Historical experience and poetic identities in modern Greek poetry (1970-1990) Jenny Mastoraki and Katerina Gogou

This Ph.D. thesis examines the poems of Jenny Mastoraki and Katerina Gogou as historical narratives of "eccentric subjects" during the period of 1970-1990 in Greece. Both poets were selected because their work was published within this period, but also because their work can be seen as a modernist example of binary oppositions: Mastoraki, a poet included in the Greek literary canon, was read as a poet of form, language, art, personal engagement, while Gogou, excluded from the Greek literary canon, was considered to be a poet of the content, of experience, life, political engagement that belonged to a “subculture”.
The parallel reading of these poets’ work problematizes established and hegemonic binary analytical categories, such as form/content, spirit/body, art/life, private/public, as well as the associated with these binary oppositions, emerging at the ’70s, analytic category of "female poetry". The Ph.D. thesis is nevertheless not about the identity of engendered subjects or about the poetry written by women at that period of time, but about presenting the historical, political, ontological, and engendered on the part of men, construction of hegemonic aesthetic categories. Thus, presenting the historical challenges related with the emergence of diverse and new poetic identities.
The poems of Mastoraki and Gogou follow a “grey” genealogy, which does not identify the collective with the national. Despite aesthetic diversities, both poets’ poetic subjects narrate the legacy of the decentralization of the political engendered subject (both as a notion and existence) and its resistance until death.
The Ph.D. thesis demonstrates how poetic discourses can be read as performative and agonistic narrations of human beings that resist their unjust and political death. The thesis discusses about a kind of poetry that can historicize, but also about a certain history that can see the light through poetic discourses. It is about “eccentric subjects” on the verge of postmodern era that can become dialogical, only by experiencing the tragic.
