Hi,
I have a small favour to ask. I'd be very grateful to anybody who can spend
a little time responding to the following fairly straight forward questions
in respect of some research I'm conducting on discourse networks for
contemporary poetry/poetics. Please don't feel you have to answer all of the
questions. Any response will help me to begin at least a sketch towards
current attitudes and practice. PLEASE don't send responses to the list, but
back channel them to me : [log in to unmask]
______________
What was the stimulus for you in joining your first e-list serv?
When was that?
Was your first e-list serv one dealing in contemporary poetry/poetics? If
not then what was its nominal subject?
How many lists are you on and which of them nominally engage with
contemporary poetry/poetics?
What have been the most interesting aspects of list participation for you?
Do you have any favourite 'moments' / exchanges / . .?
What has frustrated you most as a continuing participant?
Would you consider yourself:
- a practitioner
- one who is an enthusiastic 'reader'
- one who is interested in theorising/critiquing contemporary practice
- one who would use the word 'praxis' in respect of what you do
- or how would you describe your interest . . .
Do you have any thoughts at all on the following in respect of your practice
and experience of e-list servs:
- 'dominant' voices
- the e-list as a gendered space,
- writing technologies (technological inequalities and the impact of
emergent writing technologies on poetic practices and circulation of poetic
practice)
- local / translocal conversations / globalism
How do you feel about the archiving of such ongoing discussions, both the
importance of them and the ownership of them? Do you ever visit and or use
existing archives?
I sincerely hope you can see ways to respond to these question, it'd be
helpful and the help will be acknowledged.
it's for PhD research I'm working on and is not related to my own
participation on or co-ownership of any lists. All information will be
treated as confidential.
thanks in advance
love and love
cris
