Voices of Spanish Poets: Vocal Archive and Experimental Study on Poetry Reading

Project description

Reviving Spanish poetry through digital humanities and artistic expression

Readers of treasure trove of Spanish poetry have not been able to enjoy in-depth appreciation of the written verses through their vocalised rendition. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, the VSP project will take a pioneering leap into digital humanities and artistic expression. The initiative strives to breathe life into the recorded voices of modern Spanish poets. Through an innovative fusion of digital humanities and interdisciplinary methodologies, VSP’s mission is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, uncovering the intricate melodic essence contained within poetic verses. With its innovative cross-disciplinary strategies, VSP not only promises to redefine teaching and performance techniques but also serves as a springboard for collaborative initiatives and multilingual explorations.

Objective

"""Voices of Spanish Poets"" aims to present a first experimental study of Spanish poetry reading through the instruments of Digital Humanities. The main goal of VSP is to store, enhance and explore the recorded voices of XX century and contemporary Spanish poets using an interdisciplinary approach. The relationship between text and reading is crucial for appreciating the deeper musical core of poetry. Although it has been treated through mainly theoretical approaches, more recent international experimental studies, based on audio recordings, offer novel avenues of exploration which still require further development. While poetry vocal archives constitute a major source of input for the main schools working on this issue, research dealing with Spanish poetry reading has not yet been carried out. The VSP project fills this knowledge gap by means of its four main objectives: to create a dynamic digital platform for the study and listening of Spanish poetry reading; to conduct an Experimental Phonetic study on the VSP archive, developing a first History of Spanish poetry reading; to study poetry reading through an Experimental Psycholinguistic, Cognitive and Psychophysiologic approach, considering the perception and representation of the text through listening; to integrate these two last research approaches. This proposal will combine qualitative, quantitative, and comparative approaches. Based on innovative and interdisciplinary methods, VSP can make a great difference in the success and dissemination of the research field of poetry reading study. The VSP platform aims to be an important digital resource for listening and learning of poetry. The integrated experimental studies can contribute to the improvement of performance and teaching strategies and innovate the approach to reading poetry. The project is suited to further applications and can be the starting point for future collaborative research groups and wider multi-language projects."
