Transformative Repetition in Experimental and Post-Digital Poetics sheds new light on how we see repetition today by proposing a multi-faced exploration of the material and medial expressiveness of repetition in contemporary poetry. This collection brings together scholars from across different disciplines to analyse transformative repetitions in works of experimental, concrete, conceptual, digital and post-digital poetry. Linking contemporary poetics to their historical antecedents in the avant-gardes of the twentieth century, Transformative Repetition pays special attention to the expanded media boundaries that define literary practices in the twenty-first century. As such, it draws on an expanded notion of poetry to examine how repetition shapes different textual modalities in various media while challenging the traditional divides between repetition and variation, creation and replication, difference and sameness. Attentive to the relationship between form and aesthetic politics, the chapters in this volume also highlight the cultural, social and political implications of repetition.
