Jan Kubíček: The Third Manifesto of Poetism

One hundred years after Teige and Nezval's first manifesto, a new poetic manifesto comes as an unexpected solution for the confused 21st century. Michael Hauser will put it in the context of the times. The author will materialize it in his own voice. Moderated by Petr Tureček.

 

Excerpts from the manifesto:

"The meaning and purpose of the whole world so far has been to create a sufficient number of components and semi-finished products for the creation of new living poetic poems, new POETRY and new BEAUTY, for a new synthesis of world and poem, for the establishment of the WORLD-POINT."

"The new poetism overcomes the one-sidedness of the old poetism - it opens up on the one hand to nature, non-civilization, the unconstructed, and on the other hand to the past, the archaic, the non-modern (and thus also non-European), and thus achieves an open synthesis on the spatial and temporal axis."

"We believe in a new world dominated by a new form of collective consciousness emerging at the interface of mechanism and organism, man and nature, machine and forest, science and poetry. The new consciousness of humanity will be the consciousness of the garden."

 

Michael Hauser's thesis:

1. It's the time of manifestos again, why are they being written?

2. The Poetic Manifesto is a manifesto against postmodern nihilism (we know that change is necessary, and at the same time we claim that it is impossible).

3. Mathematics as a method of liberation of the senses.

4. The idea of radical humanism or hyperhumanism.

5. The role of poetry in times of transition: to create the stimuli, or even the sensory and intellectual space for the emergence of a new person and a new world.
