liquid blackness
“liquid blackness” is a term that describes several things at once:
-
-
- it is the name of a research group founded by Alessandra Raengo, at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA, comprising graduate students and alumni of the doctoral program in Moving Image Studies collaboratively studying blackness and aesthetics;
- it is the name of an online scholarly journal that offers a forum for the exploration of experimental methodologies for the formal analysis of blackness in contemporary visual and sonic arts and popular culture at the intersection between the politics and ethics of aesthetics;
- and it is a theoretical concept that focuses on blackness as an aesthetic mode, one that emphasizes multiplicity and experimentation.
-
We deliberately deploy the same term in all of these cases because for us “liquidity” also describes a way of doing things and specifically the strategic way in which the research group blurs the line between scholarship and practice by producing work that faces different communities within academia and beyond. In fact, as part of its research projects, the group organizes critical encounters around art addressed simultaneously to scholars, artists, curators and local communities, which are then developed into publications, where the same research questions are opened up to contributions from the larger academic community.
New South
New South is produced entirely by graduate students in the New South Writing Workshop at Georgia State University. Previously known as The GSU Review, we’ve been publishing new fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and art since 1975.
