By homely gift and hindered Words
\nThe human heart is told
\nOf Nothing \u2014
\n“Nothing” is the force
\nThat renovates the World \u2014<\/p>\n

Emily Dickinson<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Poetry makes nothing happen, Auden said, but what kind of nothing? Is it Emily Dickinson\u2019s nothing, \u2018the force that renovates the world’?<\/p>\n

In a techno landscape where capital has become the most oppressive and decisive political denominator, a world where all verbal and formal challenges to the status quo are quickly appropriated to capital’s own ends, in the face of fast-deteriorating social bonds, we can well ask if \u2018transformation\u2019 is really possible. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Writing of the capability of poetry to create new meaning from nothing, the French Psychoanalyst Colette Soler observes that poetic language \u00a0<\/em>\u2018\u2026 is the least stupid saying, since only poetry (or prophecy) manages to say something new, even unique, using old and worn-out signifiers.\u2019<\/p>\n

Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis and contemporary poetry, such as the work of Aase Berg, Sean Bonney and others, Nia Davies and Tamara Dellutri explore the capability of poetry to force the limits of our symbolic\u00a0universe, effecting subjective and collective transformation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
