Commons Museums:Pedagogies for Taking Ownership of What is Lost
Full text linkThis chapbook centres pedagogy within a new model of museum practice that prioritizes community. It focuses on two cultural institutions in Indonesia, the Pagesangan School in Yogyakarta and the Lakoat.Kujawas in Mollo, East Nusa Tenggara, and uses the concept of the ‘commons museums’, which encompasses heritage, memory, and knowledge production to shape futures. The historical theft of cultural heritage and the extraction of natural resources are situated in Indonesia’s post-Reformation context, with collective archives becoming methodologies for survival. The commons museum expands perspectives around restitution, foregrounding collective research and community struggles as instruments for restoring justice and recovering knowledge.Note on NamesIntroduction: ‘Commons Museums’ as a Counter-Authoritative Form of ‘Worlding’Pagesangan and Lakoat.Kujawas as Historical BodiesDifferent Seasons at WorkHow to Talk Back: Training Sensibilities for Diverse KnowledgeNon-Extractive Attitude: Community Research Methodology and Knowledge ProductionConcluding NotesReference
Lyric, Detachment, and Collectivity:On Carl Phillips’s ‘Hymn’
Full text linkThis essay outlines a series of parallels between queer critiques of community and the concept of lyric detachment in modern poetics. It suggests that this shared suspicion of community can provide one starting point for a reconsideration of how ‘counterintimacies’, as described by Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner, are figured in queer poetry. In order to illustrate this, it examines interactions between lyric tropes and homoerotic practices in Carl Phillips’s poem ‘Hymn’
Rethinking Lyric Communities
No full textIn contemporary Western societies, lyric poetry is often considered an elitist or solipsistic literary genre. Yet a closer look at its history reveals that lyric has always been intertwined with the politics of community formation, from the imagining of national and transnational discursive communities, to the use of poetry in episodes of collective action, protest, and social resistance. Poetic forms have circulated between languages and traditions from around the world and across time. But how does lyric poetry address or even create communities — and of what kinds? This volume takes a global perspective to investigate poetic communities in dialogue with recent developments in lyric theory and concepts of community. In doing so, it explores both the political potentialities and the perils of lyric poetry.Rethinking Lyric Communities: Introduction | IRENE FANTAPPIÈ, FRANCESCO GIUSTI AND LAURA SCURIATTI | 1-13Lyric Address and the Problem of Community | JONATHAN CULLER | 15-29Millay Repairs Baudelaire | SABINE I.
