South African Past Voices and Herstories: Performances as Counter-Texts
type: item
description: Questo articolo esplora le intersezioni creative di etnia e genere negli spazi multimediali sudafricani che partecipano alla costruzione delle narrazioni storiche nazionali. A chi appartiene il passato registrato e come è conservato/rappresentato nell’archivio culturale del Paese? L’articolo si concentra sulle figure storiche femminili dimenticate, manipolate o marginalizzate nella storiografia ufficiale considerandole luoghi privilegiati della riscrittura storica femminile sudafricana. Questo approccio poggia sui recenti studi che invitano la ricerca ad adottare “alternative methodologies that take seriously the realm of the speculative and the imaginative” (Soudien 2023: 83).

‘Exits’ and ‘Entrances’: Roger Robinson’s Poetry between Performance and Self-promotion
type: item
description: Vincitore del T. S. Eliot Prize (2019) e dell’Ondaatje Prize (2020), Roger Robinson interpreta il ruolo di poeta contemporaneo valorizzando il concetto di performance. L’approccio di Robinson alla poesia prevede l’utilizzo di elementi performativi come letture dal vivo, presenza sui social media e collaborazioni musicali. Tale prospettiva rievoca il motto shakespeariano secondo cui ‘tutto il mondo è un palcoscenico’, in cui le uscite e le entrate, artistiche e personali, sono cruciali nel plasmare i discorsi. Il saggio considera l’attività di Robinson tra performance e autopromozione, concentrando l’attenzione sui molteplici aspetti performativi che caratterizzano il ruolo di poeta nell’era digitale.

A Woman Is Talking To Death: Judy Grahn and The Feminist Poetry Movement
type: item
description: Il feminist poetry movement è una corrente della poesia americana degli anni Settanta che, come altri movimenti quali quello dei Beat poets degli anni Cinquanta e quello dei poeti antimilitaristi degli anni Sessanta, realizza una combinazione di arte e politica. Lo straordinario poema A Woman Is Talking To Death della poeta femminista lesbica working-class Judy Grahn, pubblicato nel 1973 e accolto con entusiasmo nel contesto del movimento di liberazione delle donne e in innumerevoli reading di poesia, intreccia esperienza soggettiva e collettiva e denuncia l’intricato nesso di oppressioni sulla base del genere, della sessualità, della razza e della classe, molto prima che venisse coniato il termine “intersezionalità”.

Becoming a Sound Poet. Paul Dutton’s Poetry in Performance
type: item
description: Poeta e musicista di formazione jazz e blues, membro dei Four Horsemen e di CCMC di Michael Snow, performer vocale per R. Murray Schafer, nel suo lavoro di sound poet Dutton mette in scena l’identità scissa, plurale, del soggetto canadese. Nei testi per solo performance, costruisce la sua poesia sonora negli spazi interstiziali fra musica, linguistica e semantizzazione della voce, e mette alla prova i limiti del sistema fonatorio fra click, diplo- e triplofonie, versi animali, silenzio.

From Page to Stage: Tanika Gupta’s Theatre Adaptation of Jackie Kay’s Memoir Red Dust Road
type: item
description: L’adattamento teatrale dell’autobiografia di Jackie Kay dal titolo Red Dust Road (2010), realizzato da Tanika Gupta, ha debuttato al Festival internazionale di Edimburgo nel 2019. La pièce mette in scena la ricerca dell’identità di Kay, figlia naturale di una donna scozzese delle Highlands e di uno studente nigeriano e adottata da una coppia di Glasgow nei primi anni Sessanta. L’articolo si concentra sulle strategie utilizzate da Gupta nella sua riscrittura: inserendo brani dell’opera poetica di Kay, Gupta rende un commovente omaggio alla poetessa, una delle voci più potenti della scrittura femminile nera britannica.

Johanna Drucker, Susan Bee, and the Performance of A Girl’s Life
type: item
description: Nato dalla collaborazione fra la poetessa visiva Johanna Drucker e la pittrice Susan Bee, A Girl’s Life (2002) impiega materiali eterogenei della cultura popolare (riviste per adolescenti, libri di lettura “Dick and Jane”, copertine pulp), adesivi, sagome di carta, figurazione originale, variazione grafica e tipografica, per sfatare i cliché sulla vita di una giovane donna. Contravvenendo alle convenzioni letterarie e a relazioni verbo-visive tradizionali, questo libro d’artista coinvolge i lettori in una performance eccentrica che si fa beffe dei copioni narrativi, testuali e di genere, esplorando forme di visualizzazione in grado di favorire nuove percezioni, visioni e cambiamenti dentro e fuori dalla pagina.

Recasting Slam Poetry: Busisiwe Mahlangu’s Début Poetry Collection Surviving Loss
type: item
description: Il rapporto tra oralità e scrittura in Africa ha generato dibattiti di ampia portata. Tuttavia, in questa vasta letteratura non esistono studi significativi sulla transizione dai palchi della slam poetry ai libri stampati. Analizzando i problemi inerenti al processo di traduzione delle performance orali in testi scritti, Scheub (2021) sostiene che i traduttori devono riconcettualizzare le opere originali, creando opere completamente nuove: devono cioè riformularle. Sulla base di questo principio teorico, questo articolo esamina l’evoluzione di Busisiwe Mahlangu da campionessa di slam poetry a poeta della carta stampata, analizzando la sua opera d’esordio Surviving Loss DOI: 10.17456/SIMPLE-229 Parole chiave: Slam poetry, orality, scriptotherapy, Busisiwe Mahlangu, Surviving Loss.

Staging Slavery through Historiographic Metatheatre: Lorena Gale’s Angélique and Suzan-Lori Parks’s Venus
type: item
description: Il saggio analizza due opere teatrali riconducibili al genere del metateatro storiografico. Angélique dell’attrice, regista e drammaturga afrocanadese Lorena Gale ripercorre la storia di Marie-Joseph Angélique (1705-1734), la schiava nera processata e giustiziata con l’accusa di aver appiccato l’incendio che nel 1734 distrusse gran parte dell’insediamento coloniale francese di Montréal. Venus della drammaturga afroamericana Suzan-Lori Parks verte attorno alla figura di Saartjie Baartman (1789-1815), la donna nera originaria dell’attuale Sudafrica che venne esibita in Europa con l’appellativo di “Venere ottentotta”. Sebbene sia Gale sia Parks operino nell’ambito del metateatro storiografico, la rimodulazione che ne propongono è influenzata dal ruolo assegnato alla schiavitù nelle narrazioni dominanti del Canada e degli Stati Uniti d’America.

Subversive Women in Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children
type: item
description: Discostandosi dalle prime critiche femministe che hanno etichettato l’opera di Salman Rushdie come misogina, questo articolo esamina la rappresentazione delle donne ne I figli della mezzanotte per mettere in luce come le principali protagoniste femminili rispondano in modo creativo e rimodellino le strutture sociali oppressive in cui vivono. Utilizzando il modello mutuale di Riane Eisler, l’articolo evidenzia le analogie fra il concetto indù di Shakti (potere femminile divino) e la partnership come alternativa efficace di relazione e incontro cooperativo alle norme sociali di dominio.
