I propose humouring as a critical approach premised on a compliant tension with a text, a subversive toleration that undermines ‘aetonormative’ seriousness and upholds ‘childish’ humour as valuable play-with-value. The Kindergarde anthology (ed. Dana Teen Lomax 2013 ) claims to translate avant-gardism for a child audience, linking its experimental poems to the experimentation of children's play. Using carnivalisation, détournement, defamiliarisation, and other forms of what Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jonathan Ball term ‘experimentation-with-humour’, Kindergarde constructs inclusive spaces for humoured subversion, in which children can sidestep oppressive adult normativity. The child's humoured humouring of adult power is discussed here by re-reading children's literature's ‘impossible relation’ (after Jacqueline Rose) in terms of Michel Serres’ ‘parasite’, Judy Little's feminist ‘humouring’ of male language, and Lee Edelman's queering of ‘reproductive futurism.’ Asserting that it is the condition of twenty-first-century poetry to be humoured – as a ‘minor literature’ (Deleuze and Guattari) with a ‘minor attitude’ (Georges Bataille) – my humouring of the Kindergarde builds toward a post-literary vision of the kinder-gardist as futurity-humourist.","PeriodicalId":42177,"journal":{"name":"CounterText-A Journal for the Study of the Post-Literary","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47534552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay, we will attend to and flesh out the significance of Andrews's dialogue with the medium of cinema in two chronologically distant works: Film Noir (1978) and Swoon Noir (2007). I will contend that while Andrews uses the noir, in the first book, to attack the sensorially disabling nature of immersive art, in the second one, the famed pulp genre functions as a grand metaphor through which the poet addresses the ineffectiveness of intentionally non-immersive avant-garde works, like his own 1978 piece, to carry out a much-promised perceptual and ethical awakening. There is, perhaps, in Andrews's view, an escapist element, very much like that which colours most detective pulp fiction and cinema, to innovative works that purport to be forward-thinking and transformative but end up promoting a feel-good mood of powerless rapture and amazement. In this piece, we fully flesh out Andrews's critique of the vanguard's ‘cinematic’ ambitions and assess the alternative ‘miniature’ aesthetics he proposes. Only by drawing out and bringing its innovations into focus, Andrews claims, will the avant-garde be able to rescue the transformative modes of experience it reveals from their dilution in sublime-soaked pulp poetics.","PeriodicalId":42177,"journal":{"name":"CounterText-A Journal for the Study of the Post-Literary","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43784645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acousmatic Orphism: Susan Howe 听觉孤儿：苏珊·豪

Donahue","doi":"10.3366/count.2021.0243","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3366/count.2021.0243","url":null,"abstract":"In this essay Joseph Donahue uncovers the Orphic ambitions of Susan Howe's 2010 volume of poetry, That This, especially as manifested in the poet's collaboration with the composer David Grubbs in the recording of a poem from that volume, ‘Frolic Architecture’. To account for the use of free-floating syllabic sound as an intensification of the Orphic concerns of the poem in the recording, the essay turns at first to the origin of acousmatic sound and its proposed relations to ancient mystery cults: composer and sound theorist Pierre Schaeffer claimed that to hear sound without seeing its source placed the listener in a position comparable to that of an initiate in the cult of Pythagoras. Drawing on Brian Kane's 2014 study of the origins of musique concrète (which incorporates recorded sounds) in the postwar period, Sound Unseen, this piece claims the acousmatic not only for Pythagoras but for Orpheus. It is argued that an Orphic poetics rooted in the acousmatic comes to full fruition in late Howe. Howe's own evocations of Pythagoras, and her own mythologising of the acousmatic, are examined, especially in regard to her collage method which so often and so momentously conceals or removes the visual origin of sounded syllables. The collaboration with composer David Grubbs intensifies the acousmatic poetics of Howe's text, and it is suggested, is the poem's ultimate realisation.","PeriodicalId":42177,"journal":{"name":"CounterText-A Journal for the Study of the Post-Literary","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44080490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
