Poetic Acts & New Media advances the fields of literary and new
media studies by clarifying boundaries between competing genres and
media through the creation of a new artistic genre, "media poetry."
This aesthetic mode of expression/becoming seeks to transform mass
culture (our codes of communication) by self-consciously
acknowledging how textual, audio, and/or visual signs are
constructed according to their simulation and not their
representation. This study draws heavily upon literary media
theories that intersect with Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of 'Sense'
as a simulated power of sensory transformations. Media poetry
becomes a complex power of 'Sense' by blending conventional
mass-media codes with poetic simulations that provide alternative
forms of creating meaning. Poetic Acts & New Media specifically
examines the works of several poets that exemplify this
multi-sensory approach to printed-text poetry, especially: *
Langston Hughes * Tony Medina * David Wojahn * John Kinsella *
David Trinidad. It also analyzes several contemporary films that
embody the multi-modal logic of media poetry: * David Lynch's
Mullholland Drive * Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky * Spike Jonze's
Being John Malkovich. In addition, this study interprets two
influential primetime TV shows as exemplars of media poetry: Twin
Peaks and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All media poetry, regardless of
genre or medium, allows readers/viewers to envision "reality
production" as a rewriteable and poetic enterprise that can
productively remediate any transparent abstraction or common-sense
realism.
