The Poetic is Political: An Ethnographic Study of Contemporary Womens Poetry in Beirut, Lebanon

该项目的方法诗歌作为观察和查询模式的对象，调查的问题：1）如何是政治的当代女性的诗歌在贝鲁特演变，以及什么是诗歌形式，包括性能，电影和混合媒体诗歌的创新的政治意义？2)诗歌的创作和表现创造了什么样的空间，这些空间在多大程度上是颠覆性的和预喻性的？3)诗歌的创作和表演如何被用来产生一个研究的背景，以表达默会和具体的经验，探索早期的思想和政治观点？4)如何将诗歌和创造性的视听方法置于对话中，产生新的认识论语境和民族志的见解，进入体验的体现，情感和想象力的维度，否则很难把握？

The project approaches poetry as both an object of observation and mode of enquiry, to investigate the questions:1) How is the politics of contemporary women's poetry in Beirut evolving; and what is the political significance of innovations in poetic forms including performance, film, and mixed media poetry?2) What kinds of spaces do the composition and performance of poetry create and to what extent are these spaces subversive and prefigurative?3) How can the composition and performance of poetry be used to generate a research context for the expression of tacit and embodied experiencesand the exploration of inchoate ideas and political perspectives?4) How can placing poetry and creative audio-visual methods in dialogue generate new epistemological contexts and ethnographic insights into embodied, affective, and imaginative dimensions of experience that are otherwise hard to grasp?
