Postmodern plagiarisms : cultural agenda and aesthetic strategies of appropriation in US-American literature (1970-2010)

4.9/5 (9817 ratings)

Description:Aims and ScopeThis monograph takes on the question of how literary plagiarism is defined, exposed, and sanctioned in Western culture and how appropriating language assigned to another author can be considered a radical subversive act in postmodern US-American literature. While various forms of art such as music, painting, or theater have come to institutionalize appropriation as a valid mode to ventilate what authorship, originality, and the anxiety of influence may mean, the literary sphere still has a hard time acknowledging the unmarked acquisition of words, ideas, and manuscripts. The author shows how postmodern plagiarism in particular serves as a literary strategy of appropriation at the interface between literary economics, law, and theoretical discourses of literature. She investigates the complex expectations surrounding the strong link between an individual author subject and its alienable text, a link that several postmodern writers powerfully question and violate. Identifying three distinct practices of postmodern plagiarism, the book examines their specific situatedness, precepts, and subversive potential as litmus tests for the literary market, and the ongoing dynamic notion of the concepts authorship, originality, and creativity.Contents:Introducing plagiarism beyond illegitimate plunder --Framing plagiarism as a postmodern negotiation of authorship and text sovereignty --Authorship and its nemeses: plagiarism as unoriginal practice --The commodification of literature and the economic value of authorial attribution --The extra-aesthetic notion of plagiarism: the case of literary theft --Under siege: challenging textual integrity and individual authorship --Writing beyond petty theft: critifiction, context, and neo-conceptual writing --Everything can be said and must be said in any possible way: stealing away with critifiction and playgiarism --Disowning meaning and male authority: feminist plagiarist context --Neo-conceptual uncreative writing of the twenty-first century --Plagiarism as writing practice in US postmodern literature --Practicing theory with critifiction: Raymond Federman's Double or nothing (1971/1991) --Context as dissident feminist writing: Kathy Acker's Empire of the senseless (1988) --Neo-conceptual appropriative writing --Uncreative writing as constrained transcription: Kenneth Goldsmith's Day (2003) --Appropriating legal texts: Vanessa Place's Tragodía i: statement of facts (2010) --Appropriate and erase: Yedda Morrison's Darkness (chapter 1) --Conclusion: the present and future of strategic appropriation in the arts.Also available as ebook [pdf].We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
