big money for fast words:
local slams raise the stakes

Poetry slams continue assimilating into the American literary landscape, just as they have for nearly two decades. Where the slam phenomenon is relatively new, novelty is often enough to attract an audience. But what if slam poetry has been established for some time in a given place? How do poets and poetry promoters capture the attention of a public who have adapted to slam's presence, and no longer consider it new?

One answer: Bigger money. Prizes at local poetry slams in this writer's experience have ranged from bottle openers (Hamburg, LAOLA Club, 1996) to boxes of macaroni and cheese (Chicago, Green Mill, 1990s). Typical prize money might buy enough food for a good, home cooked meal. However, some poetry venues have been upping the ante and so hoping to attract larger crowds and more competitive poets to their stages. They are beginning to offer prizes in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars. A few manage to do this on a regular basis.

Charles Ellik, the host of the Berkeley, California slams, announced that his venue's October programming will build around a "$1000 Slam." The prize pot splits thus: $500 for first place, $300 for second, and $200 for third. 2004 is the second year he's managed to do this, and he anticipates it will become an annual fixture on Berkeley's lit/arts calendar.

Ellik's venue is officially sanctioned and recognized by PSI (Poetry Slam, Inc.). But big money prizes are not all contained by the official domain of slam. In Baltimore, Maryland, Lamar Hill is producing a $500 slam on 7 October. Similarly, slams for special causes have been launched here in Chicago and elsewhere, as a way to gather audiences and artists in recognition of particular causes, and part of their draw has been built from offering large awards.

The ecological effects of adding money to slam poetry's audience/artist equation are not well-known outside National Slam events, though there is plenty of precedence for extending large prize monies to poets. Such money would hardly be snubbed by most page poets, for example, since big money prizes have been offered for print-based poetry contests for years. Reviewing the back pages of back issues Poets & Writers magazine establishes that very well.

But once a performance poet has built a reputation, they can also charge significant amounts as featured readers/performers on tour. Honoraria for featured artists in the US range from around $50 for modest venues in city- or neighborhood-based festivals, to $500 or more for one-day appearances at universities or main stage venues in larger cities. Additional perks may include lodging and/or transport. But that higher price may not include the poet in a workshop or a panel discussion; goodies such as those are often negotiated.

in cyberculture...

in the mix, or not?
Madonna resampling leaves original artists' rights at issue

Ordinarily a remix of Madonna isn't newsworthy here because we don't confuse Madonna's work as a pop music artist with poetry. But we were piqued when we discovered how one particular remix of this pop star amounted to cultural blowback from the cyberculture. To follow this story deeper, click to the Madonna remix project on irixx.org.

It runs like this: Madonna was concerned that her latest club tracks were suffering diminished sales from peer-to-peer sound file swapping. Thinking she might subvert the process, she released MP3 files of her own into KaZaA, a peer-to-peer network. Online, the files had the appearance of being genuine until the user played them, whereupon they'd hear Madonna's blunt admonishment, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

Naturally, such a sample was too good for DJs and mixmasters to leave alone. And so began the Madonna remix project, giving rise to numerous tracks bearing the initials "WTF". Some of the mixes are fairly artistic, too, which does much to elevate the cultural criticism of Madonna, and legitimize online fileswapping practices. A statement on behalf of KaZaA regarding a recent judgement in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, advocates responsible file-swapping while praising the Court's judgement. The Court found that peer-to-peer software by itself does not violate US copyright law. The judgement may have some effect on similar cases in Australia.

The Madonna remix story refreshes issues known since Negativland's "The story of the Letter U and the Number 2", a book based on the making of a CD and the legal issues descended from sampling. Negativland's CD, released in 1991, appropriated music by the band U2 and out-take voiceover by syndicated radio host Casey Kasem. Legal disputes over the band's fair use of that material pitched them all into court. (An archived Wired magazine article outlines this.) Common to Madonna's, U2's, and Kasem's situations is their fame. The fact that their voices are iconic creates an incentive for their appropriation.

Interpreting the situation deeper, the Madonna remix story also reveals concerns to lesser-known originating artists. Without fame to signify them first, and so establish their reputation, such artists may have more to fear from resampling. There appears to be a cultural frontier that overlays legal prerogative. In DJ culture, a remix is often considered a complement, and remixing is an accepted token of recognition. But in other literary cultures where credit particularly goes to originality, appropriation can take on many shades of language and intent: an homage or elegy, a simple acknowledgement or friendly nod, a criticism, a parody, possible libel if maliciously contextualized, or outright plagiarism.

A spoken word artist can sometimes ride such a sample to aid their own fame. In the early 1990s, the group S-Express mixed samples of Karen Finley's monologues into their own club music tracks. As a result, Finley enjoyed a revival of her reputation among an audience where she hadn't been well-known, in the house music scene of the day. Reading the recording, one can hear a sypathetic (if bodacious) use of Finley ranting, "Suck me off! Suck me off!" lifted out of context from her original performance, but nevertheless serving the purpose of the track and, to some degree, of Finley, too. (For background on Finley, click to Yahoo's directory, or read this tribute by Matt Gleason on Coagula.com.)

Finley's language is at least as blunt as Madonna's in this case. Both women are about the same age and have fashioned "bad girl" reputations for themselves in the public eye. But where one operates in pop and profit, the other operates in gritty art and relative poverty; music mixers can read this plainly. In the S-Express track there seems to be a positive relationship between speaker and music, framed in the traditional citation-as-homage of the DJ. But where the antipathy was offered plainly in Madonna's red herring track, it was answered in kind, albeit also in artistic ways, as cultural blow-back.

the view from here...
As poets and monologuists shift more and more to audio and new media, their language will be more remixed. What happens when the language of the poet becomes the sound of the DJ? What ethics and law will govern the creative (re-)application of their original works? And will poets take a more active role in behalf of their language as audio art?

Thanks go out to Deadhorse.org for bringing this thread to our attention. For artists and readers interested in pursuing this further in the academic domain, see the call for papers below from the University of Iowa.

Collage as Cultural Practice
Univ. of Iowa, Iowa City
24-26 March, 2005

Call for Papers: Deadline 15 October
The "Collage as Cultural Practice" conference seeks to examine interventionist collage practices in all media, with an emphasis on the social, political and legal implications of this method of appropriation.

The conference will interrogate the political and social dimensions of collage as a practice that enables oppositional commentary across the cultural spectrum: from the leftist collages of the Dadaists and Situationists to the unauthorized use of corporate trademarks, interventions by queer activists, as well as the more recent flurry of internet-distributed anti-war video collage pieces that appropriate from the mainstream media in satirical ways.

This conference will gather scholars of, and practitioners in, the media of film and video, music, literature, visual arts and beyond -- putting together a series of panels, performances and screenings, as well as an exhibit at the University of Iowa Museum of Art on "Interventionist Collage: From Dada to Negativland."

Confirmed Speakers: Patricia R. Zimmermann (Ithaca College, Department of Cinema and Photography); Rosemary Coombe (Canada Research Chair in Law at York University); Carrie McLaren (Curator of Illegal Art Show, Publisher of Stay Free! magazine); Mark Hosler (Negativland); Lloyd Dunn (Tape-beatles); Philo Farnsworth (Illegal Art); Douglas Kahn (UC-Davis); Ximena Cuevas (video artist, Mexico City)

Possible Session Topics:
Collage and the Beat Movement
Collage and Copyright
Found Footage Film and Video
Dada & Surrealist Collage
Situationist and Fluxus Collages
Feminist Strategies of Appropriation
Collage in the Digital Age
Collage: Remixing Cultures
Collage: The Cultural Politics of Appropriation
Collage: From musique concrète to Hip Hop
Collage: Queer Interventions

Send 250-word proposals for papers to Rudolf Kuenzli or Kembrew McLeod by 15 October, 2004. Conference registration is free.

Louisiana State University
15th annual Mardi Gras conference:
call for papers on merging word & image

From Logos "the word" to Logo "the icon," the situation that English Studies finds itself in at the beginning of the 21st century is one of mixed cultures, integrated technologies, and hybrid writing styles. Visual rhetoric is vying for the same status as textual rhetoric, and scientists, educators, and artists continue to utilize a postmodern idea of fragmentation to redefine the stark binaries and boundaries of literacy from critical/personal to art/science to left brain/right brain.

The current trend towards hybrid genres creates a new kind of literacy that has gained recognition through interdisciplinary fields, such as film studies, American studies, educational technology studies, and communication studies. This conference invites presentations from all disciplines to explore the relationships between text and image and its impact on literacy.

Possible panels include:

• performative, intertextual and/or hypertextual writing
• new media practice in the classroom
• pedagogical exploration and application of visual literacy
• (computer) memory and self: searching for the individual online
• fragmentation of identity through fragmented text
• somewhere between the written and the oral: using film as a pedagogical tool
• photography: a visual text
• conferencing the performative paper; performing the conference paper
• orality in a textual world
• advertising as a cultural mirror
• literacy lost, literacy found: medieval women's writing
• Barthes and punctum: memory as text
• ethnography: mapping the personal
• searching for the diegesis in different mediums
• hybrid truths: the nonfiction ego
• FragmentNation: the subversion of racial and gender identity markers

Abstracts are invited on these topics or on work that interprets the conference theme more broadly. Creative submissions are definitely welcome. The conference is also open to those who wish to attend without presenting a paper. The deadline for abstracts (no more than 500 words) is October 15, 2004. For a more detailed outline of the conference, see the LSU English graduate studies website or the conference website.
