Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir, à luz da crítica literária, a prática de leitura de poesia hoje. O recorte proposto em nossa discussão toma como foco de análise a leitura de poesia e sua abordagem crítica e analítica no contexto acadêmico das universidades brasileiras. Para tanto, traçamos um percurso metodológico que compreende os seguintes passos: 1) apresentar os impasses enfrentados pela crítica literária universitária, com especial atenção à poesia; 2) debater algumas das hipóteses mais recentes no que diz respeito à crítica de poesia; 3) pensar a crítica de poesia como prática situada. Neste último ponto, nossa ênfase recai na produção poética da periferia, sobretudo o slam poetry conduzido por mulheres, a partir da qual defendemos a hipótese de que ler poesia hoje demanda a inserção do (olhar) crítico no contexto social e cultural dos poetas, o que demanda uma expansão do ato de ler poesia para apreender questões que intercruzam o estético, o político e o ético.

Wer moderne Erzählungen, moderne Gedichte, etwa einen Roman von Franz Kafka oder ein Gedicht von Paul Celan, liest, ist häufig ratlos, weil ihm der Zugang zu solch künstlerisch neuartigen Texten fehlt. Hier setzt der vorliegende Band an, indem er literarische Kategorien aufzeigt, mit denen sich das wirklich Neue moderner Texte adäquat beschreiben lässt. Der Band berücksichtigt über die klassische Moderne hinaus auch die jüngsten Entwicklungen innerhalb der Post- und der Spätmoderne: von den subkulturellen Formen der Literatur (Pop, Beat, Rap, Slam Poetry) bis zur digitalen Literatur (Hypertext, Handy-Roman). Andreottis Buch wendet sich, schon seiner leserfreundlichen Darstellung und vielen Textbeispiele wegen, an ein breites literarisch interessiertes Publikum, aber auch an Autorinnen und Autoren, die nach neuen Formen des Schreibens suchen.

The purpose of this study was to describe the slam poetry classroom space and its meaningfulness as a tool for the construction of the perceived and embodied identities of urban American middle school students. The aim of this article is to explain how critical poetic inquiry can participate in the activist tradition of amplifying the voices of the oppressed when exploring the slam poetry classroom space and co-creating its meaning with student-participants. This research questioned: How does the slam poetry space enable middle school students to break through social barriers? How does the slam poetry space engage middle school students in the process of identity construction? Themes that emerged from this study include that slam poetry class provided a place to negotiate prescribed identities and the slam poetry class was a location for youth to create ideal self-narratives. This research contributes a pedagogy that empowers teachers and students to engage in collaborative agency and change-making through dialogue via slam poetry and critical poetic inquiry. The organizing structure of this article uses poems authored by the researcher and subtitles to introduce each section.

Intertextual Dialogue

After a brief contextualization of the author's biography, I present the volume Desierto de amor (2018) by Raúl Zurita, realized with González y Los Asistentes (music) and Massimo Giacon (comic), as a significant example of a hybrid literary product that mixes poems, music and comics. The transmedial and trimodal work uses different media that merge each other. The poem, a migrant text halfway between slam poetry and poetry in music, alternates and superimposes itself on music and poetry comix. Reflecting on the potentialities of transmediality and intersemiotic translation, I analyze how transcoding into other languages ​​brings added value to the poetic text because it creates an intertextual dialogue that produces a new reception mechanism. The visual and auditory reading takes place in a different space and time, with new expressive modalities and ways of reaching the addressee.

The dispute towards the meanings of citizenship and poetry is one of the main concerns of the slam poetry produced in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro between 2016 and 2020. This text analyzes works by Carol Dall Farra, Lucas Afonso, Luiza Romão, Luz Ribeiro, Mel Duarte, Roberta Estrela D’Alva, Tom Grito and Valentine and the context of their performance. It tries to foreground the mutually constitutive relationship between poetry and citizenship in the slam produced in these cities during this period. This relationship is grounded both at the level of the word, in the topics brought to discussion by the poets, and at the level of performance, in the enactment and collective pratice of slam poetry by the members of its community, its organizers, poets and audience members.

The article addresses poetry slam as an example of an oral turn captured in contemporary poetry practices that seems to extend the landscape of literary arts (Gioia, 2003). We investigate poetry slam as a phenomenon that mediates between at least two quite different (audio) language cultures – namely the contemporary Western literary poetry reading and a literary network, on the one side, and, on the other side, the rap battle connected to hip hop culture (other genres, such as e.g. stand-up comedy, could also have been drawn into the discussion, but in order to clarify our argument we have chosen to keep focus on the two mentioned). The article builds on a generalised perspective negotiating poetry slam as an aesthetic and cul- tural phenomenon in between hip hop culture and literary culture, but it also includes a close reading/listening aspect deriving from a speci c example, namely a performance by the 2012 poetry slam world champion Harry Baker. Positioning poetry slam in between literary culture and more popular cultural forms has previously been addressed by for instance Jeremy Kaye (2006) discussing the relationship between academic and popular aspects of poetry slam, Helen Gregory (2009) studying poetry slam in terms of interactions between avant-garde and established art worlds and Kathleen Crown (2001) pointing to poetry slams as subscribing to both popular and literary/poetry-based cultural influences.
