		Poetics was not influential in its time, and was generally understood to coincide with the more famous Rhetoric.
		Averroes’ commentary attempts to harmonize his assessment of the Poetics with al-Farabi’s, but he is ultimately unable to reconcile his ascription of moral purpose to poetry with al-Farabi’s logical interpretation.
		However, Averroes' interpretation of the Poetics was accepted by the West because of its relevance to their humanistic viewpoints, and at times, the philosophers of the Middle Ages even preferred Averroes’ commentary over Aristotle's actual meaning.

		"On Poetics" by Aristotle aims to give an account of poetry.
		Aristotle does this by attempting to explain poetry through first principles (1447a13), and by classifying poetry into its different genres and component parts.
		This occurs in Chapter 6 of "On Poetics:"

	David Bordwell - Historical Poetics of Cinema (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The poetics of any medium studies the finished work as the result of a process of construction--a process which includes a craft component (e.g., rules of thumb), the more general principles according to which the work is composed, and its functions, effects, and uses.
		Poetics does not put at the forefront of its activities phenomena such as the economic patterns of film distribution, the growth of the teenage audience, or the ideology of private property.
		Insofar as a poetics seeks to explain historically existing works, whatever its ontology or epistemology or discovery procedures, it requires an appeal to intersubjectively accepted data which are in principle amenable to alternative explanation.

	INTRODUCTION TO AN ESSAY ABOUT THE POETICS WHICH IS IN THE FORM OF LINER NOTES FOR A CD REISSUE BOX SET
		For Documenta, the plan in to build a three-tiered structure: the top level is a stage with drum set, microphone stand and PA system; the second level is a listening room; and the ground floor is an exhibition of period graphics, photos, and multi screen and television presentations of the various video segments.
		As far as I know, the Poetics were the first of the "Art Bands " to emerge from Cal Arts (not counting the Weirdos, considered to be the first Los Angeles Punk band, who had ties to the art school but formed outside of it).
		The first incarnation of the Poetics was called Polka Dot and the Spots and was inspired by a group of killer Little Wally singles found at the swap meet.

		On the same principle, even if a writer in his poetic imitation were to combine all meters, as Chaeremon did in his Centaur, which is a medley composed of meters of all kinds, we should bring him too under the general term poet.
		Part XXIII As to that poetic imitation which is narrative in form and employs a single meter, the plot manifestly ought, as in a tragedy, to be constructed on dramatic principles.
		Now, in the first place, this censure attaches not to the poetic but to the histrionic art; for gesticulation may be equally overdone in epic recitation, as by Sosistratus, or in lyrical competition, as by Mnasitheus the Opuntian.

		Since it is the "heart" which matters rather than the appearance, biblical poetics is consistent with biblical theology in telling us more about thoughts and feelings than about the appearance of characters.

		5.4 Marxist analysis of poetics, thus, is not primarily interested in the political views expressed in a poem,...
		6.3 Though dominant poetics may first appear as the poetics of the present, insofar as “the present” is the time of its domination, it is in fact not committed to the present but an interminable non-time.
		7.3 Much of the reluctance about politics in emergent poetics (and this reluctance too is part of history) comes from the knowledge that, unlike the cases of dominant and residual poetics, the relation to politics must be negotiated, and cannot be refused.

	Tsur, Aspects of Cognitive Poetics
		The actual objects of poetics are the particular regularities that occur in literary texts and that determine the specific effects of poetry; in the final analysis--the human ability to produce poetic structures and understand their effect--that is, something which one might call poetic competence (Bierwisch, 1970: 98-99).
		The cognitive correlates of poetic processes must be described, then, in three respects: the normal cognitive processes; some kind of modification or disturbance of these processes; and their reorganisation according to different principles.
		Given the fact that despite its complexity, poetic language is, in principle, interpretable, what are the general (i.e., non-specific to the poetic use of language) cognitive constraints, the adherence to which, guarantees the interpretability of poetic language.

		Recombinant Poetics is concerned with the combination and recombination of media-elements in the service of generating emergent meaning through interactivity.
		I am exploring a contemporary application of the word "poetics." The definition needs to be seen in terms of an art practice in which "imaginative" and evocative relationships are explored through the interactive experience of media-elements of language, image and music/sound within a computer-based, digital environment.

		Let me argue for a poetics on the move and formulated from my own thinking in transit, without finality and without the suffocating safeguard of certainty; a sort of broad experiment in negative capability projected along a hypothetical trajectory: from the end of poetics to a beginning from poetics.
		Rather than serving exclusively as the critical mode of poetics (as a species of self-policing and of external probing of the domain of the poem), it signals a shift in critical desire away from the poem-as-such towards other disciplines and discourses.
		The greatest threat to poetics is the poem itself, especially in the latter's claim to specific focus.

		Strangely, though, the Poetics itself is rarely read with the kind of sensitivity its critics claim to possess, and the thing criticized is not the book Aristotle wrote but a caricature of it.
		The poetic imagination is limited only by its skill, and can turn any object into a focus for any feeling.
		Within our small group of exemplary poetic works, there are two that do not have the tragic form, and hence do not concentrate all their power into putting us in a state of wonder, but also depict the state of wonder among their characters and contain speeches that reflect on it.

	Aristotle On Poetics
		Aristotle's much-translated On Poetics is the earliest and arguably the best treatment that we possess of tragedy as a literary form.
		As On Poetics is about how tragedy ought to be composed, it should not be surprising that it turns out to be a rather artful piece of literature in its own right.
		By following the connections Aristotle plots between On Poetics and his other works, readers will be in a position to appreciate the centrality of this little book for his thought on the whole.

		He reduces the drama to its language, people say, and the language itself to its least poetic element, the story, and then he encourages insensitive readers like himself to subject stories to crudely moralistic readings, that reduce tragedies to the childish proportions of Aesop-fables.
		Aristotle is often thought of as a logician, but he regularly uses the adverb logikôs, logically, as a term of reproach contrasted with phusikôs, naturally or appropriately, to describe arguments made by others, or preliminary and inadequate arguments of his own.
		The first scandal in the Poetics is the initial marking out of dramatic poetry as a form of imitation.

	Scoplaw: More Politics and Poetry - Airy Poetics (Part Seven) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Poetics and politics are to a degree linked and both are inescapable when considering a) any specific poem, b) the main thrust of a poet’s work (or any discrete subsection of the poet’s overall work).
		Or, if we were to draw ven diagrams for the majority of “issues” that poetics address, weighing those poetics for their relative popularity, we would select the combination of characteristics that capture the centerpoint in a variety of issues.
		So, with the conception of multiple audiences, it does not always follow that politically and socially conservative writers will hew to trite subjects in established forms, or that liberal activist writers will attempt to challenge society by producing consciousness-shifting works, although that may seem to be the case from the centerpoint.

		People do, indeed, add the word 'maker' or 'poet' to the name of the metre, and speak of elegiac poets, or epic (that is, hexameter) poets, as if it were not the imitation that makes the poet, but the verse that entitles them all indiscriminately to the name.
		Even when a treatise on medicine or natural science is brought out in verse, the name of poet is by custom given to the author; and yet Homer and Empedocles have nothing in common but the metre, so that it would be right to call the one poet, the other physicist rather than poet.
		On the same principle, even if a writer in his poetic imitation were to combine all metres, as Chaeremon did in his Centaur, which is a medley composed of metres of all kinds, we should bring him too under the general term poet.

		In our own projects, we are also led in various, sometimes strange directions through means that we might not initially be aware of using pieces of evidence not normally thought of as such.

		And yet one finds to one's dismay that the poetic imagination resists being made the tool of causes, even the noblest of causes.
		But some basic themes: there’s a disconnect between how many poets are taught (at least via the university and university-orbit publications) to view their poetics’ genealogies and the actual patterns/waves/cross-currents of influence, primary, secondary, and tertiary.
		Some of it can be found in the Airy Poetics posts, but the basic idea is that the individual acts aggregate into the profession/discipline, etc. It would be helpful to examine those individual acts and streamline both what we do and the dialogue we have about it.

		An embodied poetics would start by acknowledging that both poets & readers are responding to effects & powers originating in language & nowhere else; that these effects can be symbolized by analogy to the body or the reactions poetry creates, but that if we are talking poetics perhaps we should focus on specifically poetic effects.
		Subject: word leading the idea Joshua referred to Barthes' "One might call "poetic" (without value judgment) any discourse in which the word leads the idea." I like this idea, but wonder whether it's the word _leading_ the idea, or the words conducting a discourse/dance that is separate from the idea.
