This book critically examines how the production and reception of performed poetry has changed in the wake of digitalization. The interdisciplinary chapters in this volume deal with fundamental questions confronting performed poetry in the digital age: How are concepts like liveness and performativity being adapted to mediatized digital environments? How are platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok helping to popularize performed poetry, and what online formats are emerging? How is the ubiquity of digital technologies transforming fields like experimental sound poetry, and how are they performed on stage? Bringing together authors from various countries and disciplines, this volume addresses diverse topics such as the evolution of poetry readings in Scandinavia; poetry slams as political criticism and a social practice in Brazil, the UK, the US, and Italy; the performance of AI poetry; posthuman entanglements between gendered bodies and technological devices in experimental sound poetry; the aesthetics and practices of poetic activism on the street and social media; and how recordings of performed poetry are being circulated in our current platformized, digital environment.

As a multifaceted and intermedial phenomenon, poetry in the digital age not only demands a rethinking and expansion of the traditional paradigms of literary studies but also attracts increasing attention from other humanities. This interdisciplinary handbook is thus addressed both to literary scholars and to the broadest academic audience interested in contemporary poetry research. It offers 50 contributions by an international collective of authors that highlight the diversity of contemporary poetry, examining it from a wide variety of complementing theoretical and methodological angles. The handbook focuses on contemporary modes of poetry presentation that are often located beyond the book, e.g., on stages, in public spaces, as multi- as well as transmedia publications, or on digital platforms. Such intermedial poetic practices, which may supplement poetic language with elements borrowed from music, visual art, cinema, or theater and performance, are transforming the forms and functions of poetry. It four parts thus (1) adapt established concepts and parameters of poetry research to the digital age, (2) explore established genres and emerging formats, (3) introduce interdisciplinary perspectives and new research fields, and (4) engage in current debates.

This interdisciplinary study focuses on sonic poetry, an experimental artistic practice in the post-digital era. It discusses a transmedial, language-based sound art, according to literary concepts, as well as media theory, linguistics, and sound studies.The book explores how digital and media technologies shape the creation of experimental sound works. Offering a framework, it categorizes the large variety of production methods applied by artists, such as editing, mixing, sampling, and coding. Drawing on literary concepts like electroacoustic poetry or audioliterary writing, it introduces a theory of expanded semantics to analyze the intricate interplay between sound and meaning.Four in-depth case studies of works by Alessandro Bosetti, Dagmara Kraus, Jörg Piringer, and Anja Utler, reveal how artists engage in a dynamic and reciprocal relationship with technology – transforming it from a mere tool into an active collaborator in the creative process.This book aims to fill a gap by reconstructing the evolution of poetry related to sound, media, and technology. Providing compelling insights into the innovative tendencies of artistic production, it also sheds light on issues of culture and society in the twenty-first century.

What does multilingual poetry do in a post-digital public space? In this book, comparative literature scholars Elisabeth Friis and Karin Nykvist discuss how multilingual poetry in Scandinavia today is a powerful intervention in poetics as well as in politics. In the wake of globalism and new paths of migration on the one hand, and regionalism and new nationalist movements on the other, poets and performance artists in the Nordic region find multilingual devices to be powerful and meaningful, making the form itself a political as well as an aesthetic choice. This book maps and theorizes the many multilingual devices and strategies used by contemporary authors related to the Nordic region in different ways – through birth, choice, coincidence or necessity – and extrapolates how their texts examine and negotiate the gap between a monolingual ideal historically related to the nation state and the multilingual reality of the 21st century. In multilingual poetry, language hierarchies, as well as ideas about purity and impurity, are challenged and examined. The volume’s theoretical point of departure is focused on theories of performativity, affect and intermediality, as well as specific theories of poetic enunciation. The volume concludes that multilingual poetry is always situated and oriented, not only in discourse and time, but also in actual geographical, physical and political space. This will not only be of interest to Nordic scholars and Scandinavian studies, but to the global field of studies in literary multilingualism.

The speech technologies of the digital age make everything speak – from voice assistants and GPS navigators to streaming media. The dissociation of voice and speech from the speaker and the situation of speaking engendered by this condition imbues the ages-old question of lyric theory “Who speaks?” with renewed salience. This book investigates digital oral poetry – an artform that explores the modes of oral speech facilitated and conditioned by digital technologies and digital culture, foregrounding the selves that are performed and constructed in the speaking act. Practices of digital oral poetry run across the boundaries between institutionally recognised forms of art and poetry, pop culture and participatory culture online. They may include poetry performed in synthesised or deep-faked voices, AI-generated performance poetry, intersections of poetry and ASMR videos or audioliterary memes such as Autotune stories to name a few examples. Through a series of case studies, the book offers a (post-)phenomenological examination of the contemporary digitally-inflected forms of subjectivity as they manifest in digital oral poetry.
