ABSTRACT

This paper emerges from a seven-year, ongoing relational poetics between two poets and their former secondary English teacher. Organized by the world’s urgencies, the three authors have studied the force of poetry throughout incidences of violence against Black lives close to home and across the United States. This practice began in the classroom and continues beyond graduation through remote correspondence across three cities. Through it we develop the concept of study as love, engaging with Moten & Harney’s concept of study as irreducibly social and in excess of institutional parameters. We also develop the concept of poetics as more than methodology, engaging with Glissant’s poetics of relation. Through love and poetics, we call for literacy studies engaged with the ontogenesis of Black life, moving beyond institutionally white disciplinary methods and standard research outputs. We ask how the poetics of relation and the love of study produce new worlds.

摘要

这篇论文来自两位诗人和他们以前的中学英语老师之间长达七年的关系诗学。由世界的紧迫性组织，三位作者研究了诗歌的力量，研究了家附近和美国各地针对黑人生活的暴力事件的整个过程。这种做法始于课堂，并通过跨越三个城市的远程通信持续到毕业后。通过它，我们将学习的概念发展为爱，将 Moten & Harney 的学习概念视为不可简化的社会性和超越制度参数的概念。我们还发展诗学的概念不仅仅是方法论，而是与 Glissant 的关系诗学相结合。通过爱和诗学，我们呼吁开展与黑人生活的个体发生相关的扫盲研究，超越制度上的白人学科方法和标准研究成果。我们询问关系的诗学和对学习的热爱如何产生新的世界。
