It presents a reading of her work, both texts and vocal performances, in the context of her lifelong autocreative and performative project. The focus is on two intermedia productions which combine Miłobędzka’s texts and music. Taking note of the aesthetic of the deliberately faltering delivery (vox defectiva), the article analyzes the complex relationship between the poet and her unique voice. In line with the approach of Peter Middleton and Adriana Cavarero, the sound of her voice (delivery) is regarded as a constituent element of the intermedia poem. The article argues that it is not just the author’s reading voice but also the full acoustic range of the performance with its sound effects and silences should be given as much attention as the text (i.e. words on the page). Similarly, the scope of criticism should be broadened to include intermedia projects and the metapoetic discourse about voices and sounds. We would thus come to better understanding of the multi-sensory nature of literature and its workings as an interpersonal, reciprocal communication of individual speakers regardless of what they have to say (i.e. its semantic or pragmatic content).}, type={Artykuł}, title={“When I speak, I keep silent” Krystyna Miłobędzka’s notes in the context of sound studies and intermedia projects}, URL={http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132426/PDF/03_Ruch_Literacki_2023_06.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2023.148323}, keywords={Literature and intermedia, Polish contemporary literature, spoken-word poetry, aesthetics of reading, voice and sound studies, autocreation and performance, PeterMiddleton (b. 1950), Adriana Cavarero (b. 1947), Hanna “Rani” Raniszewska (b. 1990), Wacław Zimpel (b. 1983), Krystyna Miłobędzka (b. 1932)}, }
