| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The fruit of this research underscores that the American poet Michael Palmer's major poems can be best understood in the light of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben's theory of language. Agamben's contention is that the essential body of language arises only as "Potentiality," which accelerates our potential ability to generate any speech as long as we are yet to acquire such speech. After demonstrating that the above paradoxical notion plays a crucial role in Palmer's dominant works, I conclude that both Palmer and Agamben have tried to vitalize our sense of this primal language, a language indispensable to our being.
