A Minor

Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's analysis of minor literature, deterritorialization and agrammaticality, this article explores the possibility of a ‘minor poetry’, considering various interpretations of the term, and interrogating the value of the distinction between minor poetry and minor literature. The article considers Bakhtin's work, which offers several parallels to Deleuze and Guattari's in its consideration of the language system and the place of literature within it, but which also addresses questions of genre. It pursues Christian Prigent's hypothesis, in contrast to Bakhtin's account of poetic discourse, that Deleuze and Guattari's notion of deterritorialization might offer a definition of poetic language. Considering the work of two French-language poets, Ghérasim Luca and Olivier Cadiot, the article argues that the term ‘minor poetry’ gains an additional relevance for experimental twentieth-century poetry which grapples with its own generic identity, deterritorializing established conceptions of poetry, and making ‘minor’ the major poetic discourses on which it is contingent.

The Mind

Drawing on insights from relevance theory, the chapter explores how W.B. Yeats’s late poem ‘Long-legged Fly’ creates an exemplary occasion for reflecting first on cognition and then on the ways in which cognition might be made manifest in poetic language; in particular, here, in a dominant simile that repeats as a refrain through the poem. Processing the three stanzas’ different inferential, sensorimotor, and intertextual effects, we as readers at one and the same time contemplate in each case a body in thought, and we contemplate ourselves thinking. The poem in this sense repeatedly performs how a history-changing reflective moment holds a range of creative energies in dynamic tension. Relevance theory’s ‘loose’ sifting of literal and other meanings, in Deirdre Wilson’s words, allows us to become aware of these two processes unfolding at the same time, and in relation to each other, as is demonstrated in this close reading.

AbstractThe concurrence of different languages is one of the tenets of Rosenzweig Sprachdenken and of his translation activity which finds its main theoretical explication in the afterword to his ‘Zweiundneunzig Hymnen und Gedichte des Yehuda Halevi’ (Konstanz, Wöhrle, 1924). In the afterword to the translation of ha-Levi’s lyrical corpus, Rosenzweig outlines a translation model which, trying to convey all the morphological, syntactic and lexical traits of the source language into the target language, gives way to a real linguistic fusion which defies the limits and boundaries of expression and opens onto a redemptive perspective. On the basis of this concluding note and of some passages from ‘The Star of Redemption’, the article tries to analyse Rosenzweig’s idea of language and of its nexus with the idea of redemption with reference to Walter Benjamin’s famous essay ‘The Task of the Translator’ and, as a point of convergence, with Paul Celan’s conception of poetic language.

Poetic Language

The author presents some of the modern poetic language theories from the twentieth century. He begins with the idea that poetry, as a particular art of discourse, was (and still is) described alongside prose, with a difference in the use of language, with several close-ups and departures, in relation to the double intention of communication of language: reflexive or transitive.

The article presents reflections on the book Roman Osipovich Yakobson [Avtonomova, Baran, Shchedrina (eds.) 2017], published in the series Philoso­phy of Russia of the First Half of the 20th Century, which contains critical ana­lytical works on the theoretical heritage of the outstanding linguist and humani­ties of 20th century. The problems of the articles are considered in the current contexts of the humanities and in the prospects of contemporary philosophical discussions. Particular attention is paid to such topics as poetic, language, struc­ture, local development, structuralism, creativity, subjectivity. The creative pres­ence of Jacobson’s ideas in the humanitarian knowledge of the 20th–21th cen­turies shown in the interaction of scientific ideas and in the dialogues of scientific and national and cultural traditions. This confirms the universal re­sponsiveness of the ideas of an outstanding scientist, which most of all testifies to the demand for his views in the interdisciplinary space of philosophical and humanitarian reflection: the holistic coverage of the material and the desire for theoretical integrity from the very beginning were in the center of attention of Ja­cobson. The publication of the collection carefully studied the basic constants of the theoretical heritage of Jacobson – shows interdisciplinarity in action. The methodological gesture inherent in Jacobson’s research outlines and sub­stantiates the most important trend in the formation and transformation of knowledge of the 20th and 21st centuries – the growing importance of concep­tual interactions and topological aspirations of thought. These qualities of reflec­tion contain a path to the existential, anthropological, aesthetic and ethical as­pects of life: freedom of co-creation and freedom of existence can only be determined against the background of symbolic determinations – the human lan­guage, first of all.

The majority of the knowledge and philosophy of African roots find a great discrimination in public places in Brazil, rarely we see schools take in consideration those questions, popular knowledge and ways of living of those who follow those religions of African roots. Take in account that reality and seeking for changing it, the members of Abassá of goddess Òsùn of Idjemim, Paulo Afonso - BA, Bahia took the initiative of producing an animated stop motion movie about the Òrìṣà Òsùn. In this short motion “Òpárà de Òsùn: when everything is born” (2018) we can see the language of animation cinema being used to tell stories of Òrìṣàs like of a way clamouring the religiosity from people from traditional places and also a way of facing religious racism. In this work, we will present the process of production of a short motion, that took in consideration the bio system Caatinga and of the Sao Francisco river as a scenery of some events, staring from the sonorities and images produced by the people in the Terreiro and including the poetic language (could it be sounding and visual or spoken). From those elements, we reflect about the role played by this short movie on the empowerment of children and territorially as didactic and educative space.
