Poetry Beyond Text / Scottish Poetry Library 'Archive of Reading'

“超越文本的诗歌：视觉、文本和认知”项目（2009-2011）运用文学批评、美学、人类实验心理学、美术和创作实践的方法和理论，研究读者对诗歌与图像或文本与视觉相结合的混合作品的反应。这包括：使用眼球追踪和其他实验技术来追踪阅读过程；与诗人、艺术家和学生志愿者“合作研究者”进行讨论和理论研究；图像形式与文本形式转换的实验过程并委托作品探索这些混合形式的潜力，并记录合作和创作的过程。其中一个结果是强调由“观众”（默读或其他）朗读可以和诗人朗诵一样独特和有趣。虽然我们有许多各种各样的写作档案，但看似短暂（但至关重要）的阅读行为本身——个人在阅读文本时发生的认知、情感和身体过程——却很少被记录下来。我们已经开始建立个人阅读的记录，现在想要开发这些记录的潜力，让公众参与到对诗歌阅读体验的反思过程中，以及与之相关的文化和个人价值和意义。苏格兰诗歌图书馆（SPL）是公认的卓越诗歌的独特资源中心，它提供免费访问其广泛的资源，并作为苏格兰诗歌专业知识的权威提供者，为从学术界到公众的广泛用户提供专业和可访问的服务。在最初的“超越文本的诗歌”应用程序中，SPL在项目结束时被确定为委托诗歌作品的可能存储库。然而，随着时间的推移，我们与SPL建立了非正式的合作伙伴关系，现在我们看到了一个机会，将这种关系正式化，并共同努力开发一个“阅读档案”，这将与SPL的不同用户社区分享来自诗歌超越文本项目的见解，结果和理解，提高这项公共资助研究的价值和利益给更广泛的受众。它也将有助于SPL的主要目标：将各种诗歌的乐趣和好处带给尽可能广泛的受众，并提供一系列创新的机会，参与诗歌和共享乐趣。“阅读档案”的后续项目将：编辑、格式化并呈现在“超越文本的诗歌”项目中收集的阅读记录，其格式对图书馆用户来说是可访问的和有意义的。除了这些作为“超越文本的诗歌”项目的一部分委托的作品的阅读记录，以及SPL收藏的作品，在这两种情况下都要附有解释性/解释性材料。3 .为爱丁堡、格拉斯哥和艾尔的诗歌读者开发和提供讲习班，以促进图书馆用户与档案的接触，并提高对实现永久资源的认识。考察观众对PBT项目委托的作品的反应，通过研究他们如何在展览和研讨会的背景下阅读。邀请图书馆用户在项目结束后，通过记录他们自己对馆藏作品的反应，为档案做出贡献并进一步发展。

The 'Poetry Beyond Text: Vision, Text and Cognition' project (2009-2011) has used methods and theories from literary criticism, aesthetics, human experimental psychology, fine art and creative practice to study how readers respond to hybrid works which combine poetry with images, or the textual with the visual. This has included: tracking the process of reading using eye-tracking and other experimental techniques; discussions and theoretical investigations with poets, artists and student volunteer 'co-researchers'; experimental processes of transfer between image-based and textual forms; and commissioned works exploring the potentialities of these hybrid forms as well as recording the processes of collaboration and creation. One result was to emphasize that a reading performed (silently or otherwise) by an 'audience member' can be as unique and as interesting as one performed by a poet. While we have many and varied archives of writing, the seemingly ephemeral (but crucial) act of reading itself - the cognitive, emotive and physical processes which occur while an individual is engaged with a text - has rarely been documented. We have started to build up records of individuals reading, and would now like to develop the potential of such records to engage members of the public in processes of reflection on the experience of reading poetry and the cultural and personal value and meaning associated with this.The Scottish Poetry Library (SPL) is a unique resource centre of recognised excellence for poetry, which provides access to its extensive resources without charge and acts as the authoritative provider of poetry expertise in Scotland, with a reputation for providing a professional and accessible service to a wide range of users from academic to general public. In the original 'Poetry Beyond Text' application, the SPL was identified as a possible repositories for commissioned poetic works at the conclusion of the project. However, over time we have built an informal partnership with the SPL, and we now see an opportunity to formalise this relationship and to work together to develop an 'Archive of Reading' This which would share insights, results and understanding arising from the Poetry Beyond Text project with the diverse user community of the SPL, enhancing the value and benefits of this publicly-funded research to a wider audience. It would also contribute the key aims of the SPL: to bring the pleasures and benefits of all kinds of poetry to as wide an audience as possible, and to provide a range of innovative opportunities to engage with poetry and for shared enjoyment. The 'Archive of Reading' follow-on project would:1. Edit, format and present the records of readings that have been gathered during the Poetry Beyond Text project, in a format that will be accessible and meaningful for library users.2. Add to these records of readings of works commissioned as part of the Poetry Beyond Text project, and of works in the SPL collection, in both cases to be accompanied by explanatory / interpretative material.3. Develop and deliver workshops for poetry readers in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Ayr, to facilitate the engagement of library users with the archive and increase awareness of the achive as a permanent resource.4. Examine audience responses to the works commissioned by the PBT project, by studying how they are read within the context of the exhibition and workshops.5. Invite the library users to contribute to and further develop the archive after the project, by recording their own responses to works in the collection.
