404: EURACA SEMINAR TWO
Toma la lengua
Within the framework of 404: SCHOOL NOT FOUND, program TWO of Euraca Seminar pursues the same research begun in program ONE, Take the Speech, in search of appropriate writing to create language for the present in which we are living. This trimester we ask ourselves what has become of the poorer culture-languages in Europe. What consumer culture languages and mass media languages took their place? In what standards are we being spoken? And, therefore, what texts describe the violence that comes from living in one world but calling things in another one? How do se castrapea a way out, a blackout? And how could gender and sex be rewritten and subverted in poetry? In search of a pig-pidgin, we wonder what version of hometown and of romanticism we have now and how to end this trip in a village, reading the work of three poets who, like Olga Novo, are learning to bark.
