nioques, frisbees e altre deviazioni / differx. 2021

un cenno ai frisbees, di Giulia Niccolai, è anche nel microsaggio che ho dedicato a Carlo Bordini nel n. 76 del “verri” (giugno 2021).
in quella sede ma anche altrove cerco — come sempre — di spostare la riflessione nella direzione del post che si vede qui di seguito:
https://slowforward.net/2021/06/22/una-nota-di-jean-marie-gleize-a-margine-di-una-recente-lettura-al-cipm/

quando si parla di postpoésie ci si può innanzitutto porre all’esterno del rigido circo dei generi letterari; e inoltre risulta del tutto legittimo parlare di qualcosa che implica e assume non soltanto altri abiti, forme, inflessioni, dimensioni, profili, ma infine identità: altri nomi. e idiomi. (si può e forse si deve dire che la dimensione idiomatica qui sopravanza tutte le altre).

quali sono questi altri nomi? questi oggetti verbali non identificati?

(non dico “nuovi”, dico “altri”). (anche se in Italia tutto sembra voler manifestarsi come nuovo, perché perfino la DC ha fatto in tempo a morire ma le forme dell’assertività letteraria ancora reggono).

epiphanies (James Joyce 1900-1904), tender buttons (Gertrude Stein 1914), tropismes (Nathalie Sarraute 1939), notes (Marcel Duchamp, pubbl. post. 1980), nioques (Francis Ponge 1983, Jean-Marie Gleize), proêmes (Ponge), textes pour rien (Samuel Beckett), antéfixes o dépôts de savoir & de technique (Denis Roche), descrizioni in atto (Roberto Roversi), verbotetture (Arrigo Lora Totino 1966), bricolages (Renato Pedio), domande a risposta multipla (John Ashbery; e cfr. Alejandro Zambra, nel nostro secolo), mobiles o boomerangs (Michel Butor), visas (Vittorio Reta), postkarten (Edoardo Sanguineti 1978), sentences (Robert Grenier 1978), subtotals (Gregory Burnham), films (Corrado Costa), schizografie (Gian Paolo Roffi), drafts (Rachel Blau DuPlessis), esercizi ed epigrammi (Elio Pagliarani), frisbees (Giulia Niccolai), anachronismes (Christophe Tarkos), remarques (Nathalie Quintane), ricognizioni (Riccardo Cavallo), anatre di ghiaccio (Mariano Bàino), lettere nere (Andrea Raos), linee (Florinda Fusco), ossidiane e endoglosse e microtensori e “installances” (Marco Giovenale 2001, 2004, 2010, 2010), tracce (Gherardo Bortolotti 2005), prati (Andrea Inglese), diphasic rumors (Jon Leon 2008), united automations (Roberto Cavallera 2012), paragrafi (Michele Zaffarano 2014), incidents (Luc Bénazet 2018), sentences (Cia Rinne 2019), defixiones (Daniele Poletti),  avventure minime (Alessandro Broggi), développements (Jérôme Game), conglomerati (Andrea Zanzotto), saturazioni (Simona Menicocci), nughette (Leonardo Canella), sinapsi (Marilina Ciaco), dottrine (Pasquale Polidori), disordini (Fiammetta Cirilli), spostamenti (Carlo Sperduti), spore (Antonio F. Perozzi). E aggiungerei le frecce di Milli Graffi.

senza contare le infinite modalità (perlopiù elencative) messe su pagina da Perec (le cartoline e le passeggiate raccolte nell’Infra-ordinaire, o le stringhe di Je me souviens). durante una conversazione, tempo fa Luigi Magno ha suggerito di pensare alle stesse cancellature di Isgrò come a dispositivi di questo tipo, oltretutto in forma di ponte fra la scrittura e l’arte. per tacere, in tal senso, delle innumerevoli soluzioni disseminate nel tempo da Emilio Villa: “cause”, “variazioni”, “madrigali”, “attributi”, “phrenodiae”, “méditations courtes”, “videogrammi”, “options”, “letanie”, “sibille”, “trous”, “labirinti”, “tarocchi”, … (tutte forme disperse come, già nel 1949, “i sassi nel Tevere”).

Re-posting because I'm still kind of in love with this project. A Markov-powered homage to Gertrude Stein's "Tender Buttons":

#GertrudeStein #TenderButtons Objects :

IT WAS BLACK, BLACK TOOK.

Black ink best wheel bale brown.

Excellent not a hull house, not a pea soup, no bill no care, no precise no past pearl pearl goat.

#GertrudeStein #TenderButtons Objects :

SUPPOSE AN EYES. (2/2)

Suppose a collapse in rubbed purr, in rubbed purr get.

Little sales ladies little sales ladies little saddles of mutton.

Little sales of leather and such beautiful beautiful, beautiful beautiful.

#GertrudeStein #TenderButtons Objects :

A TABLE.

A table means does it not my dear it means a whole steadiness. Is it likely that a change.

A table means more than a glass even a looking glass is tall. A table means necessary places and a revision a revision of a little thing it means it does mean that there has been a stand, a stand where it did shake.

Gertrude Stein : Tender Buttons : Objects

A TIME TO EAT.

A pleasant simple habitual and tyrannical and authorised and educated and resumed and articulate separation. This is not tardy.

Gertrude Stein : Tender Buttons : Objects

A WAIST.

A star glide, a single frantic sullenness, a single financial grass greediness.

Object that is in wood. Hold the pine, hold the dark, hold in the rush, make the bottom.

A piece of crystal. A change, in a change that is remarkable there is no reason to say that there was a time.

A woolen object gilded. A country climb is the best disgrace, a couple of practices any of them in order is so left.

Objects : CUTLET.
A blind agitation is manly and uttermost.

Objects : A PLATE. (4/4)
A lamp is not the only sign of glass. The lamp and the cake are not the only sign of stone. The lamp and the cake and the cover are not the only necessity altogether.

A plan a hearty plan, a compressed disease and no coffee, not even a card or a change to incline each way, a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling.

Objects : A PLATE. (3/4)

Cut cut in white, cut in white so lately. Cut more than any other and show it. Show it in the stem and in starting and in evening coming complication.

Reasonable arguments:

Is that any the worse than an oyster and and exchange
Is there not much more joy in a table and more chairs and very likely roundness and a place to put them
Makes sense!
