5 cut-ups and media-world methods

• 1. Praxis-based• 2. Place-based• 3. Vernacular-expressed• 4. Collaborative• 5. Self-reflexive and affect-rich

1. Praxis-based

Cut ups are for everyone. Anybody can make cut ups. It is experimental in the sense of being something to do. … The use of scissors renders the process explicit and subject to extension and variation. (William Burroughs)

2. Place-based

I use the concept of “Egyptian feeling” as a named, circulated and sticky emotion, where the cultural, political and biological aspects of emotions merge together. Anu

2010).

3. Vernacular-Expressed

What is the glue that inspires or captivates an audience to assemble linger, and act?

4. Collaborative

Feminist collectivity as the shadow archive of contemporary academic culture. Tweeted by @Aging SuperModel

So we wait for our bodies to appear, we wait in the gaps, or cuts, or silhouettes of time; we wait, we exist, and create. (Tweeted by @Komiksgrrrl)

5. Self-reflexive and affect-rich

I feel annoyed to be watching the clock to get my kid from daycare. I was so happy when you said you loved “The Argonauts,” and then squirmily delighted when you said smart generous things to me after I presented. Very sweaty most of today. I’m curious about everyone’s love lives, as always. (tweeted by Jenny Burman)
