Talk:Zaum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
zaum language...... a musical group with a debut release "electrolite gelcaps".
I still don't really know what zaum is. "Language experiments?" What was the nature of these experiments? What was he doing? I get that he was going beyond sense and rationality etc., but how? How did these experiments differ from poetry, if at all? Could you include a sample text? This is an intriguing beginning to what sounds like it could be an interesting subject...but I think much more elaboration is needed--as it is, this is kind of a tease. ;)
- Linguistically a parallel may be drawn with Finnegans Wake, though zaum poetry was more radical in approach and spontaneous in nature. --Ghirla | talk 16:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
the use of the sound, rhythm, shape of words rather than the meaning- a bit like onomatipea. so a poem might include neologisms ('kissel' for example) and not form logical sentances or associations.
i think joyce was using similar transport to move in the opposite direction (t/w the specific rather then the unversal).
