  • The Artist As a Work-In-Progress: General Idea and the Construction of Collective Identity
    Forum for Modern Language Studies Vol. 48,No.4, doi: 10.1093/fmls/cqs022 THE ARTIST AS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS: GENERAL IDEA AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF COLLECTIVE IDENTITY DEBORAH BARKUN ABSTRACT Downloaded from In its twenty-five years of activity (1969–1994), the art collective General Idea developed a complex artistic mythology and identity that permitted it to produce a substantial corpus of work while confronting challenges provoked by evolving social relationships and, eventually, HIV/AIDS. The group main- tained a cohesive partnership, a ‘collaborative body’ that subsumed individual members’ identities within a collective whole. This paper analyses the concep- http://fmls.oxfordjournals.org/ tual projects and artists’ statements of the group’s first decade, many of which belong to the domain of Correspondence and Mail Art. It argues that these textual and performative artworks strategically constructed an elaborate collect- ive identity. They equally functioned as a vehicle through which to develop methods and strategies of collaborative practice, reflecting debates about authorship such as those theorized contemporaneously by Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault. Keywords: General Idea; collaboration; authorship; collectivity; Correspondence Art; Conceptual Art; Mail Art; manifesto; performance; gender; sexuality by guest on October 16, 2012 IN 1969,CANADIAN ARTISTS AA Bronson (b. Michael Tims), Jorge Zontal (b. Slobodan Saia-Levi) and Felix Partz (b. Ron Gabe) formed a multimedia art collective named General Idea (Figure 1).1 General Idea’s formation was less deliberate than organic, a process evoked by the biological metaphors the group later used to characterize its collaboration, and the concepts and dissemination of its work.

  • The Language Revolution: Borderblur Poetics in Canada, 1963-1988
    THE LANGUAGE REVOLUTION: BORDERBLUR POETICS IN CANADA, 1963-1988 ERIC SCHMALTZ A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGLISH YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JUNE 2018 © ERIC SCHMALTZ, 2018 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the emergence and development of a radical node of Canadian poetic activity known as the Language Revolution––that is, a movement concerned with the creation and proliferation of largely non-lyrical poetic modes by a number of Canadian poets whose careers mostly began in the 1960s and early 1970s. These poets include well-known writers like bpNichol, bill bissett, and Steve McCaffery alongside lesser-known but equally important figures such as Judith Copithorne, Martina Clinton, Gerry Shikatani, David UU, Susan McMaster, and Penn Kemp. As a loose affiliation, they gathered around shared values of poetic experimentation and small press literary culture, but they also actively pushed the boundaries of writing by exploring concrete poetry, sound poetry, and haptic poetry––the core topics of this dissertation’s three chapters. These poets described their work as “borderblur,” a term that acknowledges a broad range of poetic and artistic activity that seeks to dissolve boundaries between language, visuality, materiality, sound, and bodies. Over the course of this study, I examine how the poets of the Language Revolution develop a borderblur-based poetic as a reaction to problems posed by the expression of feeling during a period when human life was being standardized by emergent telecommunication technologies, a rapid increase in consumerism, and major shifts––documented by Marshall McLuhan and others––in human psychic and social life.
