Barbi Marković: Poetics lecture between doubts and creativity!

Salzburg, Österreich - The highly expected poetics lecture by Barbi Marković on the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg will start in a few days. Two years ago, the author accepted this order and wanted to present a clever, serious examination of the letter that relates to greats such as Benjamin, Vonnegut and Woolf. But just 14 days before the deadline, she realizes that the ideas do not write on its own. How she encounters this challenge is almost exciting like a thriller.

Marković, who was born in Belgrade and has lived in Vienna since 2006, will present her poetics lecture entitled "Steal. Scolding. Playing" in three parts. On Monday, May 13, 2024, the topic of "stealing" will start, where it treats the cultural insolence of the style, illuminates its own influence and challenges of originality. On Tuesday, “scolding” follows, which deals with the strength and rhythm of tirades, which illustrate how power relationships are also structured in language. The last part, "playing", on Wednesday, addresses the formal constraints and text game influences, taking bonds at the Oulipo School and dealing with the distance between the author and text.

literary examination of doubts

The challenge of presenting results, Marković self -deprived. She is aware that she does not owe anything to anyone and positions her poetics lecture as an unconventional form of dealing with the letter. She also gives insights into her work "The Shit time", in which she reflects the swear and game culture of the Serbian youth in the 1990s. In her novel "Mini -Horror", which will be awarded the Prize of the Leipzig Book Fair in 2024, she addresses the nightmares of medium -sized companies and everyday life. She uses a laconic language with a touch of weird imagination.

The poetics lecture will not only be an analysis of your writing processes, but also a critical exploration of the literature as a whole. Marković would like to show how internal crises in the literature find space, similar to Ferdinand Schmalz, who spoke last year at the opening speech of the Ingeborg-Bachmann competition. For lard, good literature is the one that shows real inner life and is not afraid to convey these horrors to the audience.

The event is organized by the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg and the Salzburg Literature Forum reading lamp and takes place on the premises of Archabt-Klotz-Strasse 1. On Thursday, May 16, 2024, your reading will also take place from “mini -horror”, which begins at 7:00 p.m. This book presentation promises to give another facet of your topics such as bullying and failed vacations. With free admission, moderator Magdalena will lead through the evening and the protagonists of "Mini -Horror" - the two characters Mini and Miki - present with their horror scenarios in everyday life.

Barbi Marković has made a name for itself in the Austrian literary scene, not least because of her previously published works such as "going out" (2009) and "superheldinnen" (2016). Her awards, including the Literature Prize Alpha and the Priessnitz Prize, are evidence of their literary talent. At a time when writing is often shaped by external printing factors, it shows that self -questioning and uncertainty are not only part of the creative process, but can also generate valuable content.
