Professor Hall's current research examines 1960s U.S. poetry and demonstrates that the turn toward specific new performance and publication strategies that characterized this period arose out of anxieties produced by threats that mass-mediated communications posed to poetic language, the mind, and the conditions of possibility for political dissent. Drawing on the work of Fredric Jameson, Herbert Marcuse, Antonio Gramsci, Raymond Williams, Judith Butler, and Guy Debord, among others, I argue for a new understanding of the cultural and political functions of poetry at this politically volatile moment of late capital.
