.com
An initiative proposed by the LiCECT research group (Universitat de les Illes Balears), associated
with the research project ‘Experimental Catalan Poetry 1970-1990: Discourses, Representations,
Reception, Means of Diffusion, and Sociocultural Frameworks’ (a competitive project funded by the
Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología MCI, FFI2009-07086). Details of current research and activities
(publications, conferences etc.) can be found on the group’s website
<http://www.uib.es/depart/dfc/litecont/index.html>. For further details of the corpus of experimental
poetry under study in this project, please see the project website
<http://www.uib.es/catedra/camv/pec/>.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Proposals for papers should include a title and a 300-word abstract, together with a brief list of
bibliographical references and a short biography of the applicant. Proposals should be received by
October 1st 2011 and the authors will be notified of the acceptance/rejection of their abstracts
by October 15th 2011. Completed papers should be received by March 15th 2012, after which they will
be sent for peer review. Papers will be accepted in Catalan and English. Accepted proposals will be
included as a cluster in the international peer reviewed journal Catalan Review. In addition, depending on
the number and quality of the proposals received, the possibility of incorporating them in a multi-author
monograph will be considered.

Performing Poetry

Performing Poetry
Body, Place and Rhythm in the Poetry Performance
Edited by Cornelia Gräbner and Arturo Casas

Over the past decades, the poetry performance has developed into an increasingly popular, diverse, and complex art form. In theoretical and critical discourse, it is referred to as performance poetry, spoken word poetry, and polipoesía; some theorists argue that it is an independent poetic genre, others treat it as a contemporary manifestation of oral poetry or of the poetry recital. The essays collected in this volume take up the challenge that the poetry performance poses to literary theory. Coming from a variety of disciplines, including Literary Studies, Theater Studies, and Area Studies, contributors develop new approaches and analytical categories for the poetry performance. They draw on case studies from a variety of contexts and in several languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Catalan, English, French, Galician, and Spanish. Essays are organized in three sections, which focus on critical and theoretical approaches to the poetry performance, on the mediatic hybridity of this art form, and on the ways in which the poetry performance negotiates locatedness through engagements with space and place. The structure of the volume intersperses essays on theory and analysis with self-reflexive essays from performance poets on their own performance practice.

Cornelia Gräbner is Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at Lancaster University, U.K. She has published on performance poetry, committed scholarship, and resistance poetry. Her current research interests focus on contemporary European, Latin American, and North American literature. She works on performance poetry, committed writing, literature of the alterglobalisation movement, literary engagements with the dirty wars in Latin America, and representations of megacities in literature. She is a member of the international network Poetics of Resistance.

Arturo Casas is Senior Lecturer in Literary Theory and coordinator of the Centre for Research on Emergent Cultural Practices and Processes at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain. His current fields of research are the debate on literary history, modern and postmodern aesthetic thought, contemporary essayistics, the Spanish Republican exile, and non-lyric poetry. His latest work, Resistance and Emancipation: Cultural and Poetic Practices, edited in collaboration with Ben Bollig, is forthcoming from Peter Lang. He is a member of the international network Poetics of Resistance.
