The Celebrated poet and author of Can Poetry Matter?offers another bold, insightful collection of essays on literature's changing place in contemporary culturePoetry is an art that preceded writing, and it will survive television and video games . . . The problem won't be finding an audience. The challenge will be writing well enough to deserve one. In Disappearing Ink, Dana Gioia stakes the claim for poetry's place amid American popular culture, where poetry in its latest oral forms -rap, slam, performance-is transforming the traditional literary culture of the printed page. But, as the seminal title essay asks, "What is a conscientious critic supposed to do with an Eminem or Jay-Z?" In a brilliant array of essays that test the pulse of traditional and contemporary poetry, Gioia ponders the future of the written word and how it might find its most relevant incarnation. With the clarity, wit, and feisty intelligence that made Can Poetry Matter? one of the most important and controversial books about literature and contemporary American society, Gioia again demonstrates his unique abilities of observation and uncanny prognostication to examine our complicated everyday relationship to art. Dana Gioia offers insightful essays on literature's changing place in contemporary culture in this new collection." "What happens to poetry in a culture that no longer depends on books? Dana Gioia dismisses the standard cliches about poetry's precarious place in a society transformed by electronic media. Looking at both the literary world and popular entertainment, Gioia's original title essay offers an account of how new technologies and innovative forms of oral poetry - rap, slam, spoken work, performance art - are revitalizing the art in unexpected ways.

Este artigo forma parte dun traballo de investigación máis amplo que intenta afondar na historia do Grupo de Comunicación Poética Rompente facendo unha crónica do grupo, así como unha recompilación de todos os textos que Rompente publicou ou que ficaron inéditos ou esquecidos pola crítica. Aquí faise unha aproximación a unha das actividades de Rompente: a performance. Destácase esta modalidade artística, tanto pola relevancia que tivo no momento como tamén pola repercusión que ía ter este xeito de interpretar a arte de modo interdisciplinario (poesía, música e pintura) na creación artística galega de finais do século XX. Téntase facer do mesmo xeito unha pequena reflexión sobre o concepto performance. In this article I will discuss one of the activities of the Grupo de Comunicación Poética Rompente: performance. This artistic form is emphasised for the relevance it had at a given period and for the repercussions that this form of interpreting art by interdisciplinary means (poetry, music, and painting) had on Galician artistic creation at the end of the twentieth century. In the same manner, I will try to offer some new considerations on the concept of performance.

¿Cales son as implicacións para o espazo simbólico-cultural da Galicia do serodio século XX de considerar a suposta anomalía que é ter unha "abundancia" de poetas?. O presente artigo responde a esta pregunta ao propor avaliar a práctica das performances poéticas tendo en conta a invitación de Xoán González-Millán no seu Resistencia cultural e diferencia histórica a que consideremos os efectos das accións culturais nas relacións sociais. Esta estratexia permítenos entender a recuperación da esfera pública que este xeito de "facer" poesía conleva, pois rescátanse os poemas do contexto solitario e privado da lectura para traelos ao centro da palestra. What are the implications for the sumbolic cultural scenario of late 20th Century Galicia when considering the supposed anomaly of having an “abundance” of poets? This article responds to this query by evaluating the practice of poetics performances, taking into consideration Xoán González-Millán’s invitation to consider the effects of cultural actions in social relations in his Resistancia cultural e diferencia histórica. This strategy allows us to understand the recovery of the public sphere carried on by this mode os “making” poetry, since poems are conveyed from the private and solitary context of reading to be brought to the fore.

El doble sentido y la picardía, la utilización de términos eminentemente populares son inherentes a esta música desde sus orígenes, aunque es indudable que existen diferentes formas de abordarlos. Entonces, hay que buscar el cambio en el necesario reflejo de nuevas realidades, de lo cual la música ―como hecho estético― no puede escapar.

This article explores the role of poetry in working-class counter-public spheres by examining the work of South Australian working-class performance poet Geoff Goodfellow. Goodfellow's performances at venues like construction sites, maximum security prisons, and pubs create a public space for groups of people usually seen as excluded from literary culture and from the institutions of the dominant public sphere. Goodfellow's readings allow for communal self-reflection and deliberation on such subjects as domestic violence, labour issues, racial questions, and other topics significant to the changing nature of working-class life and identity, and they have had an impact upon corporate and governmental policy in areas like prison reform and labour disputes. His performances suggest the need for working-class studies not only to examine literature by working-class writers, but also to explore issues of reception and performance, and to ask how this literature functions in the social contexts of its production.

Close Listening: Poetry and the Performed Word brings together seventeen essays, written especially for this volume, on poetry readings, the sound of poetry, and the visual performance of poetry. While the performance of poetry is as old as poetry itself, critical attention to modern and contemporary poetru performance has been negligible, despite the crucial importance of performance to the practice of the poetry of this century. This collection opens many new avenues for the critical discussion of the sound and performance of poetry. Paying special attention to innovative work. More important, the essays collected here offer original and wide –ranging elucidatiions of how twentieth-century poetry has been practiced as a performance art. Introduction.

A literatura de cordel é um importante meio de expressão popular com valor informativo, documental e de crônica poética e histórica. O cordelista ao mesmo tempo é poeta e jornalista, conselheiro do povo e historiador popular. Os relatos cordelianos de eventos do dia e os folhetos de acontecimentos são o foco deste livro que registra os cem anos nos quais o cordel foi um comentador ímpar dos fatos significativos do nosso país. Mark Curran selecionou mais de trezentos folhetos, e os apresenta neste belo acompanhados de uma reflexão sobre sua estrutura formal, seus temas, seus autores, sua história, sua condição de arte construída como eco da história oficial do país, e sobretudo como reflexo dos anseios, sonhos e esperanças de seu povo. Este belo estudo é acompanhado de reproduções de alguns dos folhetos analisados.

En 1976 a poesía galega estaba a vivir un período de potentes cambios no que a renovación poética, ideolóxica e política camiñaban da man. A poesía estaba a decidir cál tiña que ser a súa relación coa realidade e cáles ían ser os camiños estéticos e formais a seguir, en pleno auxe da poesía epigonal socialrealista. Este mesmo ano xorde Rompente, o primeiro intento colectivo de renovar a poesía desde a convicción da vangarda permante. A súa proposta artellábase atendendo a catro principios elementais: comunicación, innovación, multidisciplinariedade e compromiso coa realidade. Fronte á poesía máis transcendente que logo ha callar nos anos oitenta, o grupo de Vigo aposta decididamente polo compromiso inmediato para servir como revulsivo na transformación da sociedade galega e por iso non lle ten medo ningún a transgredir calquera tipo de fronteira (formato, xénero, rexistro, temas, medio de expresión...). Neste artigo tentaremos explicar desde unha perspectiva historicista en qué consistiu Rompente.

La ensayista Laura Scarano nos presenta un artículo, particularmente lúcido, en torno a la poéticas del siglo XXI en lengua española. El texto atiende la poesía contemporánea en el marco de un hispanismo transatlántico, con un abanico de subjetividades, escenarios y narrativas, que oscilan entre las reivindicaciones de lo local y las inevitables servidumbres de lo…

El siglo XX se terminó –y el XXI empezó o, todavía, espera– con una crise de vers no menor de la que Mallarmé diagnosticó –y contribuyó a precipitar– a finales del XIX. El signo de la crisis, sin embargo, es distinto: con el simbolismo se trataba de una tensión no resuelta entre los instrumentos tradicionales de la poesía y la búsqueda de algo nuevo, de recomienzo. El mundo cambiaba visiblemente y a poesía buscaba su lugar en una situación demasiado volátil para su necesidad de pisar suelo firme. En esa zona de transición se carga el resorte que va a impulsar las primeras vanguardias. La crisis de hoy es menos un desconcierto que un compás de espero.
