The Impossibility of Form

Summary/Abstract: “A redefinition of poetry is also and perhaps especially necessary in the post-modern period, where the entire cultural field is once again reorganizing itself (…). Below I will try to show, among other things, that in spite of the radical changes that have affected all discursive traditions of the world, the cultural process itself is nevertheless developing within a surprising continuity, according to an inner logic — in other words, that “modernism” is the predictable outcome of the pre-modernist literary discourses and that practices we now call post-modern are already contained and have been developed within the modernist paradigm.”
