American Paraliterature and Other Theories to Hijack Communication Hardback
by Blake Stricklin
Part of the Anthem symploke Studies in Theory series
Hardback
Description
American Paraliterature examines the generative encounters of post-1968 French theory with the postwar American avant-garde.
The book begins with an account of the 1975 Schizo-Culture conference that was organized by Semiotext(e) editor Sylvère Lotringer at Columbia University.
The conference was an attempt to directly connect the American avant-garde with French theory.
At the event, John Cage shared the stage with Deleuze and Foucault introduced William S.
Burroughs. This schizo-connection presents a way to read the experimental methods of the American avant-garde (Burroughs, Cage, and Kathy Acker), and how their writing creates a counterprogram to the power that Foucault and Deleuze started to articulate in the 1970s.
