Why choose this project topic?
This topic turns performance poetics into a focused reading task by investigating the relationship between printed layout and performed rhythm. A clearly bounded corpus gives you passages to compare and an argument to develop beyond a general plot summary.
What does a close analysis of authorised recordings and printed versions of six Nigerian performance poems reveal about the relationship between printed layout and performed rhythm?
Agree the corpus size, editions and critical framework for this study of the relationship between printed layout and performed rhythm with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the textual features relevant to the relationship between printed layout and performed rhythm.
- 02Build a documented evidence set from authorised recordings and printed versions of six Nigerian performance poems.
- 03Align pauses, emphasis and repetition with line breaks; record where performances depart from print.
A suggested research approach
Obtain lawful access to authorised recordings and printed versions of six Nigerian performance poems. Align pauses, emphasis and repetition with line breaks; record where performances depart from print. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.
What you will need
- Lawful access to authorised recordings and printed versions of six Nigerian performance poems
- A reading matrix for the relationship between printed layout and performed rhythm
- Relevant scholarly criticism and a consistent citation system
Keep your project scope clear
One recording cannot fix the only legitimate performance of a poem.
