Une anthologie transdisciplinaire interrogeant le cut-up en
tant que méthode créative contemporaine et production culturelle
globalisée.
This volume investigates the cut-up as a contemporary mode of creativity
and important global model of cultural production. The term cut-up serves
as an open container for a long list of terms and actions that describe
the combination and reassembly of existing motifs, fragments, images, and
ideas from diverse and disconnected origins into newly synthesized
entities. Refusing any disciplinary coherence, this book assembles texts
from multifarious eras and origins. At the same time, the contributors
share an urgency to question the dichotomy of original creation and
derivative appropriation. In this way the book itself is a cut-up of
previously published essays and articles that in their proximity allow for
multiple readings to arise. It aims to translate the topic into a wider
societal discourse to serve as both a source of inspiration and a platform
for critical reflection.
