Dan Thomas-Glass

Dan Thomas-Glass is a PhD candidate in English at UC Davis. His research focuses on experimental and avant-garde poetics since 1970, with particular attention to rap music, language poetry, and the relationship of cultural production to urbanism. His dissertation has recently been described as “an attempt to make a formal reading of the traces left by the seemingly-crushed desire for collectivity that rose out of urban politics and practice in the Sixties and Seventies.” He is especially interested in the city as media and mediation, and the ways that new technologies arise within and against its soundscape.

Distraction, attention deficit, or lack of concentration are common, in the visual field as well other fields of perception, as a defense against overstimulation; forces of habit or automatism are widely regarded as normal, as inference in the somatic field; and the peer group exerts an influence, creating a common libidinal bond which is a kind of suggestion ... From the vantage point of a dialectic of attention and distraction, any appeal against forgetting is an attempt to dictate what people should think.
