Dissertation Project
Performance Poetry as Empowerment - Self_empowerment through performance poetry in queerfeminist contexts in relation to liveness, technicity and mediality
This dissertation project aims to examine the function of the phenomena of liveness, technicity and mediality in performance poetry in queerfeminist contexts. The following two questions will be investigated: How are norms, processes of standardization and normalization reflected upon and broken up in performance poetry? What influence does the stage as an aesthetic heterotopy have on the empowerment of subjects and on the generation of knowledge? The aim is to focus on strategies of orality and corporality as central media procedures of performance poetry.
It is the aim of this project, firstly, to develop methods for the analysis of the empowering dimensions of liveness, technicity and mediality, i.e. phenomena of physical co-presence, corporality, orality and literality as well as technical mediation. Secondly, to show how performance poetry creates empowerment opportunities for people who position themself along the queerfeminist spectrum. The transdisciplinary results of this dissertation can be deduced for any analysis of knowledge generation in the field of performance poetry beyond queerfeminist contexts.
