L'écriture sans écriture
Author: Kenneth Goldsmith
Publisher: JBE Books
A masterpiece by Kenneth Goldsmith, this essay has enabled the understanding of the mutations imposed on text by the digital age (under the title Uncreative Writing, Columbia University Press). Jean Boîte Éditions offers it here to French-speaking readers in an enlightened translation by François Bon, and in an edition augmented with an original chapter written by Kenneth Goldsmith.
In the second half of the 19th century, the appearance of photography disrupted the modes of representation of reality. Shaken in its practice, painting sought and found new territories of expression, thus renewing its language. For Kenneth Goldsmith, the same is true of text in the 21st century: the digital environment and contemporary practices of writing and reading have profoundly transformed our relationship with the written word.
The internet and the digital environment present authors and readers with new challenges and tools to rethink creativity, the authority of the author, and our relationship with language. As we are increasingly confronted with an unprecedented quantity of texts and languages – including text processing, emails, short messages, and social media practices – a whole new production considered not to be part of literature offers us the possibility to go beyond the creation of new texts and to manage, analyze, appropriate, and reconstruct those that already exist.
