Autobiographical Language Poetry and the Contesting of Textual Authority in Scholarship: Reading the Letters of Leslie Scalapino and Marjorie Perloff レスリー・スカルピーノとマジョリー・パーロフとの書簡交換における詩人と研究者との間の本文の典拠と緊張状態 Kuckelman, Meghan めーがん, くっくるまん 名桜大学総合研究所 レスリー・スカルピーノ マジョリー・パーロフ ランゲージ・ポエトリー 自伝文学 Leslie Scalapino Marjorie Perloff Language poetry autobiography archival research Through an analysis of an unpublished letter exchange between the late Leslie Scalapino and Marjorie Perloff, I explore the ramifications of scholarly authority as it intersects with authorial intention in autobiographical Language poetry. In 1998, Perloff published an article that included a short reading of a 1976 Scalapino poem. Scalapino disagreed with Perloff’s analysis, particularly in the way that the latter “reordered the intention.” The disagreement resulted in a three-letter exchange between the two and a long essay by Scalapino, in which she considered the constructedness of experience and the ways in which her resistance against that constructedness in her poetry was, in her mind, misread. My analysis of the letter exchange and the essay shows that scholars of poetry cannot be easily grouped in the same category as casual readers since the institutional authority backing their “readings” maintains the social hierarchy that poets like Scalapino have deliberately worked against. application/pdf 名桜大学総合研究所 eng departmental bulletin paper VoR https://meio-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/1402 1881-5243 27 63 71 https://meio-u.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/1402/files/No27p63.pdf application/pdf 552.7 kB 2020-12-03
