Conclusion: The Present and Future of Strategic Appropriation in the Arts --Bibliography --IndexThis monograph takes on the question of how literary plagiarism is defined, exposed, and sanctioned in Western culture and how appropriating language assigned to another author can be considered a radical subversive act in postmodern US-American literature. While various forms of art such as music, painting, or theater have come to institutionalize appropriation as a valid mode to ventilate what authorship, originality, and the anxiety of influence may mean, the literary sphere still has a hard time acknowledging the unmarked acquisition of words, ideas, and manuscripts. The author shows how postmodern plagiarism in particular serves as a literary strategy of appropriation at the interface between literary economics, law, and theoretical discourses of literature. She investigates the complex expectations surrounding the strong link between an individual author subject and its alienable text, a link that several postmodern writers powerfully question and violate. Identifying three distinct practices of postmodern plagiarism, the book examines their specific situatedness, precepts, and subversive potential as litmus tests for the literary market, and the ongoing dynamic notion of the concepts authorship, originality, and creativity.Buchreihe der Anglia / Anglia Book SeriesAmerican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismAmerican literature21st centuryHistory and criticismPlagiarismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPlagiarismUnited StatesHistory21st centuryImitation in literatureAuthorship.Intellectual Property.Literary Market.Plagiarism.Postmodern Literature.Subversion.American literatureHistory and criticism.American literatureHistory and criticism.PlagiarismHistoryPlagiarismHistoryImitation in literature.810.9/0054Horn Mirjam1645291MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807338703321Postmodern plagiarisms3991657UNINA
