Unknown Author

4.9/5 (20357 ratings)

Description:More than a hundred years after his birth, William S. Burroughs work and artistic methods continue to be relevant to the political and social problems of today. As early as the 1950s, Burroughs and collaborator Brion Gysin began experimenting with the cut-up, a collage technique that dates from Burroughs' fragmentary work in Naked Lunch. Although Burroughs and Gysin did not invent the cut-up technique, they honed it, refined it, and extended it outside the parameters of art to embrace all manner of popular culture and cultural detritus. William S. Burroughs Cutting Up the Century features essays, interviews, and panel discussions considering the cut-up method, the development of some of Burroughs key texts, Burroughs life in St. Louis, and gender and sexuality, among other subjects. The book also features original, previously unpublished material, including artwork by Burroughs, cut-ups of work written by and about his son, cut-ups of critical responses to his own work, collages on the Vietnam War, essays on Red China, excerpts from his dream journals, and some of the few diary entries that Burroughs wrote about his wife, Joan. The volume views Burroughs through a range of lensesliterary studies, media studies, popular culture, gender studies, post-colonialism, history, and geography. Ultimately, the collection situates Burroughs as a central artist and thinker of the twentieth century, whose work continues to speak to present political and ecological crises a century laterWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
