Body·universe: the Image of the Body in Modern and Contemporary Western Poetry
About This Novel
The body is one of the important expression objects of modernity. Whether in popular culture or avant-garde culture, the worship of the body has long become a consensus. Michel Gaurot, a well-known French professor and poet, distinguished two competing trends within modern body poetics: one that pits the body against the spirit, and the other that regards the body as an intermediary between the spirit and the world. By analyzing typical works that establish the image of the body and the universe, as well as his own writing practice, and combining the phenomenological concept of "flesh", the author extracts the characteristics and artistic tendencies of a "corporeal poetics" and clarifies the central position of the body in contemporary poetics and philosophy. This closely integrates body and soul, self and world, text and spirit, and points out a clear way for us to enter the depth of modern poetry.
