Devotion and 'The Queer Body in Elegy: Two Approaches'

该项目包括一个创意部分，奉献，和相应的关键组成部分，“在挽歌酷儿的身体：两种方法”。《奉献》是一本诗集，其核心部分是对Eibhlin Dubh Ni Chonaill的《渴望艺术》的奇怪复述，名为《渴望A》。一般来说，创作部分描绘了各种形式的奉献，以及随后的爱情诗和挽歌的主持。诗歌考虑神学、家庭和家庭奉献的各个方面，并以其中心敏锐性提出了这样一个问题：“爱尔兰文学传统实际上能代表谁？”《悲歌中的酷儿身体：两种方法》通过阅读马克·多蒂和玛丽·豪为他们所爱的人垂死的身体所写的悲歌，探讨了他们对美国艾滋病危机的美学方法。论文认为，为了成功地悼念艾滋病毒/艾滋病死亡者，而不仅仅是见证，每个诗人都必须颠覆或改变挽歌的形式。为此，马克·多蒂的《坎普纪事》和玛丽·豪的《具身的、没有隐喻的诗》被解读为一种超越常规的方法，来歌颂当时无法形容的东西。

The project is comprised of a creative component, Devotion, and a corresponding critical component, 'The Queer Body in Elegy: Two Approaches'. Devotion is a poetry collection that as its centrepiece has a queer retelling of The Keen for Art O'Leary by Eibhlin Dubh Ni Chonaill titled 'Keen for A-'. Broadly speaking, the creative component depicts various forms of devotion, and the subsequent auspices of the love poem and the elegy therein. Poems consider aspects of theological, familial and domestic devotion, and with its central keen, asks the question 'Who can Irish literary tradition actually represent?' 'The Queer Body in Elegy: Two Approaches' examines Mark Doty's and Marie Howe's aesthetic approaches to the American AIDS crisis by reading their elegies for and about the dying bodies of their loved ones. The thesis contends that to elegise the legions of those dead from the HIV/AIDS virus successfully, and go beyond mere testimony, each poet has to subvert or alter the elegiac form. To that end, Mark Doty's Camp register and Marie Howe's embodied, metaphor-less poems are read as a transgressive method of elegising what was then unspeakable.All my best,
