Experimental Feminist / Woman's Poetry
This course is aimed at studying experimental feminist/ woman’s poetry made between the 1980s and 2010s in various poetic cultures as well as in Russophone literary environments. How does a pursuit for a radical change of a poetic form correlate with sensitivity to language policies, discourses of power, and language violence? Can feminist poetry be ‘complex’ and inclusive at the same time? This and other questions will be discussed during the seminar by referring to works on literary criticism, essays, and manifestos (written by contemporary poets and researchers), which provide various optics on the functioning and transformation of woman’s* poetic subjectivity, a role of language and formal experiment in feminist writing. Poetry: Bhanu Kapil, Dragica Rajcič, Cecilia Vicuña, Herta Müller, Inger Christensen, Ersi Sotiropoulos, Aase Berg, Anne-Marie Albiach, Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Rosemarie Waldrope, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Lyn Hejinian, Sasha Dugdale, Marina Tyomkina, Elizaveta Mnatsakanova (Mnatsakanjan), Lida Yusupova, Polina Andrukovich, etc. Theory and essay: Nicole Brossard, Dubravka Djuric, Kathleen Fraser, Joan Retallack, Hélène Cixous, Lyn Hejinian, Rachel Blau DuPlessis, etc. Participation in the course implies completing creative homework assignments and final creative work, as well as discussing them at seminars.
