INTRODUCTION THIS is a pamphlet intended to accompany the debate that surrounds "The Festival Of Plagiarism", but it may also be read and used separately from any specific event. It should not be viewed as a cat­ alogue for the festival, as it contains opinions that bear no relation to those of a number of people participating in the event. Presented here are a number of divergent views on the subjects of plagiarism, art and culture. One of the problems inherent in left opposition to dominant culture is that there is no agreement on the use of specific terms. Thus while some of the 'essays' contained here are antagonistic towards the concept of art — defined in terms of the culture of the ruling elite — others use the term in a less specific sense and are consequently less critical of it. Since the term 'art' is popularly associated with cults of 'genius' it would seem expedient to stick to the term 'culture' — in a non-elitist sense — when describing our own endeavours. Although culture as a category appears to be a 'universal' experience, none of its individual expressions meet such a criteria. This is the basis of our principle objection to art — it claims to be 'universal' when it is very clearly class based.

Of the aspects of the speech that were damaging to Mao, the most troubling was no doubt Khrushchev’s attack on the “cult of personality” (7), not only in Stalin’s example, but in principle, as a “perversion” of Marxism. As Alain Badiou has remarked, the cult of personality was something of an “invariant feature of communist states and parties,” one that was brought to a point of “paroxysm” in China’s Cultural Revolution (505). It should hence not surprise us that Mao responded in 1958 with a defense of the axiom as properly communist. In delineating “correct” and “incorrect” kinds of personality cult, Mao insisted: “The ques- tion at issue is not whether or not there should be a cult of the indi- vidual, but rather whether or not the individual concerned represents the truth. If he does, then he should be revered” (99–100). Not unex- pectedly, Marx, Engels, Lenin, and “the correct side of Stalin” are Mao’s given examples of leaders that should be “revere[d] for ever” (38). Marx himself, however, was somewhat hostile to such practice, a point Khrushchev sought to stress in quoting from Marx’s November 1877 letter to Wilhelm Blos: “From my antipathy to any cult of the individ - ual, I never made public during the existence of the International the numerous addresses from various countries which recognized my merits and which annoyed me.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract Iain Sinclair’s London is a labyrinthine city split by multiple forces deliriously replicated in the complexity and contradiction of his own hybrid texts. Sinclair played an integral role in the ‘psychogeographical turn’ of the 1990s, imaginatively mapping the secret histories and occulted alignments of urban space in a series of works that drift between the subject of topography and the topic of subjectivity. In the wake of Sinclair’s continued association with the spatial and textual practices from which such speculative theses derive, the trajectory of this variant psychogeography appears to swerve away from the revolutionary impulses of its initial formation within the radical milieu of the Lettrist International and Situationist International in 1950s Paris towards a more literary phenomenon. From this perspective, the return of psychogeography has been equated with a loss of political ambition within fin de millennium literature.

  • Neoist Interruptus and the Collapse of Originality
    Neoist Interruptus and the Collapse of Originality Stephen Perkins 2005 Presented at the Collage As Cultural Practice Conference, University of Iowa, March 26th, Iowa City Tracing the etymology of the word collage and its compound colle becomes a fascinating journey that branches out into a number of different directions all emanating from the act of gluing things together. After reading a number of definitions that detail such activities as sticking, gluing, pasting, adhering, and the utilization of substances such as gum (British), rubber cement (US) and fish glue, one comes upon another meaning of a rather different order. In France collage has a colloquial usage to describe having an affair, and colle more specifically means to live together or to shack up together.1 While I lay no great claims to any expertise in the area of linguistic history, I would suggest that this vernacular meaning of colle arises when living together would have generated far more excitement than the term, and the activity, generates today. And, while the dictionary definition of the word does not support the interpretation that I am going to suggest here, I would argue that its usage in its original context would have generated a very particular kind of frisson that would have been implicitly associated with the act of two people being collaged or glued together, in other words fucking, or to fuck, or simply fuck. What has this to do with a paper on collage as cultural intervention, you might ask? It’s simple really, well relatively. My subject is a late 20th century international avant-garde movement known as the Neoist Cultural Conspiracy (Neoism for short), which I would argue is the last of the historic avant-gardes of the 20th century.

  • Psychogeography: Framing Urban Experience
    Psychogeography: Framing Urban Experience The cross-disciplinary thought given to the city, particularly over the past forty years, has led to its reconceptualisation in terms of urban -economic, sociopolitical, and more recently cultural- relations. This has provided the context for often generalised observations of subjective urban experience, recalling Simmel’s investigations of industrial metropolitan individuality, and a recycling of artistic practices like psychogeography that engaged with the urban imaginary and everyday life. Initially, “the word psychogeography,” so Guy Debord’s story goes, was a neologism, “suggested by an illiterate Kabyle as a general term for a phenomena a few of us were investigating around the summer of 1953”. The directeur of the Lettrist International (LI), and from 1957-72, also Situationist International (SI), goes on to explain this phenomena as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organised or not, on the emotions and behaviour of individuals.”1 In practice, this was approached with emphatically un-academic methods, the most established being the dérive. With a backward glance at surrealist automatism, this recreational tactic properly entailed several psychogeographers together negotiating “urban ambiences” -frequently in Paris, but also in Amsterdam, London, Venice- talking and taking advantage of any bars en route. Such diversions were documented in written accounts and psychogeographical maps, and thus described in the LI’s journal Potlatch and the SI’s Internationale Situationniste. Moreover, the resulting conclusions were applied in proposals for a unitary urbanism that reimagined the city as a site of play, creating disorientating ‘situations’ for the ludic education of its inhabitants.

  • To Realize Art: Notes for a History of the Situationist International
    156 83RD ACSA ANNUAL MEETING HlSTORYiTHEORYlCRlTlClSM 1995 To Realize Art: Notes for a History of the Situationist International LIBERO ANDREOTTI Georgia Institute of Technology Philosophy must never forget that it has always spoken Pavillon des Temps Nouveaux (1937).2In 1953 he founded its part in the most burlesque and melodramatic setting the IMIB as an alternative to Max Bill's more technical school - Attila Kotani at Ulm, guilty in his view of having sold-out the Bauhaus idea to industrial capitalism. In its short life-span of only three In Theoy of the Avant-garde, Peter Burger argues that years, this "center for free and experimentalresearch " had been Futurism, Dada, and Surrealism aimed at "the sublation of art able to attract several leading European artists, including into life." A similar consideration might well be made about Matta and Enrico Baj, and had already exhibited some of its the Situationist International (SI), a movement of great ambition and influence whose reflections on art, the city, spontaneity, and the spectacle, have insured it a vital but largely hidden role in 20th century art and politics. ' In what follows I propose to sketch briefly the history of this group from its beginnings in 1957 to its participation (some would say its leading role) in the May '68 events in France, which marked the zenith of SI activity and also the beginning of the group's decline (it was formally dissolved in 1972 by its only two remaining members, Guy Debord and Gianfranco Sanguinetti). More specifically, I would like to emphasize 1) the urban dimension of many SI practices, as seen in the notions of "derive," "psychogeography," and "unitary ur- banism," 2) the importance of play as a technique of diversion and re-appropriation, evident especially in the notion of "detoumement," and 3) the global scope of SI activities, which ranged from poetry to architecture, fiom cinema to urbanism, and which developed as part of the group's totalizing (in Lukacs' sense) critique of capitalist consumer culture.

  • Why Are Author Names So Unconventional? an Overview
    Why are author names so unconventional? An overview Giacomo Giuntoli University of Pisa, Italy Abstract: An author is broadly defined as the person who originated or gave existence to something and whose authorship determines responsibility for what was created. Some might say that author names have no impact on linguistics. This point of view is not completely true when we work on literary onomastics, especially on contemporary fiction books. An author’s name is the bridge between readers and the words they read. When it falls down the only way to know what is across the bridge is to guess. This paper aims to describe a phenomenology of author names and demonstrate its importance in onomastics. Keywords: author names, death of the author, multiple names, band names, Luther Blissett. We all know that the first proper name that appears on a book is undoubtedly that of the author. The name of the author is generally placed near the book’s title, on the front cover. A proper name, in our specific case, is that of an author, and it immediately reminds us that the author is a person in flesh and bones and therefore an individual. That individual may also use a pseudonym, therefore not only differentiating the man from the author, but in some cases also for the sake of anonymity. An author is broadly defined as the person who originated or gave existence to anything and whose author- ship determines responsibility for what was created. Narrowly defined, an author is the originator of any written work. We must not forget that this agent noun derives from the Latin verb augere, which means ‘to enlarge’.

    Heddon, D., and Turner, C. (2012) Walking women: shifting the tales and scales of mobility. Contemporary Theatre Review, 22(2), pp. 224-236. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/29877/ Deposited on: 16 June 2016 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Walking Women: Shifting the Tales and Scales of Mobility Deirdre Heddon and Cathy Turner The art of walking has become a significant mode of practice and subject of critique in recent years. Festivals, events, networks and publications attest to the popularity of walking as art, including Will Self’s Psychogeography and Psycho Too, Merlin Coverley’s Psychogeography, Roberta Mock’s edited anthology, Walking, Writing and Performance, Phil Smith’s Mythogeography: A Guide to Walking Sideways, Geoff Nicholson’s populist The Lost Art of Walking, AntiFestival’s Walking festival, Deveron Art’s Walking Festival, Plymouth’s Perambulations and the Walking Artists Network.1 Reviewing contemporary writings about and reflections on current walking practices, we have found that this practical and critical interest in walking is cast in a much longer history. In this essay we first of all suggest that earlier theories and interpretations of walking continue to exert influence on cultural understandings of aestheticized walking, informing and shaping current knowledge. We argue that the reiteration of a particular genealogy – or fraternity – which includes Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Henry David Thoreau, Andre´ Breton and Guy Debord generates an orthodoxy of walking, tending towards an implicitly masculinist ideology.
