Bogusława Latawiec is the author of – among others – short prose verging on essay. These works reveal her attitude towards the art of words and at the same time they tell the private history of the ...woman writer. It is a dialogic attempt to define herself in confrontation with the texts of culture. Short prose by Latawiec has the potential of self-presentation and leads to working out of an individual poetic project. Bogusława Latawiec values this literary form for its fragmentarity, discursiveness, intellectuality and autobiographicalness; paired with metacritical reflexion it allows her to recognize and to construct her own identity.
Abd al-Wahhab al-Bayati is one of the most prominent twentieth-century Arab poets. His poetry makes a drastic shift from politically committed in the 1950s and 1960s to metapoetic in the 1970s ...onward. In his post-Nasserist works, al-Bayati interrogates the role of poets and the function of their poetry. This article explores some of the main metapoetic themes in al-Bayati's poem “Meditations on the Other Face of Love,” which was published in 1979. The article argues that al-Bayati consciously uses reflexive poetry as a platform to blur the line between poetry and literary criticism and to declare his discontent with the literary scene and the political status quo in the Arab world. The article also examines some of the poetry by Nizar Qabbani and Muzaffar al-Nawab, in relation to that of al-Bayati. These three poets provide a poetic discussion of “terrorism” against the hegemony of political discourse, and demand that Arab citizens reject their undignified lives by adopting resistance and rejecting terrorism.
La crítica literaria ha señalado la práctica metapoética como característica central de la Generación del 68. En ocasiones, se ha visto como una actividad endogámica y culturalista. Este artículo ...trata de desmontar ese prejuicio estético intentando demostrar la carga existencial que comporta el discurso metapoético de esta generación cuando enfoca cuestiones que afectan al lenguaje, a la ficción literaria, al oficio de escritor y a la propia actividad poética en nuestro tiempo. Se muestran las claves filosóficas que sustentan esta actitud y se mencionan los textos y autores más destacados.
La sexta olímpica de Píndaro contiene un relato sobre el nacimiento y vocación profesional de Íamo, hijo del dios Apolo y fundador de un conocido linaje de manteis. Exponemos en qué sentido el ...desarraigo que hay en el fondo de la figura del mantis conecta esencialmente con el carácter común o cívico de ciertos saberes vinculados con Apolo.
A partir de la metodología de la crítica genética presentaremos tres poemas inéditos de Miguel de Unamuno en los que domina el discurso metapoético. A pesar de no haber sido concebidos para su ...publicación y de que, en algunos casos, puedan resultar tan solo esbozos de un abortado poema, insistimos en la importancia de rescatar este tipo de documentos que, aunque privados e incompletos, poseen ese carácter íntimo y fragmentario, típico de las "poéticas de poeta".
La poesía posmoderna española presenta unas claves temáticas sobre los que sustenta su diversidad estilística; se trata de la metapoesía, la indeterminación, la kenofilia poética y la resemantización ...del tópico muerte. Aunque aquí se analizan por separado, tales mecanismos generan en su intersección los ejes creadores de la denominada generación del 68.
The aim of this paper is to give a series of theoretical approximations to the construction ofthe identity and the subject in lyric poetry. Our intention is to show that every modern lyric poem ...goesthrough a double process: the fictiveness of the self and the self-reference. To be able to perform thisanalysis we are going to use as an example some poems of Javier Egea.
The nightingale is one of the most metatextual symbols in poetry, but its meaning varies considerably from one context to another. In the works of some poets, the bird is a figure of orality, a ...symbol of virtuosity in singing. In others, however, it is a metaphor for writing. In classical mythology, the nightingale is the metamorphosis of Philomela, who after being raped and having her tongue cut out by Tereus, reveals what has happened to her by weaving a tapestry with images of Tereus's transgression. The bird is thus associated with silent signs that resemble those of a text. This essay examines the representation of the nightingale in three sonnets by the Baroque poet Luis de Góngora, and contrasts his use of the image with that of Garcilaso de la Vega. Whereas Garcilaso represents the nightingale as an ideal of perfect singing and as a natural analogue of the poet, Góngora emphasizes its writerly nature and creates a more complicated relationship between the lyric voice and the bird.
Pjesništvo Anke Žagar prebiva u domaćem književnom prostoru četiri desetljeća, a da se pritom nije značajnije mijenjalo. Njegov je kanonski status neupitan zahvaljujući pjesnikinjinoj stilskoj ...razvedenosti. Pridane mu oznake postmodernizma i ženskog pisma nadopunile su stilističku perspektivu, ali pod cijenu da su revolucionarnost lirskog izraza svele na književnopovijesne termine, onemogućujući time čitanje Žagaričine lirike koje ne bi robovalo naraštajnoj poetici prethodnika i suvremenika, riječju – previđajući njegovu modernost. U radu se stoga prate dva problema kao dva simptoma iz istog izvora: s jedne strane kritički se analizira recepcija Žagaričina opusa od prve zbirke "Išla i... sve zaboravila" (1983) do zbirke "Stvarnice, nemirna površina" (2008), dok se s druge strane upućuje na manifestacije modernosti u Žagaričinoj poetici. Modernost pritom nije shvaćena kao književnopovijesna kategorija, nego kao dijalektički produkt književne evolucije. Naime, modernost je relativan pojam i određen je suodnošenjem sadašnjega povijesnog trenutka i prošlosti, težeći nadići prošlost uvijek iznova novim rješenjima, a da pritom i dalje zadrži inteligibilnost.
Spanish contemporary poetry: An anthology presents a selection of Spanish peninsular poetry from the 1970s to the present day, with an introductory study of the most relevant poetic trends and poetic ...groups of the period, followed by guided and close readings of each poem. The anthology includes poems by twenty-two authors selected according to their literary rigour and with attention to the relevance of their work, a comprehensive introductory study, notes, thorough individual commentaries to the poems, and lists of selected vocabulary and rhetorical terms that provide accessibility to the anthology. The poetic selection is divided into sections and subsections in order to aid its pedagogical intent, covering: the poetry written during the transition to democracy; the emergence of poetry written by women in the 1980s; the Spanish poetic field of the 1990s; the poetry written at the turn of the new millennium; and some of the youngest voices in Spanish poetry today. English-speaking students working in the field of Hispanic literature, but also a more general reader keen on literature written in Spanish language, should thoroughly enjoy this work.
