Call for Papers
Nomadic Piracy: The Anti-Aesthetics of Appropriation
PAMLA Annual Convention, November 7-9, 2003
Scripts College, Claremont CA

This panel challenges the postmodern notions of appropriation, =
plagirism, piracy, and/or copyright. We will be investigating texts that =
break boundaries of appropriate behavior in language and borrowing and =
scracthing away at the "owned" discourses. How do artists pasticha nd =
collage together fragments of texts and image in order to re-produce new =
texts that critique the cult of originality. We are particularly =
interested in papers that explore the writing of Kathy Acker, WIlliam S. =
Burroughs, Raymond Federman, Negativland, Jean-Luc Godard, and so on. =
Theoretical approaches informed by Deleuze, Kristeva, Irigaray, Derrida =
and so on.
