POET’S BODY AS A MEDIA TEXT

Abstract
Due to the contemporary media technologies literature is given the opportunity to go beyond its own textual field. The performance of the texts (or of their fragments) together with musical pieces alongside with some elements of video compositions as well as amatory video (or audio) recordings of the public performances of the authors in different cultural contexts becomes more and more popular as an effective means of self/re/presentation of the writer and helps to create new inter/para/textual strategies of the artistic word actualization. Today it is possible to define several different forms of the Ukrainian poetry (or the poet’s) representation in the media space: the poetry declamation on the scene; the reading of the poems with a certain video or musical piece used as a background (or the usage of the poetry as a background); the author’s performance of the poetry in the context of a certain pre-modeled space (for example, a train station, a metro station, stairs, a street, a ruined house, etc.); a synthetic performance (the poet on the stage reads his own poetry accompanied by life music united with a certain video, which he comments from time to time; at the same time the poet reproduces the musical rhythm with the help of his body movements and in such a way he unites all the components of this performance in one discourse); so called «video-books» (as in media-projects based on the works of Y. Isdryk, where the author’s body in the direct meaning becomes a text in the media space, revealing and brining extra-verbal contexts to the forefront). In all these varieties of media-discourse not only the poetic texts are present but also the poet himself (his appearance, voice, mimics, and gestures). The personality of the poet in this case accumulates at the same time the author’s interpretation of the performed text, the image of the artist himself at the moment of creation (re/creation) of the text and the obvious orientation towards the recipient involving him in such a way in the process of the direct on-line communication. In this context the poet – in his bodily manifestation – becomes an important (and from the point of view of the reception – the most important) part of his own text, its author’s interpretation ‘embodiment’.
