The Future of Poetry: UCL – French Embassy
9 May 2012, 6pm, followed by reception.
Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, UCL Main Building, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT.
The massive growth in creative writing courses in recent years has meant that there are probably more practicing poets at work now than ever before. Yet the position of poetry in relation to the public sphere at large seems to grow increasingly opaque. Is poetry merely a minority leisure activity, or can it still claim to be, as it was for Milton and Wordsworth, a means of understanding the world unrivalled both in its scope and its complexity? With so many new media changing the ways in which we produce and consume texts of all kinds, what is the future of poetry?
Participants include Other Room reader Keston Sutherland. More at the UCL site.

Stupefaction – Keston Sutherland
Stupefaction
A Radical Anatomy of Phantoms
Sutherland examines how speculative and satirical descriptions of stupidity function in art and in argument. His examples include Alexander Pope’s dunce, Adorno’s philistine, Wordsworth’s mechanical adopter of poetic diction, and phenomenologist Michel Henry’s drunkard who rides an escalator to nothingness. Sutherland also provides an important new account of the figure of the bourgeois in Marx and a powerfully original interpretation of commodity fetishism as a satire against bourgeois objectivity. This unusual analysis of the trope of the idiot will appeal to scholars of literature and philosophy alike.
Out now on The University of Chicago Press.
