Lionel Fogarty and the Sign: Resonances of Transnational Blackness
摘要
Michael Griffiths provides another transnational orientation into Fogarty’s poetry through the semiotic contours of his decolonising poetics. The chapter explores the changing registers and histories underlying Fogarty’s language so as to present a wider picture of his interest in surreality, connection, dislocation, and totality. Griffiths links direct, interpersonal influences and connections with intertextual exchanges using the concept of ‘resonance,’ by which he refers to Fogarty’s suggestive and associative style of signification.
