DCLP

This book-length project was written alongside Mooney’s doctoral dissertation ‘Background Temporality in Contemporary Anglo-American Poetics’, which posits a background temporality that informs and engenders disruption, complexity and unfixity in temporal relationships and structures manifested in contemporary poetry and in its visual, aural, and performative, as well as textual, reception. It also connects this thinking to practices in contemporary experimental cinematic and musical form. The sections of the related poetry work act as a form of resistant psychogeographical mapping of experiential time in relation to action and to sexualised philosophical stances of resistance to political and social control mechanisms that seeks to subjugate it. The work embodies in language the complex framing, disruption and unfixity that the background temporality underlying practices of reading identity, community and the sexualised city and psychological sexual violence manifested in internalised systems of surveillance and control engenders, and with the temporal intersections between innovative poetic form and found or conceptual materials, dynamic visuality and gaming structures and procedures. DCLP explores and examines the temporal kinetics linked to ongoing research into temporal interfaces between electronic dance music, movement and journey, as well contemporary innovative poetry.
