She argues that poetry often became polished and defensive, avoiding abstraction and political engagement, while institutional forces—such as key editors and the “New Generation” promotion—both shaped and homogenized the field. Situating these developments within post-war austerity and Britain’s cultural openness to the United States, Sampson also reflects on issues of diversity, noting the marginalization of experimental, African, and Caribbean voices. She concludes that poetic “deregulation” mirrored Thatcherite economics, producing both opportunities and constraints. jeu., 18 sept. 2025 21:56:14 +0200 sam., 18 oct. 2025 17:52:59 +0200 http://revueties.org/entree/index.php?/ties/contemporary-british-poetry-and-the-long-1980s/1381-interview-with-fiona-sampson http://revueties.org/entree/index.php?/ties/contemporary-british-poetry-and-the-long-1980s/1379-introduction This special issue is devoted to contemporary British poetry and the cultural, political, and aesthetic legacies of the “long 1980s.” It takes as its point of departure Sean O’Brien’s 1995 hypothesis on the deregulation of poetry, formulated against the backdrop of Thatcherite economics and the wider turn to neoliberalism. While Thatcher famously insisted that “there is no alternative,” the British poetry of the period and its aftermath have been marked by an insistence on alternatives: a proliferation of forms, voices, and aesthetics that both respond to and resist the dominant culture. The essays collected here explore whether this “deregulation” has fostered poetic innovation—in terms of diction, prosody, rhythm, and form—or whether it has fragmented the field into self-regulating niches, each defined by its own conventions and exclusions. They also examine the institutional, editorial, and cultural contexts that have shaped poetic production since the 1980s, and reflect on questions of authority, diversity, and marginalisation on the poetry scene. Together, the contributions reassess the ways in which deregulation has served as both an enabling and a constraining force in British poetry, illuminating its continuities, its ruptures, and its ongoing negotiation with the long 1980s. jeu., 18 sept. 2025 16:19:16 +0200 lun., 29 sept. 2025 14:05:44 +0200 http://revueties.org/entree/index.php?/ties/contemporary-british-poetry-and-the-long-1980s/1379-introduction http://revueties.org/entree/index.php?/ties/poetique-politique-l-esthetique-en-partage/576-carol-ann-duffy-s-dramatic-monologues-lyric-otherness-ethical-distance-and-political-subjectivization Poétesse Lauréate du Royaume-Uni, Carol Ann Duffy s’inscrit dans une tradition littéraire marquée par le féminisme, qui tente de faire entendre les voix et les récits de celles dont l’histoire n’a pas conservé la trace. Cet article étudie plusieurs de ses monologues dramatiques pour tenter de montrer que, bien qu’elle reste fidèle à un emploi pré-moderniste de cette forme, les voix qu’elle construit ne sont pas véritablement monologiques. Malgré leur apparente unité, ces poèmes incluent souvent une présence lyrique seconde qui remet en question l’identité du discours fictionnel. En me référant au concept de processus de subjectivation forgé par Jacques Rancière, j’essaie de montrer que Duffy ne donne pas, à proprement parler, une voix à ses personnages, mais bien qu’elle crée un espace entre-deux où interagissent voix fictionnelle et présence lyrique. Ainsi, elle refuse de parler pour, mais choisit de parler avec. En cela, ses poèmes proposent une posture éthique qui tente de rester fidèle à un des éléments fondamentaux du féminisme de la troisième vague. Certains monologues exploitent par ailleurs leur relation à d’autres média (peinture, œuvres d’art, lectures publiques), et ce faisant pluralisent encore davantage les voix qui habitent ces poèmes. Ses monologues dramatiques produisent dès lors la possibilité d’une communauté d’expérience. Enfin, l’article suggère que le politique ne se situe pas seulement dans la création d’une satire d’inspiration féministe, mais qu’il faut avant tout le chercher dans l’exploration des possibilités de la voix poétique au sein du monologue dramatique, puisqu’elle introduit un dissensus au sein-même de la notion d’identité, ouvrant ainsi un espace de subjectivation politique au sein du poétique. British Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy is part of a tradition of feminist writers setting out to make readers hear the unheard stories and voices of unknown historical female figures. This article examines some of Duffy’s dramatic monologues and attempts to show that the voices constructed in the poems are not plainly monologic, often including as they do a secondary lyric presence questioning the identity constructed by the fictional speech. Using Rancière’s concept of a process of subjectivization, I try to show that Duffy creates an in-between space for a fictional voice and a lyric presence to interact. Rather than speaking for she speaks with, thereby trying to remain ethically faithful to a premise of third-wave feminism. Some of her monologues also exploit their relationship with off-the-page media, further pluralizing the poems’ voices. Her dramatic monologues therefore open the possibility of a community of experience. The article finally suggests that the political in these monologues does not only lie in their satirical and feminist content but in the fact that Duffy’s exploration of the possibilities of poetic voice within the dramatic monologue allows for a dissent from the very notion of identity while providing a poetic space for political subjectivization. mer., 24 avril 2019 18:31:40 +0200 jeu., 16 mai 2019 11:19:24 +0200 http://revueties.org/entree/index.php?/ties/poetique-politique-l-esthetique-en-partage/576-carol-ann-duffy-s-dramatic-monologues-lyric-otherness-ethical-distance-and-political-subjectivization
