Basil Bunting’s Objectivist Perspective in Poetry and Musical Association

Farid Parvaneh, Raaheleh Sadaat Araabi

Abstract


Basil Bunting, British poet, is one of the rare great modernists who have not been given their due or properly studied. An understanding of his work will help us understand modernism more appropriately. Reference will also be made to opponents who put sight and visuality over and above everything else in man’s effort to acquire knowledge of this world in general. The researchers in this article seek to achieve two goals in this paper. The first or the main goal is to consider the Modern English poet Basil Bunting’s Objectivist roots according to Mitchell’s paper in 2008. The second goal, which naturally emerges from the first one is to present sound play from Bunting’s own view and define them, regarding to Schott’s contributions in 2003, in a part of his long poem, Briggflatts, which lead to the kind of Aural and visual dancing. Then we will conclude , as Bunting mentions more and more, poetry is only its sound.
Key words: Bunting; Objectivism; Poetry; Sound; Visuality; Aurality

Résumé: Basil Bunting, poète britannique, est l'un des rares grands modernistes qui n'ont pas reçu leur dû ou n'ont pas été bien étudiés. Une bonne compréhension de son travail nous aidera à comprendre le modernisme de façon plus appropriée. Des références seront également faits pour des opposants qui ont mis la vue et la visualité au-delà de tout le reste de l'effort de l'homme d'acquérir des connaissances de ce monde en général. Les chercheurs de cet article visent à atteindre deux objectifs dans le présent document. Le premier ou le principal but est d'examiner les racines objectivistes du poète moderne anglais Basil Bunting selon le document de Mitchell en 2008. Le deuxième objectif, qui découle naturellement du première objectif est de présenter diffuser un show sonore du point de vue personnel de Bunting et les définir, en se référençant aux contributions de Schott en 2003, dans une partie de son poème long, Briggflatts, qui conduit à une sorte de bande sonore et de danse visuelle. Ensuite, nous allons conclure que, comme Bunting mentionne de plus en plus, la poésie est seulement le son.
