The article studies how the acousmatic experience of literature revises and expands the concept of the voice deposited in poetry. The author analyzes existing interpretations of voice and poetic voice from the perspective of acousmatic theories. These theories redefine Western notions of the agency of voice as a metaphor of power and specific identity (which reduce voice to its representative functions). Therefore, the author states that experiencing the agency of the voice deposited in poetry may resemble experiencing the acousmatic voice. In turn, this allows one to experience the presence of the Other rather than merely its representation. According to the author, we can grasp the influence of the voice in a poem through the category of “excess,” which expresses resistance to the structural logic of language. Referring to examples from contemporary Polish engaged poetry, the author examines the category of excess in three possible configurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
