Performance poético: bases para el estudio del Burdel Poético de Bogotá

Abstract

Performance Poetry: Basis for a study of the Poetry Brothel in Bogota is a qualitative study that analyzes the older and recent history of performance poetry and its relation to oral productions of literature. Through this, the present work raises two categories in order to analyse the performance poetry in Bogota called Poetry Brothel: body and voice. This experience has as its basis the idea of the prostitute. A group of poets in Bogota build a series of characters that interact with the public thoruh a monetary transaction in which espectators pay for a private reading. Then, the Poetry Brothel embodies the idea of the whispering a space for intimacy in a public performance, and the relation between poetry and prostitution: the writer in the space of the abject, the unwanted, and how the autor names themselves outside the margins.
