On Activity Poetry: a Study of New York School Poetry in the Mid-20th Century
by Jiang Yan
About This Novel
Since the mid-20th century, a prominent feature in the history of Western poetry is that poetry has been presented in a large number of forms such as sound, performance, and cross-media collaboration, breaking through the traditional poetry system with printed texts as the core. This is not only the transformation of poetry along the avant-garde and experimental path under the conditions of contemporary multimedia technology, but also the release of poetry's ancient "active genes". The New York School poets were the pioneer representatives in this transformation of poetry. This book takes poetry readings, poetry-theatre, poetry-painting, poetry-film, poetry-music collaboration, etc. As its objects of investigation. During the research process, it proposes the concept of "movable poetry" and conducts a comprehensive investigation of the complex genealogy, art form, aesthetic characteristics, spatiotemporal characteristics, archiving mechanism, aesthetic paradigm and other categories of the New York School's movable poetry, thereby revealing the origins and flow of changes in poetry in the post-printing era.
