Speculative Poetics::Project Overview – Spekulative Poetik.

Speculative poetics connects the language-based poststructuralist philosophy of recent decades with the contemporary interest in ontology. Speculative thought (be it Hegel’s, Benjamin’s, or, more recently, Quentin Meillassoux’s) calls for a self-determination in its practice of language. In this sense, linguistic and philosophical approaches to language ontology are interested in poiesis, which provide an ontological reinterpretation of the correlationist myth of the world’s creation by language: language changes the world.
