The conference focuses on the explosive development of poetry, which we have witnessed in recent decades. We have seen more extensive sampling poetry, and an orientation towards sound and performance, as well as syntheses between poetry and visual artistic expressions, and new poetic forms of interaction on the Internet. The aim of the conference is to develop new interdisciplinary methods for reading contemporary poetry, and to discuss the literary-historical, art-historical, social and political implications of the expansion of the poetic genre.
