*/this is based on the premise that if one translates
from language A to B, one tries to find the most
appropriate word in B to match A. so, for an english-
to-english dictionary, the most appropriate word is
the word itself. this functions both as tautology and
reaffirmation./*

[NetBehaviour] Move a text, break up the house

2016-10-18 Thread Maria Farràs
Dear all, 

Today i write you to send you a text on Kenneth Goldsmith, related to his 
presence at The influencers Festival: Move a text, break up the House

Does it still make sense to invoke literary originality in the internet era? 
Kenneth Goldsmith spoke about this at the Festival Internacional du Livre de 
Arte et du Film de Perpignan (FILAF) this summer. Alicia Kopf tells us about it 
in his article on appropriationism, intertextual dialogue and literary practice 
from a curatorial point of view in which there is room for textual emancipation 
and shared inspiration. Her account ends with an excerpt from an unpublished 
poem by Goldsmith. This week, Kenneth Goldsmith will be at the CCCB as a guest 
of The Influencers festival.
