Shakespeare | Cut considers contemporary practices of cutting up Shakespeare in stage productions video games book sculptures and You Tube postings but it also takes the long view of how Shakespeare's texts have been cut apart in creative ways beginning in Shakespeare's own time. The book's five chapters consider cuts cutting and cutwork from a variety of angles: (1) as bodily experiences (2) as essential parts of the process whereby Shakespeare and his contemporaries crafted scripts (3) as units in perception (4) as technologies situated at the interface between 'figure and 'life and (5) as a fetish in western culture since 1900. Printed here for the first time are examples of the cut - ups that William S. Burroughs and Brion Guysin carried out with Shakespeare texts in the 1950s. Bruce R. Smith's original analysis is accompanied by twenty - four illustrations which suggest the multiple media in which cutwork with Shakespeare has been carried out.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Shakespeare | Cut Rethinking Cutwork In An Age Of Distraction\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Smith Bruce R.
