I suppose, in this view, there are plenty of positions outside the avant-garde, including any art that takes the stylistic gestures of an old avant-garde into the existing institution of poetry (journals, academic departments, the idea of poetry as a separate genre, etc.). Not that any of this is new: it's kind of just Peter Burger's theory.<BR/><BR/>Fascinating about Perloff and Levertov, by the way.Archambeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273511539172747550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-43934149013024568772009-02-10T03:57:00.000-06:002009-02-10T03:57:00.000-06:00I was responding to "Belaño", clearly just a typo....I was responding to "Belaño", clearly just a typo.Vance Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477306994564623348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-72717230103780290102009-02-09T08:02:00.000-06:002009-02-09T08:02:00.000-06:00No, not really.

I also say that Bolaño (the author of the book) reflects upon estridentismo. Nowhere do I refer to the fictional character "Belano," who is not just "partial" alter ego but a full one. (Not that every fictional detail about Belano is accurate, I haven't bother to check, but that Belano simply IS Bolaño's fictional counterpart.) It's true that at one point i confuse infrarrealismo with realismo visceral, the historical and the fictional avant-garde movements.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371893596402673898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759353.post-57577683864594318002009-02-09T00:47:00.000-06:002009-02-09T00:47:00.000-06:00Are you confusing Bolaño with his partial alter eg...Are you confusing Bolaño with his partial alter ego Belano?Vance Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477306994564623348noreply@blogger.com
