Conclusion: The Present and Future of Strategic Appropriation in the Arts --$tBibliography --$tIndex 330 $aThis monograph takes on the question of how literary plagiarism is defined, exposed, and sanctioned in Western culture and how appropriating language assigned to another author can be considered a radical subversive act in postmodern US-American literature. While various forms of art such as music, painting, or theater have come to institutionalize appropriation as a valid mode to ventilate what authorship, originality, and the anxiety of influence may mean, the literary sphere still has a hard time acknowledging the unmarked acquisition of words, ideas, and manuscripts. The author shows how postmodern plagiarism in particular serves as a literary strategy of appropriation at the interface between literary economics, law, and theoretical discourses of literature. She investigates the complex expectations surrounding the strong link between an individual author subject and its alienable text, a link that several postmodern writers powerfully question and violate. Identifying three distinct practices of postmodern plagiarism, the book examines their specific situatedness, precepts, and subversive potential as litmus tests for the literary market, and the ongoing dynamic notion of the concepts authorship, originality, and creativity. 410 0$aBuchreihe der Anglia / Anglia Book Series 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPlagiarism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPlagiarism$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aImitation in literature 610 $aAuthorship. 610 $aIntellectual Property. 610 $aLiterary Market. 610 $aPlagiarism. 610 $aPostmodern Literature. 610 $aSubversion. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPlagiarism$xHistory 615 0$aPlagiarism$xHistory 615 0$aImitation in literature. 676 $a810.9/0054 700 $aHorn$b Mirjam$01645291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807338703321 996 $aPostmodern plagiarisms$93991657 997 $aUNINA
