£3, Department, Feb 2011
The poetry of Department is poetry that is not content to inhabit “the poetic” (aesthetically elevated spiritualised leisure activity): that with the force of its own intensities & in-densities moves ‘out’ on to the street, moves among political spaces (complicating – & analysing complicities – all distinctions between public & private worlds), & lives in the overlap between sound & discourse, music & information. Department poetry is non-departmental poetry. It does not refuse formal exactness (though it troubles a certain ideology of forms as Universals), but it does refuse constraint; it troubles order to deny all attempts at a control order for poetry (know your place). These principles underlie the practice of Department issue #3. & will underlie the practice of future issues.

Founded in 1933 in Black Mountain, North Carolina, Black Mountain College was not your garden variety college compared to other institutions of higher learning in the United States at the time. Indeed, Black Mountain was as much a vortex of avant-garde art performances, experimental lifestyles, political radicalism, macho theatrics, utopian architectural dreaming, and collective manual labor as it was a college of liberal arts. Black Mountain College was where people gathered “to open eyes” as Josef Albers, teacher at BMC, put it.
Following up the 75th anniversary of the founding of BMC, we seek to gather a small group of scholars, artists, philosophers, musicians, architects and others interested in Black Mountain College to explore the ways the legacy of Black Mountain College continues to resonate across contemporary postmodern culture. Papers are to cover a wide range of subjects, including Black Mountain's relationship to:
Abstracts of no more than 500 words should be submitted to Daniel Kane and Paul Betts, by Friday 15th April.
