What is LIBERATURE?<\/strong>
\u201cLiber, libra, libertas, liberature. Liberature is liberty, an artistic liberty which goes beyond boundaries between genres and the arts. It is a literature which no longer bows to convention, to canons and to critics. It is the written word which has a role to play in the construction of a book. It is a literature which takes the latter into account in its capacity as a physical object\u201d, wrote\u00a0Katarzyna BAZARNIK<\/strong>, one of the founders of liberature, in her work Od Joyce\u2019a do liberatury (From Joyce to liberature). To put it in other words, liberature is a literary work in which the artistic message is conveyed not only via a verbal medium but also via a book which is viewed as a whole. In these books, a drawing or a blank space have the power of a poetical metaphor, the typography is raised to the status of a stylistic instrument. The book as material object stops being a mere neutral vessel, becoming an element which is brimming with the work. The term „Liberature” was coined in 1999 by the Polish poet\u00a0Zenon FAJFER<\/strong>\u00a0who, alongside\u00a0Katarzyna Bazarnik<\/strong>, produced the first book in the genre:\u00a0Oka-leczenie<\/em>\u00a0(Mute-I-Late<\/em>). 9 prototypes came out in 2000; 1001 copies were put on sale in 2009. A Liberature collection, which, to date, includes more than 20 volumes, was issued by\u00a0Korporacja Ha!Art<\/a>\u00a0en 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liberature is liberty, an artistic liberty which goes beyond boundaries between genres and the arts. It is a literature which no longer bows to convention, to canons and to critics. It is the written word which has a role to play in the construction of a book. It is a literature which takes the latter into account in its capacity as a physical object\u201d, wrote\u00a0Katarzyna BAZARNIK, one of the founders of liberature, in her work Od Joyce\u2019a do liberatury (From Joyce to liberature). To put it in other words, liberature is a literary work in which the artistic message is conveyed not only via a verbal medium but also via a book which is viewed as a whole. In these books, a drawing or a blank space have the power of a poetical metaphor, the typography is raised to the status of a stylistic instrument. The book as material object stops being a mere neutral vessel, becoming an element which is brimming with the work. The term \"Liberature\" was coined in 1999 by the Polish poet\u00a0Zenon FAJFER\u00a0who, alongside\u00a0Katarzyna Bazarnik, produced the first book in the genre:\u00a0Oka-leczenie\u00a0(Mute-I-Late). 9 prototypes came out in 2000; 1001 copies were put on sale in 2009. A Liberature collection, which, to date, includes more than 20 volumes, was issued by\u00a0Korporacja Ha!Art\u00a0en 2003.\nKatarzyna BAZARNIK\nCo-author of liberatura books, theorist of literature, translator, and Joyce scholar, an assistant professor at the Institute of English Philology of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, and a lecturer in the postgraduate programme for Literary Translation, where she runs translation workshops. Together with Zenon Fajfer she wrote the first books to be called liberature: a triple-volume\u00a0Oka-leczenie\u00a0(Mute-I-Late, prototype edition 2000, 1st\u00a0ed. 2009) and\u00a0(O)patrzenie\u00a0(Ga(u)ze, 2003), which initiated \u201cLiberatura\u201d series of Korporacja Ha!art Publishing House, which they coedit. They also published\u00a0Sonnet of Sonnets\u00a0(2012), devised together with students of the MA Programme in Creative Writing and Bookmaking in Mills College, Oakland, CA. In 2002 Bazarnik and Fajfer founded Liberature Reading Room (now located in Malopolski Garden of Arts of the Ma\u0142opolska Province Library in Krak\u00f3w). She published a monograph\u00a0Joyce and Liberature\u00a0(Litteraria Pragensia, 2011), and has edited or co-edited several volumes of essays, including\u00a0James Joyce and After. Writer and Time\u00a0(2010) and\u00a0Incarnations of Textual Materiality. From Modernism to Liberature\u00a0(2014) \u00a0and two monograph issues of a translation journal\u00a0Literatura na \u015awiecie\u00a0(Literatures of the World) devoted to James Joyce (2004) and B.S. Johnson (2008). Her translation of B.S Johnson\u2019s\u00a0The\u00a0Unfortunates\u00a0was awarded at the Wroc\u0142aw Good Books Fair in 2008. Her theoretical work on liberature as a new literary genre integrating the verbal content with the material shape of the book introduced the concept to the academic world in the UK, Ireland, France, Japan, Taiwan and the USA.Zenon FAJFER\u00a0(\u00b01970)a Polish poet, playwright, creator and theoretician of liberature, a new literary genre which embraces works that integrate the word with unconventional shapes of the book.

He also uses the new media, creating his own version of kinetic poems and hypertextual poetry. Co-author, with Katarzyna Bazarnik, of books initiating the phenomenon of liberature: a triptych\u00a0Oka-leczenie\u00a0(Mute-I-Late, 2000, 2009) and\u00a0(O)patrzenie\u00a0(Ga(u)ze, 2003) and a poetic happening\u00a0Liberty Poem\u00a0(New York, Chicago, Taipei, Tokyo, 2011); the author of the poem-in-a-bottle\u00a0Spogl\u0105daj\u0105c Przez Ozonow\u0105 Dziur\u0119\u00a0(Detect Ozone Whole Nearby, 2004), a bilingual multimedia poetry volume\u00a0dwadzie\u015bcia jeden liter\/ten letters\u00a0(2010),\u00a0Liberature or Total Literature.
