Muris-Prime, C. F. E. "Translation and the aesthetics of prose poetry". Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2015. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1469277/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Translation is generally understood as the transformation of text from one language into another. But translation is also a dialogue between two languages, between two versions of a text, and between author and translator. Such dialogue involves thought on language, its usage and potential, and on literary creation itself. Poetry also involves attention to, and experimentation with, language and contains a constant analysis of its own expression. This dissertation examines this coincidence of translation and poetry and seeks to explore how translation, both in theory and in practice, illuminates the understanding of a key development in modern French poetry: the prose poem. It analyses the relationship between the practice of translation and thought on translation, and the development of the new poetic form which is prose poetry. It concentrates on the aesthetics of Baudelaire, Mallarmé and Rimbaud, and shows that in each case an intensely self-reflexive poetics is driven by an engagement with translation. Divided into two parts, the dissertation first considers each poet’s differing relation to translation. It shows that translation enabled Baudelaire to develop his own style, that it shaped Mallarmé’s relationship with common language, and that it sits at the heart of Rimbaud’s poetic ethics. The second part concentrates on the specific issues of the prose poem in relation to translation, and demonstrates that the form distils fundamental issues in translation and is in turn shaped by them. The prose poem oscillates between two literary forms, and is itself a form in translation, engaging with its different versions. Baudelaire’s, Mallarmé’s and Rimbaud’s poetic experiments in prose echo and reflect each other. The prose poem and its generation in translation provide a critical space where the three-way dialogue between these defining figures of modernism may be heard and examined.

Lamp, Sebastian. "Korean Sijo music and poetry : transmission and aesthetics". Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2018. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/30276/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis explores Korean 'sijo', as both poetry and music. It surveys the different bodies of research on the topic that are the result of 'sijo' long being treated from one or other of the perspectives of literary and musicological scholarship by both Western (e.g. Rutt 1971, McCann 1988, O'Rourke 2002) and Korean scholars (e.g. Chang Sa-hun 1986, Kim Tae-Haeng 1986, Cho Kyu-Ick 1994). Placing both literary and musicological aspects together, this thesis discusses the form, origins and content of 'sijo'. The synthesis of the two aspects forms the basis of my exploration of 'sijo' performance during the 20th century. My focus is on the transmission of 'chongga' - 'sijo', along with 'kagok' and 'kasa', that together form Korea's classical vocal music tradition - during the turbulent times from the late 19th century through the colonial period to the post-liberation era. The important actors, that is, the singers, scholars and relevant institutions - governmental and private - have been discussed at least partially in various publications (e.g. Hahn Man-young 1990, Yi Pohyong 2004, Song Bang-Song 2007, Kim Minjong 2015, Moon Hyun 2015), but this thesis provides the first thorough account of 'chongga' in the 20th century, its teaching genealogies, institutions, aspects of its preservation, and its regional variants. This thesis demonstrates that the subtle aesthetic of 'chongak' literati music lies at the heart of what constitutes 'sijo' as a genre; reference to Confucian and sometimes Daoist influence on the aesthetic of literati music is frequent, but the nature of such influence has not been adequately discussed. I survey academic writings by Korean and Western scholars (e.g. Donna Kwon 1995, Lee Byong Won 1997, Byung-ki Hwang 2001) to address terminology and concepts relevant in the context of 'chongga' and then, based on my personal fieldwork, and in order to provide a comprehensive account of 'chongga' aesthetics, I complement previous writing by incorporating the views of contemporary 'chongga' singers.

Nelson, Jac Jeanette. "Wax". PDXScholar, 2016. http://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/3015.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

In content, concept, and form, my collection of poems is composed of a number of thematic obsessions. These are: music, sound, and hearing; recording and surveillance; play and participation as described by Hans-Georg Gadamer in Truth & Method; the angel of history as described by Walter Benjamin; situation, inheritance, influence; aggression, antagonism, manipulation, control; fixity and mutability; eros, desire, and sex; conversation, the dialectic relationship of wholes and parts. You might see that all of these themes relate, that they each appear as one another. WAX speaks and performs all of these themes from that point where self and other--and where identity and universality--collapse; that single point of fear, violence, loss, union, obliteration, feeling, responsibility; that single point of possibility where we might discover a revised I, a new answer for "how to write we."

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis explores the past and present of concrete poetry with the purpose of finding out whether concrete poetry is still being produced in its original form, or whether it has changed. Concrete poets were not the first ones to create picture poems and similar texts. In chapter I an overview of earlier picture poetry is given. It and other precursors of concrete poetry are discussed and their possible contributions evaluated. Chapters II and III deal with the definition of concrete poetry of the mid-fifties and sixties ( pure, classic c.p.). They focus primarily on German, Austrian and Swiss poets. Manifestos are examined and individual poems are discussed in detail. The many different kinds of concrete poetry that developed after 1970 are mentioned without any further discussion.

Mathes, Carmen Faye. "Romantic descent : poetry and the aesthetics of disappointment, 1790-1820". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/54410.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Romantic Descent investigates disappointment as a minor, or non-cathartic, critical and aesthetic category in Romantic poetry and prose. Major aesthetic categories, long a focus of Romantic scholarship, have been understood to affirm individual self-cultivation and communal praxes of meaningful progress. However, recent work on affect has theorized alternative models for embodiment and relationality that have allowed new, radical and material, approaches to aesthetic phenomena. My dissertation critically intervenes in these developments by reconsidering Romanticism through its experimentation with disappointment as a negative aesthetic, and in so doing reveals a Romantic poetics of adjustment after the loss of an attachment to a self-affirming outcome or ideal future. Rather than start anew, such a poetics compels readers to persevere in encounters with difficulty, asking them to strive and struggle in ways both socially oriented and radically negative. Through close readings of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century philosophy, poetry, letters, and the occasional novel, this dissertation traces writers’ mobilizations and responses to aesthetic disappointment in myriad formal and conceptual ways: falling figures (allegory and metaphor); structural recursion (repetition and tautology); metrical irregularities (what Coleridge calls “downfalls”); and stilted or bathetic stylistic conventions. Such “descents” I situate in light of significant intellectual, social and political changes occurring in the period, including British and German responses to the revolutions in France and Haiti; changing cultures of reading; the tensions between philosophical skepticism and the Swabian educational system; and stylistic developments in Romantic theatre. As these contexts suggest, aesthetic activations of disappointment emerge on scales both national and coterie, and what is at stake in this dissertation are the diverse and unexplored affective relations captured but not quite contained by these writings. From Wordsworth’s sympathetic sinking alongside the suffering of slaves; to Coleridge’s projection of reading irregular meter as proprioceptive loss; Hölderlin’s calculated formal downturns; Keats’s affective reciprocity; and finally, Austen’s ironic censure of interrupted novel readers, this dissertation reveals how the critical and aesthetic category of disappointment responds to the dissonant sense between hope and fear, striving and failure, movement and suspension, that permeates Romantic literature.

Meloni, Gabriele. "Plato on establishing poetry as art". Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/9752.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Plato’s attitude on Art has always been hardly debated among scholars, and in recent times the interest on ancient Aesthetics in general and Plato’s attitude in particular has been even increased in the philosophical debate. The problem with Plato’s position is twofold. On the one hand he expresses hard criticism against poetry and he even banishes the poets from the ideal state he envisages in the Republic. That has been usually regarded as an illiberal, totalitarian position. On the other hand, the criticisms he makes of poetry seem to present inconsistencies among the Platonic corpus and they could prima facie appear to the modern reader odd, paternalistic or moralistic. Throughout my work I suggest to adopt a new approach, based both on historical and theoretical grounds, according to which it will be possible to resolve the problems that Plato’s objections to poetry give rise to. The historical and cultural context will be the focus of the first chapter. It consists of the following points. On the one hand I will first focus on different features that characterize Greek poetry, and on the other I will emphasize the pre-literacy of Plato’s contemporaries. I will also highlight how the ethical and political role, along with the educational function, made poetry the privileged source of information and education, and the ultimate reference for everyone in the Athens of the fifth B.C. In the second section of the first chapter I will analyze Plato’s teleologism, which I regard to be a fundamental entity in his stance on art. Such a notion, although not as much emphasized by scholars, plays a pivotal role in Plato’s arguments on poetry, I contend. This is especially evident in the Republic, where Plato’s criticism regards the flaws of poetry in teaching (Resp. II and III) first, and secondly as the main source of knowledge (X). In the third and last section of chapter one, I will face the complex issue of the alleged existence of the concept of beauty in antiquity. In this occasion I argue in favour of the existence of such an entity, both among average Greeks and for Plato, even though in different ways and degrees of awareness. After having provided the historical and theoretical frame of my approach, I will then move to textual examination of the Platonis Opera. In the second and third chapter I will analyse the so-called ‘early dialogues’, in order to single out the recurrent features of Plato’s stance on poetry. In fact, one of the main goals of my study is to retrace an overall, consistent view on art in general and poetry in particular among the Platonic corpus. While the second chapter is mainly focused on the Apology and the Protagoras, a special emphasis deserves the Ion, which is the object of the third chapter. I argue indeed that for the first time in this early dialogue we find a clear theoretical expression of a key-concept of Plato’s stance on art. In fact, Plato bases his criticism toward the eponymous rhapsode pointing out that the rhapsode on the one hand lacks the knowledge of the things he (demands to be able to) talk(s) about. On the other hand, the rhapsode lacks the knowledge of what poetry, as well as his trade, is. Such a ‘twofold ignorance’, as we will see, it is a recurring pattern in Socrates’ pupil. While the fourth chapter is mainly devoted to the analysis and comment of the Symposium, the fifth, sixth and seventh chapter present the detailed examination of the Book II, III and X of the Republic. They are respectively devoted to the analysis and criticism of the ‘middle dialogues’, the Republic and the ‘late dialogues’. Because of its capital importance for the purpose of my argument, I will analyze Plato’s criticism in the Republic in details and I will face different approaches to the subject. Afterwards I will confront them with my own theory in order to show that adopting my approach the apparent discrepancies regarding Plato’s aesthetics within the Republic itself as well as in others Platonic dialogues disappear. (And, on the contrary, this does not happen if the reader accepts the mainstream interpretation on the subject at issue). In essence: I propose to take Plato’s criticism of poetry not as an aesthetic attitude, but rather as a justified concern about the pursuit of truth through poetry, as if it were the main source of teaching, moral value, knowledge and information in the ancient Greek society. That is the core of my argument. The eighth chapter analyses the ‘late dialogues’, in particular The Laws, given the abundant of relevant passages on the matter. Finally, the ninth and last chapter faces Popper’s notorious judgement of Plato as totalitarian scholar. In this section of the study I will contend that Popper’s notorious reading of Plato’s political system is fallacious. Further, I will reveal that Plato and Popper’s stance on mass media essentially correspond. It is my understanding that such a fundamental passage will give the ultimate proof of the rightness of my revolutionary reading of the vexata quaestio of the ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry in Plato. Finally, the outcome of my investigations will show that Plato does not banish poetry because he is attacking it as a dangerous, free, “fine” Art. On the contrary, I propose to take his attack as the only way to release poetry from its educational and political context and to baptize it into the realm of Fine Art.

Calhoun, Randall L. "William Shenstone's aesthetic theory and poetry". Virtual Press, 1985. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/442604.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

William Shenstone's reputation has been dependent upon parts. He has been seen as a tasteful gardener who wrote verse, or as a poet who was also a landscape gardener. Until now, no one has studied his gardening, his daily activities, and his poetry as equal. expressions of one basic aesthetic view--the purpose of the present study.The Leasowes, Shenstone’s parental estate, became a popular tourist attraction during the early part of the century. There, tourists were able to leave their coaches and walk upon gravelled paths through "improved" nature. The paths followed the contours of his land, and Shenstone added small adornments like seats, urns, and statues. However, the Leasowes was a marked contrast to formal gardens of his time: Shenstone allowed no conspicuous display of his art.As a man retired from ambition but not from usefulness, Shenstone became an exemplar of "taste," a quality inherent in a select few, but with an ethical proviso. The tasteful man was able not only to live a genteel life, but was also obligated to act benevolently. These beliefs upon which Shenstone acted were derived from neo-Platonic philosophy, most notably that of the Earl of Shafteshury. The tasteful ran of the time was able to express his talents in various social and artistic ways. Shenstone, not surprisingly, became instrumental in editing Robert Podsley's final three volumes of his Miscellany, and he would probably have been named co-editor with Thomas Percy in the Reliques had death not prevented him.Shenstone cannot be considered a major poet not only because his other activities kept him from writing any massive number of works, but also because the good poetry he did produce was quite limited. He seemed, once past his apprentice state, never to be able to develop a unique voice combined with consistent artistic excellence. In short, his reputation as a poet must depend upon a relatively small canon and upon an even smaller number of verses that can he called poetry.Throughout his life, William Shenstone was concerned with art. It is not too much to say that he so merged art and life that, for him, the two could not he separated: his daily activities became minor productions and he strove for simplicity in art. Shenstone's aesthetic view was not original, but it was eclectic. He was fully aware of classical traditions, but he also knew the major aestheticians of his age--Shaftesbury, Addison, Hutcheson, Hume, Purke, anca Gerard. Shenstone's basic aesthetic--that the best art is that which conceals itself--was applied consistently to everything that he produced.

Abstract (sommario):

Whilst there is a strong emerging body of criticism on innovative and open form poetries, particularly from ecocritical and environmental perspectives, the related but distinct genre of radical landscape poetry receives little specific attention. Named by Harriet Tarlo, the genre is so far represented by a single anthology, The Ground Aslant, published in 2011, which includes the work of sixteen poets from around Britain. This thesis constitutes the first in-depth critical engagement with radical landscape poetry, and in attempting to unpack some of the genre's particular concerns, argues for the significance of Romanticism's influence on radical landscape poetry's treatment of the environment. I propose that radical landscape poetry warrants extensive critical attention because of its self-reflexive negotiation of visibility at a moment concerned with the ethics of representation; its attention to the land as something that is 'scaped' by acts of looking and representing, as well as its attention to environmental phenomena in their own right; and in addition, because of its interrogation of the relationship between the body and the poetic text. By re-articulating Romantic attitudes, radical landscape poetry reveals the divergences, congruities and continuities which link contemporary eco-ethical thought to earlier poetic and philosophical modes. The treatment of vision, visibility, the body and the environment in the poetry of the Wordsworths, Coleridge, and Clare, and the visual art of Blake, Turner and Friedrich, provides an instructive and illuminating context for reading radical landscape poetry. At the same time, the thematic and formal innovations of radical landscape poets provide fresh perspective on Romantic works. By positioning Romantic and radical landscape poetry in relation to contemporary phenomenological, existential and ecocritical discourses, this thesis offers new insights into both poetries, as well as advancing understandings of their relationship.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Circus Aesthetics examines the work of the African American poet Robert Hayden and engages with the problem of identifying different frameworks with which to think about Hayden’s poetry and African American literature more broadly. In 1978, two years before his death, Hayden, the first African American poet to be nominated Poetry Consultant at the Library of Congress, was still struggling and fighting with the idea of being considered a “black poet” and with the socio-political implications and expectations that accompanied that label. During his address to the Library of Congress on May 8, 1978, he reiterated his discomfort at discussions of whether he was or was not a black poet and claimed that “poets too are keepers of a nation’s conscience, the partisans of freedom and justice, even when they eschew political involvement.” Hayden has often been analyzed and read in the context of his racial, religious, or stylistic affiliations (as an African American, a Bahá’í, or a modernist poet). His poetics, however, are inclusive and engage with the exploration of a universal ethos where alterity is examined and celebrated. Circus Aesthetics argues that Hayden’s formal and thematic features are grounded in the African American literary tradition as well as in cosmopolitan and Universalist principles, thus making of him a rooted “transpolitan,” who defies notions of national borders as well as western understandings of cosmopolitanism. Looking at Hayden’s poetry through careful and sustained close readings, this dissertation adds a new dimension to Hayden’s work by thinking of new, hemispheric ways in which to think of literature and the intersection of time, space, and history.

Summers, Stephen. "Laughter Shared or the Games Poets Play: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Irony in Postwar American Poetry". Thesis, University of Oregon, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/18322.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

During and after the First World War, English-language poets employed various ironic techniques to address war's dark absurdities. These methods, I argue, have various degrees of efficacy, depending upon the ethics of the poetry's approach to its reading audience. I judge these ethical discourses according to a poem's willingness to include its readers in the process of poetic construction, through a shared ironic connection. My central ethical test is Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative and Jurgen Habermas's conception of discourse ethics. I argue that without a sense of care and duty toward the reading other (figured in open-ended ironies over dogmatic rhetorics), there can be no social responsibility or reformation, thus testing modernist assumptions about the political usefulness of poetry. I begin with the trench poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, whose sarcastic and satirical ironies are constructed upon a problematic consequentialist ethos. Despite our sympathy for the poets' tragic positions as soldiers, their poems' rhetoric is ultimately coercive rather than politically progressive. It negates the social good it intends by nearly mimicking the unilateral rhetoric that gave rise to the war. The next chapter concerns Ezra Pound's Hugh Selwyn Mauberley and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, fundamental modernist poems defining the postwar Anglo-American era. In contrast to the trench poets, I argue these two poems at their best manage to create an irony of free play, inviting the audience's participation in meaning-making through the irony of self-parody. Traditional ethical critiques of these poets' troubling politics, I argue, do not negate the discourse ethics present in these texts. The final three chapters follow the wartime and postwar ironies of the American poets William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, and Wallace Stevens. Williams, a medical doctor, makes use of the ironic grotesque in his poems to offer the voice of poetry to the disenfranchised, including individuals with disabilities. Moore, a modernist and early feminist, pairs her poems to decenter poetic authority, depicting possible ethical poetic conversations. Finally, Stevens's democratic, pragmatic ethics appears within poetry that continually invites its readers to fill in gaps of meaning about the war and beyond.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The main objective of this thesis is to formulate a practical aesthetic framework from Giorgio Agamben’s writings, and to use his concepts as an interpretative tool in relation to certain aspects of poetry in contemporary art. The specific category of printed poetry by artists is studied from a meta perspective, looking primarily at the gesture performed by writing poetry as an artist. A selective history of poetry in art looks at Marcel Broodthaers and the Bernadette Corporation, including the ways in which they can clarify the aesthetics of Agamben, followed by a shorter interpretations of three contemporary artist-poets – Karl Larsson, Karl Holmqvist and Hanne Lippard. These works can be defined as a hybrid third with Agamben, not art, but making the absence of art present. Works that are neither poetry nor art but with the availability and potential for both. An aesthetic terminology from Agamben is an aesthetics of privation and potential, of absence and inoperability, as well as an aesthetics of negation and resistance. A framework for looking at the tension between activity and passivity, and the resistance present there. The concept of potentiality also proves to be a fruitful opening for the interpretation of art leaning toward negation or withdrawal.
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Uppsatsen undersöker en samling filosofiska begrepp kopplade till konst, hämtade från några av den italienska filosofen Giorgio Agambens böcker. Dessa kan läsas som en estetisk modell, och användas för att tolka konst som tangerar aspekter av inaktivitet och frånvaro, eller befinner sig mellan konst och andra uttrycksformer. Poesi skriven av konstnärer läses här ur ett metaperspektiv, med hjälp av Agambens filosofiska ramverk. Poesins kvalitet eller effekt är inte det huvudsakliga intresset, utan den gest som skrivandet av poesin förkroppsligar. En historisk kontext presenteras genom konstnären Marcel Broodthaers och konstnärsgruppen Bernadette Corporation. De filosofiska begreppen prövas sedan på tre samtida artist-poets, konstnärer som skriver poesi. Agamben ger verktyg för tolkning av konst som dra sig undan definition och representation. Uppsatsen påvisar hur poesi, när den produceras av konstnärer, kan tolkas som ett motstånd mot konstmarknaden.

Abstract (sommario):

Critics often credit Ezra Pound and his Imagist movement for the development of American poetics. Pound’s interest in international arts and minimalist aesthetics of cross-cultural poetry gained the attention of prominent writers throughout Modernist and Post-Modern periods. From writers like Wallace Stevens and Gertrude Stein to later poets like Jack Kerouac and Gary Snyder, image and precise language has shaped American literature. Few critics have praised Eastern cultures or the Imagist poets who adopted an East-Western form of poetics: Amy Lowell and William Carlos Williams. Studying traditional Eastern painting and short-form poetry and interactions with personal connections to the East, Lowell and Williams adapt then progress aesthetic fusions Pound began and abandoned through his interpretation of Eastern art. Like Pound, Lowell and Williams illustrate a mix of form, free-verse language, and modernized poetics to not only imitate Eastern art but to create poetics of international discourse which shape American Modernism.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines attitudes and approaches towards death, as well as aesthetic representations of death, in Anglo-Saxon hagiography. The thesis contributes to the discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts of hagiography and considers how saintly death-scenes are represented to form commentaries on exemplary behaviour. A comprehensive survey of death-scenes in Anglo-Saxon hagiography has been undertaken, charting typical and atypical motifs used in literary manifestations of both martyrdom and non-violent death. The clusters of literary motifs found in these texts and what their use suggests about attitudes to exemplary death is analysed in an exploration of whether Anglo-Saxon hagiography presents a consistent aesthetic of death. The thesis also considers how modern scholarly fields such as thanatology can provide fresh discourses on the attitudes to and depictions of ‘good' and ‘bad' deaths. Moreover, the thesis addresses the intersection of the hagiographic inheritance with discernibly Anglo-Saxon attitudes towards death and dying, and investigates whether or not the deaths of native Anglo-Saxon saints are presented differently compared with the deaths of universal saints. The thesis explores continuities and discontinuities in the presentations of physical and spiritual death, and assesses whether or not differences exist in the depiction of death-scenes based on an author's personal agenda, choice of terminology, approaches towards the body–soul dichotomy, or the gender of his or her subject, for example. Furthermore, the thesis investigates how hagiographic representations of death compare with portrayals in other literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, and whether any non-hagiographic paradigms provide alternative exemplars of the ‘good death'. The thesis also assesses gendered portrayals of death, the portrayal of last words in saints' lives, and the various motifs relating to the soul at the moment of death. The thesis contains a Motif Index of saintly death-scenes as Appendix I.

Abstract (sommario):

This study performs a reading of Wittgenstein’s thought that integrates his sometimes sidelined remarks on aesthetics and belief, and emphasises consideration of language use on the level of practice. It analyses the many ways that Wittgenstein engages with the inexpressible or the limits of expression through comparison with poetry as a practice. The potential of a Wittgensteinian method of literary analysis concentrating on grammatical structures, exemplary forms of expression and quotidian meaning-making is shown by viewing several poets’ work in connection with specific forms of the inexpressible. This thesis consists of three parts. The first chapter surveys previous applications of Wittgenstein to aesthetic appreciation and analysis, and considers common interpretations of his earlier and later work. Incorporating a wide range of Wittgenstein sources allows a new reading to emerge that gives appropriate weight to his hitherto under-researched writings. This reading is tested in Chapters 2-5, in each case studying a poet or poets alongside a philosophical text or topic. Chapter 2 uses the negative theology of Pseudo-Dionysius to probe the ineffable; through Cora Diamond’s resolute reading of the Tractatus, Kei Miller’s ‘Church Women’ series and John Burnside’s intimate ineffable of ‘Parousia’, a grammatical understanding of inexpressibility emerges. Chapter 3 compares John McDowell’s minimal realism in Mind and World with Wallace Steven’s Supreme Fiction, demonstrating how Stevens’ – and Wittgenstein’s – rich conception of experience can close off a number of philosophical lacunae. Chapter 4 concentrates on the poetry of Jorie Graham, whose conception of the self is saturated with language. Parallels with Wittgenstein’s methodology are drawn, and some reminders issued to curb the excesses of postmodern accounts of subjectivity. The focus in Chapter 5 moves to the use of cartographical metaphor in Philosophical Investigations and Kei Miller’s poetry. The constraints of specific discourses on our thinking are examined, together with poetry’s potential for laying bare or reinvigorating the pictures by which we navigate. Finally, Chapter 6 discusses a selection of poetic projects completed alongside my research, to extend the reading of Wittgenstein into the area of creative practice. This thesis demonstrates Wittgenstein’s prolonged engagement with the limits of expression and with poetry, as well as the profit of a Wittgensteinian approach to poetry. It thereby questions a number of current responses to Wittgenstein’s work, and displays its own original creative outcomes.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation explores the social and political dimensions of aesthetic autonomy as it is given formal expression in Wallace Stevens’s poetry of the 1930s and the early 1940s. Whereas modernist claims to autonomy are often said to rest upon an ideological assertion of art’s detachment from socio-historical concerns, I argue that, in Stevens’s work, autonomy is conceived in relational terms, which gives rise to new lines of interconnection between his poetry and its cultural situation. Written over a period when the political efficacy of literature became a staple of discussion among a myriad of writers and critics, Stevens’s poetry offers an understanding of autonomy not as an escape from, but as a productive condition for imagining alternative forms of engagement with the historical crisis with which it has to reckon. In taking into account the cultural context from which Stevens’s poetics of autonomy emerged, my study aims to highlight the significance of the concept to the poet’s exploration of the tension between aesthetic and social domains, to his imaginative formations of collective agency, and to the vexed relationship between poetic and philosophical modes of thinking. By transposing the theoretical discussion of autonomy into the register of historical scrutiny, I hope to pave the way for a rethinking of autonomy and its relevance to the period’s radical and modernist writing, literary debates, and cultural politics. For this purpose, I draw on recent theories, such as those offered by Jacques Rancière and Alain Badiou, on poetry, politics, and (in)aesthetics, which serve to complicate the working definitions of modernist autonomy as literature’s immunity from the world, and to indicate an alternative path for analyzing its critical and contextual implications.

Abstract (sommario):

viii, 214 p.
In this study, I examine the various techniques used by poets to provide consolation. With Tennyson's In Memoriam, I explore the relationship between formal and thematic consolation, i.e., the ways in which the use of formal elements of the poem, particularly rhyme scheme, is an attempt by the poet to attain and offer consolation. Early in his laureateship after the Duke of Wellington's funeral, Tennyson wrote "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington," but this poem failed to meet his reading audience`s needs, as did the first major work published after Tennyson was named Poet Laureate: Maud. I argue that form and theme are as inextricably linked in Maud as they are in In Memoriam, and in many ways, Maud revises the type of mourning exhibited in In Memoriam. Later, I examine in greater detail the hallmarks of Victorian mourning. Although most Victorians did not mourn for as long or as excessively as Queen Victoria, the form her mourning took certainly is worth discussion. I argue that we can read Tennyson's "Dedication" to Idylls of the King and his "To the Mourners" as Victorian funeral sermons, each of which offers explicit (and at times, contradictory) advice to the Queen on how to mourn. Finally, I discuss the reactions to Tennyson's death in the popular press. Analyzing biographical accounts, letters, and memorial poems, I argue that Tennyson and his family were invested in the idea of "the good death"; Tennyson needed to die as he had lived--as the great Laureate.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

To study architectural space in relation to other works of art, the author aims at understanding how meaning depends upon the medium within which it is formulated. More importantly, the process of re-stating a work from one medium to another requires analytically rigorous study at the level of design thinking. In this thesis, Piet Mondrian’s sixteen Diamond Compositions, George Braque’s Studio Series, and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres’s Comptesse d'Haussonville will be studied as points of departure of John Hejduk¡’s two sets of architectural projects: the Diamond Series and the Wall House Series. Compositional similarities among these works will be discovered as the design means of Hejduk’s architecture. Moreover, these paintings suggest two design ends: C flatness and otherness. Hejduk’s poems about paintings and his architectural drawings will be examined as working media in which the two design ends are formulated. On this basis, the Diamond Series and the Wall House Series will be analyzed once again on the basis of how flatness and otherness are constructed in architectural space. In a way, Hejduk defines his own design means in the medium of architecture. It is noted that the re-statement of meaning in the medium of architecture involves both a retrospective understanding of the spatial structure and an embodied experience of the immediate spatial condition. Only when space makes sense independent of the references back to existing works in other media such as painting or poetry and the key design move is made will the readings of such works become architectural concepts. In the media of painting, poetry, architectural drawing, and architectural space, John Hejduk designs intention in its own right as part of the design process. Therefore, working across media entails far more than superficial references or fanciful representations. Rather, it is a serious investigation into the construction of medium-specific meaning, which the work of Hejduk clearly exemplifies. For the same reason, Hejduk’s work can be understood beyond personal or mystical expressions, becoming a tangible, logical, and thereby shared construction.

Abstract (sommario):

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo focar questões voltadas em torno de textos poéticos produzidos por estudantes que participaram do projeto Arte e Intervenção Social, realizado nas aulas de contraturno da E.M.E.F. Prof. Aurélio Arrobas Martins, entre 2013 e 2016. Neste trabalho, buscamos (i) examinar as ações desenvolvidas no projeto Arte e Intervenção Social, de modo a apontar práticas educativas relacionadas à educação estética, que visam promover o protagonismo, a autonomia, a produção de cultura, tendo como base linguagens poéticas; (ii) descrever o encaminhamento das atividades didáticas para produção de textos poéticos; (iii) analisar os textos poéticos nucleados pelos temas do compromisso ético, estético e da formação da identidade. Fundamentamos a análise com o apoio teórico de Bakhtin e Volochinov (2014), numa abordagem da linguagem que considera o enunciado concreto. Nessa perspectiva, podemos compreender a dimensão ideológica dos poemas dos estudantes. Recorremos também às contribuições do campo da literatura e da estética com Petit (2009 e 2013) e Vigotski (2010), privilegiando as dimensões individual e coletiva da arte, procurando entender em que medida a educação estética pode auxiliar em uma função reparadora de danos psíquicos e sociais. Com base na fundamentação, descrevemos as principais ações desenvolvidas no projeto Arte e Intervenção Social, dentre elas, destaca-se a publicação da obra Entre versos controversos: o canto de Itaquera, coletânea de poemas escrita pelos alunos-poetas. Nessa perspectiva, analisamos vinte e dois poemas publicados no livro a fim de entender de que modo essa iniciativa colaborou na formação dos jovens no que se refere à convivência social, permitindo-lhes assumirem uma posição em relação aos acontecimentos da sociedade, o que os torna cidadãos participativos e conscientes. A partir da análise dos poemas, verificamos que os alunos-poetas encontraram, na escrita criativa, um espaço de elaboração subjetividade e de resistência ao caos interior e a problemas sociais. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as atividades do projeto tiveram papel importante no desenvolvimento da sensibilidade dos estudantes e na formação de suas identidades. Acreditamos que a vivência estética permitiu que os alunos-poetas interpretassem o mundo de um modo diferente e que, a partir de suas produções artísticas, eles encontraram formas de expressar a resistência e de resgatar a própria autoestima e a da região em que residem.
This dissertation aims at focusing on questions revolving around poetic texts produced by students involved in the project Art and Social Intervention which had been held in extra-curricular shift lessons, in E.M.E.F. Prof. Aurélio Arrobas Martins public school, between 2013 and 2016. In this work, I attempt at (i) evaluating the actions developed in the Art and Social Intervention project as well as educational procedures related to aesthetical education which aims at promoting protagonism, autonomy and culture production based on poetic languages; (ii) describing the sequence of pedagogical activities related to poetic texts production; (iii) analysing poetic texts about the themes of ethical and aesthetical commitment and identity formation. The analysis has been based on the theoretical works of Bakhtin and Volochinov (2014), in a language approach that considers the concrete statement. As far as this perspective is concerned, I managed to understand the ideological dimension of students poems. The analysis also resorted to the contributions in the area of literature and aesthetics of Petit (2009 and 2013) and Vigotski (2010), which privilege individual and social dimensions of art and try to figure to what extent aesthetical education can help as a repairing function of social and psychic damages. Regarding the theoretical foundation, I have described the main actions developed throughout the project Art and Social Intervention , such as the publishing of the book Entre versos controversos: o canto de Itaquera, a compilation of poems written by poet students. In this perspective, I have analysed twenty two poems which were published in the book with a view to understanding to what extent the initiative has contributed to the upbringing of those youngsters as far as social interaction is concerned which also allowed them to assume a position towards social events and make them more aware and active citizens. From the analysis of the poems, not only have I noticed that the poet students have found in creative writing a means of subjective construction but also resistance towards the external chaos and social problems. The achieved results display that the activities in the project had a paramount importance in the development of students sensitivity as well as in their own identity formation. I believe the aesthetical experience allowed poet students to interpret the world in a different way and they have found manners of expressing resistance and also their own self-steem and of the neighbourhood where they live from their own artistic production.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The dissertation is a study of the poetics of haikai in eighteenth-century Japan. It is more specifically concerned with the works of Yosa Buson and some of his followers. Rather than being a study of certain poems, it is an investigation of theories of aesthetics and composition, and of criticism. Most studies of haikai focus on the short haiku (or hokku) form, but the present study is more concerned with the core form of this poetry, the long chains of verses called "renku" or "haikai no renga".

One important object of this study is to challenge some of the established views of haikai found in modern scholarship. For this purpose, many standpoints of haikai theory have been found useful, since they often approach questions of interpretation from new and unexpected angles. Theoretical stances that stress convention and traditionalism are criticized and the spirit of haikai is found to be more in concord with theories of cognitive poetics.

The dissertation consists of three parts. The first is a study of general haikai theory. In this part are discussed theories of aesthetics, theories of creativity, and a few questions related to the interpretation of this kind of poetry. This discussion focuses on those questions that are central in Buson’s own writing on poetics and puts them into a broader context.

The second part deals with practical theories of renku composing. An introductory chapter gives a historical background to many concepts used in Buson’s age, and this is followed by a full translation and critical study of a renku treatise written by his disciple Takai Kitō.

The last part is an investigation of modern criticism written on Buson’s renku. All existing full-length studies of these poems are discussed in comparison. The absence of a long critical tradition concerning Buson’s renku has, in many cases, prevented the formation of established interpretations, and this is ideal for a study of this kind.

Abstract (sommario):

Bibliography: pages 242-266.
The general aims of this dissertation are: to study a form of literature traditionally disregarded by a text-bound academy; to argue that form is an important element in ideological analyses of the poetry under discussion; and, on the basis of this second aim, to argue for a comparative, rigorously critical approach to the poetry of Mzwakhe Mbuli. Previous evaluations of Mbuli's poetry are characterised by acclaim which, the author contends, is only possible because of under-researched criticism, representing a general trend in South African literary culture. Compared to Linton Kwesi Johnson's work, for instance, Mbuli's poetry does not emerge as the innovative and progressive art - in both content and form - it is claimed to be. Mbuli and his critics are thus read as a case study of a general trend. Johnson and Mbuli mainly perform their poetry with musical accompaniment and distribute it as sound-recording. This study's approach then differs from the approaches of general oral literature studies because influential writers on oral literature - specifically Walter J. Ong, Ruth Finnegan and Paul Zumthor - do not address the genre under investigation here. Nevertheless, their writings are explored in order to show why particularly Ong and Finnegan's approaches are inadequate. The author argues that using the orality of the poetry as an organising, theoretical principle is insufficient for the task at hand. On cue from Zumthor, this study suggests an approach through Cultural Studies and conceives of the subject matter as popular culture.

Abstract (sommario):

A presente dissertação busca situar o pensamento de Hölderlin em relação à filosofia do idealismo alemão, na maneira pela qual propõe uma solução poética para algumas questões levantadas pela filosofia de seu tempo. Partindo da mesma exigência de reunir sujeito e objeto em um fundamento absoluto, o poeta procura um princípio unificador que supere as cisões deixadas pela filosofia crítica em uma reflexão que desloca de maneira original as noções e conceitos de Kant e Fichte. Ao apontar, em seu fragmento Juízo e Ser, o caráter cindido da operação do juízo e os pressupostos da consciência e da identidade, Hölderlin se move da noção de eu absoluto fichteana para um fundamento concebido enquanto ser, anterior a toda divisão entre sujeito e objeto; as consequências desse deslocamento sinalizam os limites da filosofia em suas posturas teórica e prática. Essa reflexão filosófica tem um exemplar desenvolvimento em seu romance Hipérion ou o Eremita na Grécia, o qual mobiliza todas essas questões em uma expressão estética. Acompanhando o percurso do protagonista em suas tentativas de recuperar uma Grécia harmoniosa, revelam-se as consequências e limites desse projeto de pensamento. Se o saldo do romance parece negativo, ele chama a atenção, no entanto, para uma reconsideração daquela intuição original do fragmento e para a compreensão da operação formal e poética da obra enquanto verdadeiro espaço de efetivação do projeto hölderliniano. Em um complexo processo de estratificação temporal que relaciona o tempo vivido com o tempo narrado, é a recordação que se revela cerne da atividade poética de Hölderlin, por sua capacidade de mobilizar aqueles conteúdos negativos em uma perspectiva positiva, reunindo os momentos particulares do passado em um todo infinito. Realçada na escolha do autor pela forma romanesca, tangenciando a vivacidade do romance epistolar com a distância narrativa do Bildungsroman, essa significação infinita do finito oferece uma original compreensão para os problemas da filosofia do idealismo alemão através da via estética. Desse modo, o romance Hipérion acompanha a realização poética de um projeto filosófico junto à fundamentação filosófica da poesia de Hölderlin, encontrando um vislumbre da totalidade a partir da finitude e da condição cindida da modernidade.
This thesis intends to situate Hölderlins thinking in relation to the philosophy of German Idealism, in the way which it proposes a poetic solution to some questions raised by the philosophy of his time. Starting from the same demand of reuniting subject and object in an absolute ground, the poet searches for a unifying principle capable of overcoming the divisions left by critical philosophy, in a meditation that dislocates notions and concepts from Kant and Fichte in an original way. Pointing in his fragment Judgment and Being to the divided character of judgment and the presuppositions of conscience and identity, Hölderlin moves from the Fichtean notion of an absolute I to a ground conceived as being, prior to any division between subject and object; the consequences of this dislocation indicate the boundaries of philosophy in its theoretical and practical dispositions. This philosophical meditation has an exemplary development in his novel Hyperion or The Hermit in Greece, which mobilizes all these questions in an aesthetic expression. By following the leading character in his tries to recover a harmonious Greece, he recognizes the consequences and limits of this project of thought. If the outcome of the novel seems negative, it however calls for a reconsideration of that original intuition in the fragment and of a comprehension of the formal and poetic operation of the work as the real place where Hölderlins project is put into action. In a complex process of temporal stratification that relates lived time with narrated time, it is recollection that reveals the core of Hölderlins poetic activity, in its capacity to mobilize those negative contents in a positive perspective, assembling the particular past moments in an infinite whole. Accentuated by the authors choice of the novel, tangent to the vivacity of the epistolary novel and to the narrative distance of Bildungsroman, this infinite meaning of the finite offers an original comprehension to the problems of German Idealism by means of an aesthetic path. Therefore, Hyperion follows the poetic accomplishment of a philosophical project together with the philosophical grounding of Hölderlins poetry, finding a glimpse of totality that arises from finitude and from the divided condition of modern age.

A presente dissertação tem por objetivo abordar o tema da arte em Martin Heidegger. Ligada à questão da essência da verdade, a reflexão heideggeriana sobre a obra de arte se elabora a partir de uma retomada da expressão grega alétheia. A fim de apresentar tal noção como uma intuição fundamental que orientará o percurso filosófico de Heidegger, nossa investigação perpassa os desenvolvimentos da “Ontologia Fundamental” de Ser e Tempo (1927) ao contexto da viragem (Kehre) de seu pensamento (1930), onde se situa o tema da arte. Nesta direção, procuramos abordar nos textos estudados, como Heidegger desenvolve suas reflexões acerca desse tema, principalmente no ensaio A origem da obra de arte (1935-36), onde o filósofo nos apresenta, juntamente com a questão da essência da linguagem e da poesia, as noções diretrizes de sua concepção ontológica da obra de arte, que por sua vez, diverge das teorias tradicionais da Estética Filosófica.
The present dissertation aims to approach the theme of art in Martin Heidegger. Linked to the question of the essence of truth, the heideggerian reflection on the work of art is elaborated from a resumption of the Greek expression alétheia. In order to present such a notion as a fundamental intuition that will guide Heidegger's philosophical route, our investigative path runs through the developments of the "Fundamental Ontology" of Being and Time (1927) to the context of the turning (Kehre) of his thinking (1930), where the theme of art lies. In this direction, we try to approach in the texts studied, as Heidegger elaborates his reflections on this theme, mainly in the essay The Origin of the Work of Art (1935-36), where the philosopher presents us, together with the question of the essence of language and poetry, the guiding notions of his ontological conception of the work of art, which in turn, diverges from the traditional theories of Philosophical Aesthetics.

Abstract (sommario):

What is the relation of image and word, of sentences and pictures? What kind of message does this combination produce when juxtaposed on a single material plane? And how do we read its “infinite” relation? These are the questions at the center of this inquiry. My main interest concerns the exact nature of the relation between photographic images and textual elements of poetic language when these are juxtaposed in what I call Phototext poetry.

The thesis calls into question the conventional reading habits of the conjunction of photographs and texts, and seeks to understand the more complex connections intrinsic to the relation image/word and its material and perceptual play in poetic works. Does a text always “anchor” the multiple meanings of an image, as Roland Barthes argues? What if the alterations of an image could “anchor” certain fractions of a poetic, polysemantic textual construct? Is a photograph indifferent to the visual, material permutations of texts that certain contemporary poetic practices produce?

I discuss phototextual works and collaborations of various kinds, from Molin fontän [“Molin’s fountain”] (1866) over classic surrealist poetry to language-oriented writing. This last interest also shows (with ambiguity) in the thesis’ two close readings: 23:23 (2006) by Swedish poet Marie Silkeberg and The Tango (2001) by American poet Leslie Scalapino. Throughout the study, I also put these in relation to other works of various, and related, kinds, such as artists’ books, concrete poetry, and phototexts in 20th century art.

My theoretization of phototext poetry focuses on questions of function. My perspective on the phototextual meeting in poetry is therefore concerned, not with taxonomy, but with local, contingent definitions. That is not to say, however, that certain things cannot be attributed to its particular, juxtaposed form. An “unthinkable space” (Michel Foucault), the relation between verbal and visual derives its dynamics from the different ways it actually makes itself “thinkable” and, furthermore, is materially represented. From Craig Dworkin’s conception of illegibility, Jacques Ranciere’s term phrase-image, and Roland Barthes’s obtuse meaning, I try to weave a network of connections concerning the reader’s relation to the photo/text conjunction. My argument that a certain phrase can cooperate with a certain part of an image, that a photo can “anchor” a specific meaning in a polysemantic text, and that the typographical appearance of a text may well have a plastic quality, also suggests a reading that focuses on systems of verbivisual parts and contingent intermedial meetings rather than the stable relation of a determining text and a determined image. In sum, I argue that the relation of photographs and texts must always be approached as a local problem.

My second argument is that the phototext is a self-reflexive form – it investigates itself, as it were. When a photograph and a (poetic) text are juxtaposed, they try to define their own media characteristics. In short, they often investigate the premises for phototextual documentation, communication, and aesthetics. The phototextual form therefore shares a photographic trait, as a “process of rendering observation self-conscious” (John Berger).

I also trace the supplementariness and discursiveness of the relation between image and word, and investigate how it affects our reading of this “disjunctive conjunction”. The text and the image run through each other, both inside and among us, as Rancière would have it. This, in turn, produces a contemporary approach to aesthetics (as a term and philosophical tradition) in this thesis, which involves the practice as much as the aesthetic perception of the phototextual combination. However, I also see as necessary to negotiate with the ways in which the image-word relation has been theorized since the early eighteenth century, as well as with earlier, even ancient, conceptions.

In short, the aim of this thesis is to conceptualize the relation of photographs and texts in phototext poetry, not by destroying the dualistic positions of the visual and the verbal, but rather by re-negotiating them: by approaching them as located inside as well as between these two media, image and text. The relation of photographs and poetic text, I therefore suggest, performs its work “inside” language, at the same time opening up towards the “infinity of language” (Barthes).

This thesis considers a selection of modern landscape poetry from an ecocritical perspective, arguing that this poetry demonstrates how the term landscape might be re-imagined in relation to contemporary environmental concerns. Each chapter discusses poetic responses to a different kind of landscape: gardens, forests, rivers and islands. Chapter One explores how, in the poetry of Ian Hamilton Finlay, Douglas Dunn, Louise Glück and David Harsent, gardens are culturally constructed landscapes in which ideas of self, society and environment are contemplated; I ask whether gardening provides a positive example of how people might interact with the natural world. My second chapter demonstrates that for Sorley MacLean, W.S. Merwin, Susan Stewart and Kathleen Jamie, forests are sites of memory and sustainable ‘dwelling', but that deforestation threatens both the ecology and the culture of these landscapes. Chapter Three compares river poems by Ted Hughes and Alice Oswald, considering their differing approaches to river sources, mystical immersion in nature, water pollution and poetic experimentation; I discuss how in W.S. Graham's poetry the sea provides a complex image of the phenomenal world similar to Oswald's river. The final chapter examines the extent to which islands in poetry are pastoral landscapes and environmental utopias, looking in particular at poems by Dunn, Robin Robertson, Iain Crichton Smith and Jen Hadfield. I reflect upon the potential for island poetry to embrace narratives of globalisation as well as localism, and situate the work of George Mackay Brown and Robert Alan Jamieson within this context. I engage with a range of ecocritical positions in my readings of these poets and argue that the linguistic creativity, formal inventiveness and self-reflexivity of poetry constitute a distinctive contribution to contemporary understandings of landscape and the environment.

Abstract (sommario):

Trümmerliteratur - literally “rubble-literature" - is a brand of literature that became important after the Second World War, led by Heinrich Böll, whom I term the apologist of German Trümmerliteratur. Typically included under this classification are the writers who began to produce in the years immediately following the war, and in whose work the rubble and ruins of the landscape figure prominently. Böll provided the programmatic framework for the movement in his “Bekenntnis zur Trümmerliteratur" but his relationship to another type of ruin writing presents a point of friction when he appears to be working in a romantic mode to describe his experience of Irish ruins. This problem was the point of departure for a new thinking of ruins. Discovering the strains of rubble literature in Grass and Celan presents the second part of this study, which dramatically recasts these writers, demanding that the presence and prevalence of ruin images and themes receive consideration. Grass's hermeneutical ruins, a reading of narrative gaps, presents the first level of ruin, separating the reader from the text's reliability and authorial immediacy. The next type of ruins that Grass presents is the violent ruinating involved in the the act of writing itself, whether chiseled into gravestones or flecking virginal paper. Similarly, Celan's images of ruins are produced in a form consciously resembling berubbled structures, with dashes and slashes often left jutting dangerously into the space of a wide margin, like the rusty reinforcing steel bars of modern construction. Considering these writers in these terms leads to the question of language and how they attempt to overcome the problem of a language manipulated into complicity in the crimes of totalitarianism. Finally, there is the transparency offered in the porous structure of the ruin. These houses prove incapable of providing the shelter or protection. The inhabitants are exposed, exhibited to the observer with all of the intimate contents of quotidian existence, the low objects of the everyday. Entrance into this interiority is a powerful part of what makes the ruins an interesting object for observation. In this literature of ruins and rubble the reader is offered this transparency, an offer of entrance into society's interiority.

Abstract (sommario):

Det talas om företag som konst: om estetik, kreativitet, immateriella värden, upplevelser och fantasi. Likaså talas det om konst som företag: om ekonomisk styrning, marknadsföring, varumärken, tydliga mål och genomtänka strategier. Frågan är vad som har hänt. Det var inte länge sedan konst och företag sågs som skilda världar. Konst associerades med sådant som frihet, originalitet, irrationalitet, känslor, intuition och geniförklarade individer. Företag associerades med sådant som nytta, massproduktion, kontroll, kalkyler, rationalitet, förnuft och strukturer. Idag ser det annorlunda ut. Idag verkar föreställningarna om konst och företag nästan ha bytt plats med varandra. Konstnären har blivit företagsledare: hon eller han ska kunna räkna, samarbeta med näringslivet, skapa evenemang, vara entreprenör och göra sig själv till ett varumärke. Parallellt har företagsledaren blivit konstnär: hon eller han ska kunna skapa visioner, vara kreativ, inspirerande och fantasifull, lita till sin intuition och kunna iscensätta sig själv och sitt företag. Utifrån litteraturstudier, intervjuer med konstnärliga ledare och företagsledare, direktobservationer samt en poetisk närläsning, studeras i boken föreställningar om konst och företag. Tre parallella tendenser i samtiden står i fokus: företagens estetisering, ledarskapets romantisering samt konstens ekonomisering. Dessutom diskuteras om och hur konsten - som praktik och uttryck - kan ge insikter om företag och ledarskap.

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo central a compreensão da estética particular da obra de William Blake (1757 – 1827), caracterizada por uma combinação de visualidade e discurso místico. Como Blake era um poeta-gravurista, o casamento entre texto e imagem é o aspecto mais notável das páginas que compunha através da sua técnica peculiar de impressão. As devidas análises serão feitas a partir de uma determinada seleção de obras compostas pelo poeta, levando-se em conta a sua filosofia particular, estabelecida em O casamento do céu e do inferno (1790), e a sua própria mitologia, cuja amostra é representada por uma tríade de poemas que podemos chamar de ―os livros de Urizen‖: O primeiro livro de Urizen (1794), O livro de Ahania (1795) e O livro de Los (1795). Serão analisadas não apenas passagens de seus poemas, mas também determinadas imagens destacadas desses poemas, tanto na categoria das ilustrações quanto na categoria das iluminuras. As discussões teóricas abordarão os seguintes tópicos: a noção de profecia como gênero literário, a relação entre o discurso blakiano e as heresias gnósticas, as particularidades da iconofilia blakiana, a tensão entre monismos e dualismos na obra de Blake, assim como a filiação do poeta à tradição dos pensadores místicos e sua relação com a própria tradição literária. O eixo conceitual em torno do qual se desenvolve esta dissertação está na chamada Bíblia do Inferno, ideia satírica que o poeta-gravurista concebeu como um símbolo estético de sua própria postura em relação aos moralismos religiosos.
The central goal of the present dissertation is to understand the particular aesthetics of the works composed by William Blake (1757 – 1827), characterized by a combination of visuality and mystical discourse. As Blake was a poet-engraver, the marriage of text and image is the most remarkable aspect of the pages he composed through his peculiar printing technique. The proper analyses will be carried out from a specific selection of Blake‘s works, considering his particular philosophy, established in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790), and his own mythology, whose sample is represented by a trio of poems that we can call ―the books of Urizen‖: The First Book of Urizen (1794), The Book of Ahania (1795) and The Book of Los (1795). Not only passages from his poems will be analyzed, but also specific images from these poems will be examined, both illustrations and illuminations. The theoretical discussion will approach the following topics: the notion of prophecy as a literary genre, the relationship between the Blakean discourse and the Gnostic heresies, the particularities of the Blakean iconophilia, the tension between monism and dualism in Blake‘s work, as well as the affiliation of the poet to the tradition of mystical thinkers and his relation to the literary tradition itself. The conceptual axis around which this dissertation will be developed is the so-called Bible of Hell, a satirical idea conceived by the poet-engraver as an aesthetic symbol of his own posture towards the religious morality.

Abstract (sommario):

O corpo na poesia portuguesa contemporânea. Uma temática atual que transporta na poesia do século XXI o corpo exposto em feridas, onde o lado visceral da palavra contacta com o mundo exterior e traumático. Esta dissertação, que analisa autores como Daniel Faria, Jorge Melícias e Vasco Gato, pretende desenvolver o conceito de “anatomia em crise”: o corpo do sujeito poético que se fragmenta e se sacrifica em verso para conseguir explorar o lado corporal da palavra. A carne é a nova pele, a nova fronteira. Somos forçados, portanto, a reequacionar novos limites da representação estética, e da subjetividade poética, através dos autores que surgiram nos últimos vinte anos, e que, deixam transparecer influências de fortes autores como Eugénio de Andrade ou Herberto Helder; Flesh in verse, verse under the skin: the body in contemporary Portuguese poetry Abstract: The body in contemporary Portuguese poetry. A current theme that carries in the poetry of the 21st century the body exposed in wounds, where the visceral side of the word contacts the outside and traumatic world. This thesis, which analyzes authors like Daniel Faria, Jorge Melícias and Vasco Gato, intends to develop the concept of "anatomy in crisis": the body of the poetic subject that fragments and sacrifices itself in verse to be able to explore the corporal side of the word. The flesh is the new skin, the new frontier. We are forced, therefore, to reevaluate new limits of aesthetic representation, and of poetic subjectivity, through the authors that have appeared in the last twenty years, and which show the influence of strong authors such as Eugénio de Andrade or Herberto Helder.
