Abstract
The two most prominent innovations for 20th century poetry were the cinema and a specific kind of corporeality that embedded itself in literary milieus. Although these two innovations took place in the first quarter of the 20th century, their impact on poetry became evident only much later, and they still influence and shape the contemporary Russian poetry. This article analyzes how these two innovations induced changes in the design of poetic texts and their modes of subjectivity, particularly in contemporary Russian poetry, which regards them at this point not as experiments but as well-established practices. The article offers an exploration of the subject in philosophy which is then applied to a more detailed description of the connections between poetry and cinema since the historical avant-garde (Aleksei Kruchenykh). The essay concludes with a comparative discussion focused on the Russian poetry of the last 25 years (Aleksandr Skidan, Leonid Schwab, Nina Stavrogina).
