Research Project
Precarious Form: Life, Voice, and Work in Global Modernist Poetry (1945-2000)
This project focuses on Anglophone, Francophone, and Hindi modernist poetries that respond to questions of precarity and precariousness in the late twentieth century. It sets up a relationship between precarious living and writing, arguing that the historical changes, instabilities, and uncertainties that lead to global precariousness also shape modernist poetics. In studying issues of subjectivity, literary form, and poetic voice in a comparative framework, the project aims to illustrate the role of literature in not just representing or expressing precariousness but performing it and imagining a way beyond it. To this end, the project uses the term ‘Precarious Form’ to think of a multilingual modernist tradition that formally and thematically responds to the failures of a capitalist and Cartesian modernity.
