Summary/Abstract: Towards the mid twentieth century, concrete poetry reconsiders the content-form relationship by experimenting with various physical instantiations of lyricism: visual, sonorous, kinetic, or functional in a way that recalls the “thingly” character of the work of art, the premise of Martin Heidegger’s aesthetic conception in The Origin of the Work of Art (1937).
