Abstract
POSTMODERNISM: CRITICAL ANALYSES OF OVIDIU BOCSA’S
POEM “GRASS OF HOPE”
By:
Juan dela Cruz, Jose dela Paz
This chapter presents the summary of findings, the conclusions, and the
recommendations which are extended to further recommendations for future
research. The following are the findings of this literary research: Ovidiu
Bocsa’s poem “Grass of Hope” manifests the postmodern characteristics of
irony, pastiche, and intertextuality; effectuates in the reader the reality of
human being’s life; and defies the poetic conventions of a meter. Based on
the findings, this generalization is hereby arrived at: “Grass of Hope” by
Ovidiu Bocsa reveals a postmodernist characteristic, reader affect, and
defiance to poetic conventions. Based on the findings and conclusion, the
following recommendations are hereby offered to the literature teachers to
perceive new concepts about the postmodernism and its deep understanding
in the field of literature. They would further enhance the teaching – learning
process of literature to the students and may attempt to study further
postmodernism; to the literature major students to see the significance of
considering different perspectives of different literary genres. This will
allow them to discover beyond the written text and emphasized meaning of
specific literary work especially the postmodern literature; and to the future
postmodern poets/writers whose aim is to create literary piece dealing on
postmodernism. This will help them further understand the postmodern ways
of writing and come up with their own piece. The following research topics
are hereby recommended for future researchers to undertake: Dark
Reflections: Fantasy and Duality in the Work of David Lynch; Visual
Activism and the Twenty-First Century Prosthetic Limb; Deciphering the
Real through Artifice: A Study of the Gaze in Victorian Art; Mourning
Gendered Discipline: Virginia Woolf and the Modern Elegy; and
Limitations and Longing: Sacrifice in Global Anglophone Literature.
KEYWORDS: Postmodernism, poetic conventions, genres
