摘要
＂见证诗歌＂理念最早由美国著名诗人卡洛琳·弗池于1981年提出,它强调诗歌的社会责任与政治性,主张诗歌以见证、记录历史及重大事件为己任,定格社会个人和体制在重大历史事件等极端情境下的困惑与反思,这也成为美国诗歌进入21世纪以来的全新发展趋势。本文重点考察新千年以来出版的数部美国诗歌选集,从纵横两个方向深入探讨该类诗歌创作思潮的缘起、内涵、社会价值、艺术策略,以及它所面临的挑战。
Set forth by American poet Carolyn Forch6 in 1981, ＂Poetry of Witness＂ as a literary concept has secured itself as the latest trend of American poetry in the 21st century by stressing social engagement and political value of poetry. It proposes that poetry assume the social responsibilities of witnessing and documenting major historical and social events by capturing the perplexities and introspections of individuals and institutions in conditions of extremity. Based on the scrutiny of a considerable number of major anthologies of American poetry particularly published since the New Millennium, this paper attempts to explore from both longitudinal and horizontal perspectives the dynamics of this body of American poetry, including its genesis, subject matter and social significance, aesthetic strategies, and the challenges it is now facing with.
