Poetic Revolutionaries is an exploration of the relationship between
radical textual practice, social critique and subversion. From an
introduction considering recent debates regarding the cultural
politics of intertextuality allied to avant-garde practice, the study
proceeds to an exploration of texts by a range of writers for whom
formal and poetic experimentation is allied to a subversive politics:
Jean Genet, Monique Wittig, Angela Carter, Kathy Acker, Kathleen Mary
Fallon, Kim Scott and Brian Castro. Drawing on theories of avant-garde
practice, intertextuality, parody, representation, and performance
such as those of Mikhaïl Bakhtin, Julia Kristeva, Gérard Genette,
Margaret A. Rose, Linda Hutcheon, Fredric Jameson, Ross Chambers and
Judith Butler, these readings explore how a confluence of writing
strategies ? covering the structural, narratological, stylistic and
scenographic ? can work to boost a text?s subversive power.
