Cut-ups

Filed Under Notes | June 23, 2006

"Burroughs… developed the concept of 'cut-up' in using it to demonstrate the controlling quality intrinsic to 'the Word'; possession over human beings by language. The cut-up is a way of exposing word and image controls thereby freeing oneself from them, an alteration of consciousness that occurs in both the writer and the reader of the text." - Wiliam S. Burroughs - Cut-Up Technique
