About the book (from Uitgeverij):
An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is the first book-length publication to collect the work of a community of writers on the edges of illegibility. Asemic writing is a galaxy-sized style of writing, which is everywhere yet remains largely unknown. For human observers, asemic writing may appear as lightning from a storm, a crack in the sidewalk, or the tail of a comet. But despite these observations, asemic writing is not everything: it is just an essential component, a newborn supernova dropped from a calligrapher’s hand. Asemic writing is simultaneously communicating with the past and the future of writing, from the earliest undeciphered writing systems to the xenolinguistics of the stars; it follows a peregrination from the preliterate, beyond the verbal, finally ending in a postliterate condition in which visual language has superseded words. An Anthology of Asemic Handwriting is compiled and edited by Tim Gaze from Asemic magazine and Michael Jacobson from The New Post-Literate blog.

pagine estive (o quasi) che vanno bene anche per l’autunno _ (13) l’ibridazione, lo scambio tra campi verbali e visivi

Commentando questo articolo (in particolare il punto 4), dico che a mio parere precisamente l’ibridazione, lo scambio tra campi verbali e visivi, la persistenza ed estensione e ampliamento della scrittura verbovisiva in paesi che non sono l’Italia, segnano non solo la continuazione di una storia secolare, ma precisamente quella “trasformazione” o addirittura quell’assalto alla monoliticità dei generi che l’articolo giustamente segnala e invoca. Il fatto è che l’Italia è stata un prodigioso motore di ricerche, avanguardie, esperimenti, passando poi il testimone a: tutto il resto del mondo. Che in Italia il motore sia semispento, o che non se ne avverta la vitalità se non in individui quasi isolati, non significa affatto immobilità della macchina globale, non italiana, che giusto il nostro paese ha contribuito con altri (Brasile, Francia, Germania, Cecoslovacchia) ad avviare.

(p.s.: quale poesia visiva è in crisi? Quella italiana, forse, probabilmente; non certo quella mondiale. E poi: quale, tra le molte italiane?)
