Indebted to, while problematizing the Kristevan concept of sémiotique , Scott Shinabargar’s The Revolting Body of Poetry reveals how the very “matter” of key works forces us to enact these transgressions, when articulating textures of offensive lexica and imagery. While certain phonemes provide access to previously untapped forces, first apparent in Baudelaire and Lautréamont, compulsive repetitions produce expressive inflation, diffusing any initial impact. Césaire and Char, however, demonstrate an acquired control of these forces, intensity contained. Shinabargar concludes with a survey of contemporary poets, inviting readers to consider the legacy of revolting poetics.Chiasma36.French poetryHistory and criticismPoeticsFrench poetryHistory and criticism.Poetics.841.009Shinabargar Scott1597002NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910823298003321The revolting body of poetry3918594UNINA
