Cut-up

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cut-up (English for editing technique is a method that the) accident and the assembly through targeted or random remixing of texts in the literature to incorporate.

Development and Representative

Artists like Tristan Tzara and Hans Arp have already played with the targeted remixing of texts. Similar approaches had been developed by Max Frisch and James Joyce . In 1959 Brion Gysin rediscovered the cutting technique by chance and drew the attention of William S. Burroughs , who was to become the most important exponent of the cut-up. As a result, the cutting technique became popular among other authors of the Beat Generation .

In German-speaking countries, the writers Jürgen Ploog , Carl Weissner and Jörg Fauser , among others , followed the cut-up tradition. Ploog formulated the "cut spelling" as follows:

“ The simplest form is to cut any 2 pages of your own or someone else's text vertically & reassemble the 4 halves in the wrong order. One now begins to read beyond the semantic breaks. "
