1 The 'Simultaneous Situatedness' of Video Poetry : Exploring the Dislocating Experience of Living between Localities through Poetic Form Claire Rosslyn Wilson , 2022 single work criticism
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , vol. 12 no. 1 2022; 'This paper presents a case study of videopoems made as a way to further understand translocal experiences, paying particular attention to the way the form can ‘travel’ between localities. The turn to the translocal is an endeavour to ‘deliberately confuse the boundaries of the local in an effort to capture the increasingly complicated nature of spatial processes and identities’ (Oakes and Schein 2005: 20). This paper explores the ways in which videopoetry as a form reflects the translocal process of ‘a simultaneous situatedness across different locales which provide ways of understanding the overlapping place-time(s) in migrants’ everyday lives’ (Brickell and Datta 2011: 4). Through layering poems, sound and moving images the videopoetry form has the potential to provide insight into the dislocating experience of living between localities. This paper analyses some videopoems and reflects on the relevance of the videopoetry form in the context of translocal poetry.' (Publication abstract)
1 Seeing Things as They Are : Writing Back to Objects in Unfamiliar Localities Claire Rosslyn Wilson , 2021 single work criticism
— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue , October no. 63 2021; 'This article reflects on the way objects can become part of the creative writing process in unfamiliar cultural contexts. I draw from my example of writing haiku in response to everyday objects found in Barcelona public space, but more than an analysis of form this article aims to address ways in which the thing-power of objects can train a poet to see more clearly in unfamiliar environments. Drawing from the research of political theorist Jane Bennett (2010) and her investigation of thing-power, as well as poets such as Francis Ponge and Elizabeth Bishop, the paper pushes past viewing objects simply as tools for human subjects and questions what happens when one explores the thingliness of objects themselves. By paying attention to local spaces through the prism of objects moving within those spaces, the paper explores ways in which creative practice can reflect on unfamiliar cultural contexts. Through my research I tested in what ways critical reflection through objects might encourage the writer to see things as they are rather than as they appear, question the influence of past experience, and enhance a receptivity to unfamiliar things.'
