POETRY SLAM: BY A COMMUNITY THAT COMES

Abstract

With its bodily performance, its ludic and the desire to share in the common and everyday sphere, the poetry slam manifests itself as a resistant poetic expression both in terms of themes and forms, innovating the places of speech and the vehicles of literary circulation. As a plural and democratic event, based on the open experience of the encounter and on the silenced and marginalized places of speech taken, the poetic slams convey a differentiated form of community: inoperative, inadmissible and impossible, in line with the reflections proposed by authors such as Jean-Luc Nancy, Esposito, Blanchot and Agamben. In the deconstruction of the modern meaning of community, taken as an attributive and homogeneous nucleus, lies its resilience, as a renewer of spaces, discourses and existences.
