Poetry, art and Deleuze

Sheridan Linnell, Bronwyn Davies

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, we open ourselves materially to the poetry of thought, to a thoughtful poetics, via the specificity of works of art. Through poems written to and for each other we seek the haecceity or just-thisness of the inter-connectivity of being. Art, poetry and the subject are some of the many actors that constitute our particular field of play. If "[w]e are vital materiality and we are surrounded by it ... The ethical task at hand is to cultivate the ability to discern nonhuman vitality, to become perceptually open to it." It is percepts and affects we would ride in our poems – rather than individual perceptions and affections – seeking to overturn the clichés of individualism with all its bureaucratized isolation.
