اوليپو: نوآوري در ادبيات فرانسه

Oulipo: Innovation in French Literature

In 1960, a number of French writers including Raymond Queneau, Franscois Le Lionnais, Georges Perec organized a literary movement called oulipo. Rejecting the conventions and traditions dominating literature, they concentrated on the text itself and made constructive innovations and created play and obligation, thus injecting a fresh life into the sickening literature. They were interested both in poetry and prose, mostly novels. Creating new methods of writing poetry such as isogramme, anagramme, acrostiche, etc., which stimulated the curiosity of the reader, they opened up new vistas for writing poetry. In the field of the novel too, Georges Perec and Raymond Queneau made the most innovative contributions. Opting for lipogrammic and monovocalic methods, they made a great upheaval in the field of literature.
