Performative Archives: The Visual Poetry of bpNichol and Derek Beaulieu
By taking to task the materiality of writing, visual poetry asks what can be remembered and through what channels. Though the archive may function in poetry in the broadest sense as a metaphor for memory, the boundaries of that narrative change along with the shape of the print medium. If visual poe...

En travaillant sur la dimension matérielle de l’écriture, la poésie visuelle s’engage dans une voie exploratrice qui pense ensemble matériau, écriture et mémoire. La figure de l’archive se decline au sens métaphorique pour dire cette relation. Elle traverse la tradition poétique en suivant la trace des formes adoptées par les divers supports de l’écrit. Si la poésie visuelle peut se dire archive de l’expérience scripturale, ses inscriptions sont le reflet du flux qui caractérise une esthétique et un environnement conditionnés de manière croissante par des supports technologiques. Cet article interroge le geste performatif de l’écriture en prenant l’exemple de deux poètes canadiens, bpNichol et Derek Beaulieu aux XXe et XXIe siècles. Ressort de l’enchevêtrement de la poésie visuelle et de l’archive, ce geste met en scène la traversée de la mémoire, ses temporalités et ses espaces. |
