I'll talk about this being a pre- guard means david antin
sometimes I'll put names to uppercase letters and the beginning of sentences
sometimes not
Nijinsky in his diary put god in lower case and upper case his mentor Diaghilev
- - no, I do not like the term avant-garde, too
because I made the army
but david antin is grammarian
there were also poets grammarians to al-Andalusian
all poets and grammarians
behind what being avant-garde means,
there is the book Bourdieu, the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, what speaking means that is a book about how men talk among themselves
what being avant-garde means is a poetic essay and a book of poetic
a masterful book published two years ago by the presses the real dijon
/////////////////////////////
david antin is an American poet who lives in california
he was directly influenced by the poetry of john cage, including silence, which is a book of poetry, before being a book on music
David Antin did not invent the talk poems
there was talk of poems since man was able to speak
and one can imagine that the Neanderthal man was the poetry
he had his own verbal jousting, the own slam, his own hain-teny
also died when an old man was a library burning
how
yes how many libraries have they burned since time immemorial?
how many men lost memories of hearts?
/////////////////////////////
the talk poem is a poem that david antin done when the Calls for a performance
antin seeks above all things the public to know that he will find the place in which his performance will take place, the history of the place so small it is, life, life as it passes through when he speaks, will talk, talk
it seeks to understand the context in which he performs as a griot, such
a griot, yes, no, but
a griot for whom the names of men their names and identity raise questions
we could talk to his place an anti-griot
antin does not say: I'll tell you who you are where you come from what is your legend
antin as griot undermines the names of men whom he tells a story or history
calls into question the notion of identity as it was over today and yesterday is a foregone conclusion for ages
This being avant-garde is also ontology
Antin and should written? Antin or (Antin)

magic power of the name : Mallarmé spoke about in his book

and you?
//////////////////////////////
three points of this being avant-garde means , I will address:
1 - considered the poem as a time to live, so a fleeting moment. The poem as ephemeris, counting the days and hours
2 - the question of identity, such as setting up a story that everyone is built for himself: the cost of living
3 - poems that talk can become a horizon to the poetry of David Antin: the establishment of a poetic relational (in the clinical setting or intimate)
//////////// //////////////////
1 - The poem goes like spoken word or a current of air
/
I said that the poetic essay david antin was intertext, as its title suggests, the work of Bourdieu This means that talking
- In this book very briefly, Bourdieu shows how human interaction works from communication frameworks inherent in our societies and our cultures
bourdieu shows, among other things, that there may be a sociostylistique at work, even in the daily speech, that speech of a man or more could demonstrate a uniqueness that makes poetic
for antin sociopoetics so there is at work in every man, whatever
some minor some major
one side of the poet Villon another critic Nisard
only sociopoetics this, so it keeps its specificity, must, if it is registered, that is transcribed into a book, this sociopoetics, therefore, must find an entry closest to scoring as the literary writing as the
book should comply with the oral form and not vice versa
a book depository or deposit
each time each man every breath
white is a pause or silence
yes, but also that the book or the work is no longer book or work
if the sense of beauty should be, what feeling, aesthetics, must remain an impression,
fleeting and not immortal
/
john cage silence speaks of music as beautiful as fresh milk, because living, he said
that music, like poetry , should not be stopped in its flow by conservative means,
or the sound of a truck is also 'm a music school or beethoven
and antin, students from a school of art, art institute memphis:
"so I can understand why you want to make something that will stand again and again to experience / something that will deliver to each meeting, and perhaps for a long time / quite a set of related experiences can be rich and mysterious and new / and I sympathize with this desire / but somehow this desire has come to merge / as you obviously know / with the idea of how long an object could well last / and we could really make history this lust objects that could last forever / and it's not for nothing that a Roman poet talkative wanted to boast that his speech would survive the monuments of marble and bronze / and many years later william shakespeare / who had read the Roman poet to school and wrote a lively little bi / has taken heart at the idea that some sixteen hundred years later / at the option of many accidents education and transmission / he read the Roman poet and yet he was pushed to bring this great bluster and about a repeat of his own poems "
/
speech is no longer what it should be archived, no longer speak through the ages
john cage at home becomes a mandala that is not erased
antin is not Zen or Fluxus, but because there is, in humans, other ways of conceiving time
and that these modes of design time, even though they are idiosyncratic, are also respectable that the procedures put in place enunciation in writing so-called classical
and, confronted with the scripture known at this time of writing or legend, antin with a small a, or? Antin opposes an anecdote that shows his old mother suffering from Alzheimer's disease. meet the laurels of a Shakespeare or a broom, antin between time forever lost, the memory that tapers and frayed, the lost memories, amnesia of his mother,
and what would been pathetic in the mouth of another man becomes Antinea magnitude
yes, life has not a single time, but time
and each time the man has a right to equal dignity and the same honors
every man is a poet
/////////////////////////////////////
2 - The question of identity: the cost of living
/
there is no memory and memory + - + no time and time -
face of death, nothing lasts, everything has the right to equal dignity
antin has its mourning the feeling of eternity that probably still works one or another of us
equal dignity for all and all
no idiosyncrasy + or -
no singularity that takes, persists in time
not an idiot, or engineering
antin speaks thus anecdote from his anecdotes, according to context and audience
it will, for example, a talk poem where he describes his decision to come live in san diego, to come and teach at of retirement, one of his friends, Professor at NY and poetry critic.
here there is a gift, a poetic form of hospitality: your life will make a fresh start, you were a professor at New York and now you're retired. I come from big apple, and I chose to live in san diego to teach.
and he will talk about his stepfather, a Hungarian painter and poet who has never been successful because of unfavorable circumstances and the way things are certain events,
fold men.
/
This replaces the page is the circumstance, the context in which the poetic gift sets. For this to occur poetic gift, you must have, according to Antin, knowledge forms sociopoetics that a particular individual who uses up his story.
gold, each man has a clean story, according to him, this story form the deep structure of the individuality of such and such.
so there is not a single ontology, but several
responsible, there are as many ontologies as there are men.
/
the poet is he who finds the story that every man is met
is talk in the price poem that the poet reveals his method.
/
a - man is an open book: his ego is rooted in the story, a name as a key to our identity and a Mana , ie, as in the sociology of communication Erving Goffman, a way to save face, to hold its face and that of others:
"in other words / we all have a name / our names and we know we stand behind them and respond to the call for a coherent / we do a sense of who we are and what we are made and what is alien to us / and we do not have this idea we would if we had not had a series of experiments have convinced us that we were the person who made it or failed to do that or wanted to do it or was afraid to do it / and when you think about / I concluded that the reason why I use so many stories that I think is that the self / whatever definition / is produced entirely by the collision between a sense of identity and issues of narrative "
/
b - the man who shaped the narrative structure of his ego from a nodal point
there not only the rituals of interaction between myself and others, but the rites of interaction from me to me. The aim of these rituals is that keeping our individuality intact and preserved from the accidents of life.
in this sense, every man has a nodal point is a threshold beyond which it can not go, or risk losing its identity. this nodal point is what form his own style.
and can be read in a man as in a book, if one has identified its nodal point, namely that it is capable of doing and what he can not.
this node was not given to men at first, but depends on the life and accidents that each man meets in his way. these accidents are the vault which is built on his personality, and this vault admits or denies a certain degree and / or some form of transformation:
"... the story is a kind of psychic function / which is part Economic and human psychic is probably a universal feature of humanity /
anyway we associate what is human / and it involves a peculiar and paradoxical confrontation
imagine yourself confronted with the possibility of / processing / thinking of a mind with thoughts on any subject / to a human sentient / even be a very basic
at some point this meeting can be the probability of a transformation / maybe this is a disaster perhaps it is wonderful / but in any case anything that undergoes transformation is not the same / and there is always the threat that any being who is to undergo a transformation does not maintain during such a process and ceases to be under the impact of this transformation "
/
here david antin opposes the concept of narrative to that history.
.
according to him, history presents a series of events experienced by a person, not a character, a being of paper, but a person, a life.
.
and I feel that at the time of the storytelling and the spin-doctor, thought little bourgeoise will raise its shields "to stick with fiction, literary!" yes, poetry well confined in its niche, in this case ... it reads, it writes well gentimment in its niche.
pass.
.
and history, from the narrative, is what does not radically change a person, what makes a person remains what it is, while the story has an accident that changes the me.
.
well, take, yes, taking the life of Henry Miller, his arrival in Paris with june, after New York. Well, the life of Henry Miller does not change radically, Miller remains the same, up to 80 years, despite the madness that has taken to become a writer, costs. Life of Henry Miller, is the picaresque novel, Henry Miller, is a picaresque hero. nothing changes the inner self of this hobo heaven, he can know the worst insults, most fall into disarray, find themselves caught in a guépied, he acquits himself well as Ulysses. the exact opposite, the antithesis of Miller, Italo Svevo with a mediocre life, succeeds in nothing but fun for what it is.
.
the story is changing the nodal point, the horrible accident or road to Damascus. it is man who sees death in the face and died on the exchange. is the plane of joseph Beuys, who crashed in the Crimea, the disease takes hold of young native and will make him a medicine man. noting that Oedipus killed his father and married his mother is another story. or the moment of my death Blanchot, Blanchot tells how he escaped his own shooting by the Nazis at the end of the war:
"remained, however, when the shooting was more than expectation, the feeling of lightness that I can not translate: freedom from life? infinity which opens? Neither happiness nor unhappiness. Neither the absence of fear and perhaps already not beyond. I know, I imagine that feeling unanalyzable changed what was left of life. As if death beside himself that could now face death by him. "I am alive. No, you're dead."
.
it operates a transformation of the whole person, it can operate some form of attaraxie in life and writing of a man, like hare, but it can also not be seen, not be as tragic as the "reader" wants: something, some event took place at a given moment, a brief is absolutely unprintable, even Proximity to a newspaper, and this thing, or because too faint for be said without smiling, caused a metamorphosis.
.
and candy, a colleague of David Antin. antin talking about candy during a performance he has done in an institute of poetry in San Francisco in 1973 ("What am I doing here?", in spoken Poems, ed. Notebooks breakers, Clamecy: 1984). What we said Antinea candy? What was his life? who was she? what she was doing work with antin? everything the poet tells us is this: a kind of candy is courageous mother who lives alone, without a husband, and is often forced to go to the police because of his children. some candy talking antin both its work and disappointments in love antin listening.
.
some people around us, go to confession more easily than others. it seems to them that their life itself must be transparent to people who are part of daily life and reflect a kind of innocence in human relations, or some sympathetic relationships are forged between neighbors, acquaintances and colleagues and certain actions that are part of the intimate, are disclosed without brake. So, talking about a candy's disappointments in love antin and excludes antin why not candy it reveals such a case: her latest lover had three cherries tattooed on her tail, why the candy was thrown out of her bed. - Why candy says it this? then wonders antin poem during his talk. Why? history, as it is given to us, seems so sordid and at the same time, if preposterous Antinea seems ashamed to give the same meaning and value of history. as if life is playing tricks on us and the fate of each of us could not match what is usually expected of a story.
.
verisimilitude.
.
the physical form of a man or the shape of his life does not match our expectations, the trick is taking a life off the beaten track as you approach it.
.
can naturally talk about the experience has lived blanchot limit at the end of World War II, his death sentence is at the same time, his sentence of life can be the exegesis of the tragedy hare, and it may also be that the tragedy of candy. But in our Western thinking which box will she-life candy, unable to choose a man with "a head on your shoulders? in which box, the life of a woman unable to choose a man who is not at the same time, a child and a man whereas her sex, as his libido is not only a "cherry"?!
.
according antin, fold, or node, has hare lived during the shooting and that he has escaped, is as tragic and as baroque as the crease which made that a candy was recognized shocking story, the point of wanting, or duty, to tell this story antin. for the poet, the exegesis that we can bring the experience has not lived blanchot more literary and philosophical, is no more worthwhile than, that faced candy, is psychological or clinical. Each man has a story he has internalized and which reveals itself and each story is no more noble, worthy or unworthy than another. It is the specificity of a particular story that the poet has to find its literariness, his own strangeness: his ego.
