Abstract
The aim of this paper has been to show how temporal strategies and logics of historicization are substituted through the spatial policies of territorialization and de-territorialization in poetry and visual arts. Our focus has been on the spatial policies of a specific site of ethnological contextualization, geographic differences, and similarities between the verbal medium of poetry and the post-media of visual arts. We have shown that, in American experimental poetry and visual arts after World War II, poets and artists began to operate in certain sites as ethnographers, geographers, and historians. The theoretical hypothesis of this text is that the spatial turn and thus the phenomenology of space have acquired the status and the functions of media and post-media, both in contemporary poetry and in the contemporary visual arts.
