Abstract
In this study we examine the origins of poetic ‘staging’ as a feature of style, visiting its origins in the phonetic poetry of relevant avant-garde manifestations, such as Futurism and Dadaism. Its historical thread is followed through sonorous and concrete poetry—Letterism—until the advent of Rap, the Spoken Word and Slam. The study focuses on three authors: Pierre Albert-Birot, Antonin Artaud and Gherasim Luca. Our thesis considers the vocal embodiment of the poem as an essential stylistic trait in the understanding of the constituent poetic matter.Downloads
