ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION

MUESTRA DE LA POESÍA POR LA RED Y DE LA ACTITUD QUE
HABITUALMENTE COMPORTA

Although there have been critical warnings about the imminent
disappearance of poetry from our society, an analysis of this literary genre on the
Internet reveals many innovative practices. Verse on the World Wide Web thus
requires new critical approaches, such as communication theory and cultural
studies. This dissertation focuses on electronic publications or webzines devoted
to poetry in Spanish, which have created virtual communities centered around
this genre.
Chapter One of this dissertation summarizes the history of poetry and its
different means of dissemination: from the religious prophet in primitive societies
to the electronic technologies of communication. Special emphasis is placed on
the interaction between literature and the Internet, illustrated by relevant
examples. It should also be noted that a web site on electronic poetry journals in
Spanish has been created for the purposes of this dissertation
(http://www.uky.edu/~apalm1/redvistas).
Chapter Two is a classification of poetic webzines in Latin America and
Spain, with a study of the differences between these electronic publications and
printed journals. Three webzines have been chosen to demonstrate their
function and their use of poetic traditions in the Spanish-speaking world.
Chapter Three explores the possibility of specific poetic practices
associated with poetic webzines, through a stylistic analysis of representative
poems. The analysis highlights relevant artistic stances and the esthetics of
poetry in Spanish on the Internet.
The Conclusion affirms that poetry in Spanish (and probably in other
languages too) has made a significant incursion on the Internet, but still not
realized the full possibilities of the new medium. This genre will have to update
its practices and reconfigure itself according to the demands of electronic
dissemination (including sound), if it is to play a major role in the cultural life of
the postmodern world.
Keywords: poesía, Red, Internet, revistas de poesía, poesía hispánica.
