The Taxonomic Gaze in Contemporary Italian Poetry. Bulleted Lists, Layouts and Margins
The study concerns a sample of poems with bulleted or numbered lists. The analysis, led by way of comparison, focuses on texts from the early 1980s (Erba, Sanguineti, Valduga) and the early 2000s (Benedetti, Dal Bianco, Giovenale, Targhetta), compared with more recent samples (Borio, Guatteri, Marti...

| description | The study concerns a sample of poems with bulleted or numbered lists. The analysis, led by way of comparison, focuses on texts from the early 1980s (Erba, Sanguineti, Valduga) and the early 2000s (Benedetti, Dal Bianco, Giovenale, Targhetta), compared with more recent samples (Borio, Guatteri, Martini, Mazzoni, Pacini, Patrizio, Pusterla). I introduce the notion of a ‘taxonomic gaze’ in poetry, which consists in visualizing a previously carried out division on a graphic level, so as to establish an order or a hierarchy in the form of a list. Finally, I propose that the taxonomic gaze can manipulate the strategies of reading, inviting a critical and technical revision of the point of view within a poem. |
