Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In This Is Not a Copy, Kaja Marczewska identifies a characteristic 'copy-paste' tendency in contemporary culture-a shift in attitude that allows reproduction and plagiarizing to become a norm in cultural production. This inclination can be observed in literature and non-literary forms of writing at an unprecedented level, as experiments with text redefine the nature of creativity. Responding to these transformations, Marczewska argues that we must radically rethink our conceptions of artistic practice and proposes a move away from the familiar categories of copying and originality, creativity and plagiarism in favour of the notion of iteration. Developing the new concept of the Iterative Turn, This Is Not a Copy identifies and theorizes the turn toward ubiquitous iteration as a condition of text-based creative practices as they emerge in response to contemporary technologies. Conceiving of writing as iterative invites us to address a set of new, critical questions about contemporary culture. Combining discussion of literature, experimental and electronic writing, mainstream and independent publishing with debates in 20th- and 21st-century art, contemporary media culture, transforming technologies and copyright laws, This Is Not a Copy offers a timely and urgently needed argument, introducing a unique new perspective on practices that permeate our contemporary culture.
Download or read book The Culture of the Copy written by Hillel Schwartz and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-11-02 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel attempt to make sense of our preoccupation with copies of all kinds—from counterfeits to instant replay, from parrots to photocopies. The Culture of the Copy is a novel attempt to make sense of the Western fascination with replicas, duplicates, and twins. In a work that is breathtaking in its synthetic and critical achievements, Hillel Schwartz charts the repercussions of our entanglement with copies of all kinds, whose presence alternately sustains and overwhelms us. This updated edition takes notice of recent shifts in thought with regard to such issues as biological cloning, conjoined twins, copyright, digital reproduction, and multiple personality disorder. At once abbreviated and refined, it will be of interest to anyone concerned with problems of authenticity, identity, and originality. Through intriguing, and at times humorous, historical analysis and case studies in contemporary culture, Schwartz investigates a stunning array of simulacra: counterfeits, decoys, mannequins, and portraits; ditto marks, genetic cloning, war games, and camouflage; instant replays, digital imaging, parrots, and photocopies; wax museums, apes, and art forgeries—not to mention the very notion of the Real McCoy. Working through a range of theories on biological, mechanical, and electronic reproduction, Schwartz questions the modern esteem for authenticity and uniqueness. The Culture of the Copy shows how the ethical dilemmas central to so many fields of endeavor have become inseparable from our pursuit of copies—of the natural world, of our own creations, indeed of our very selves. The book is an innovative blend of microsociology, cultural history, and philosophical reflection, of interest to anyone concerned with problems of authenticity, identity, and originality. Praise for the first edition “[T]he author... brings his considerable synthetic powers to bear on our uneasy preoccupation with doubles, likenesses, facsimiles, replicas and re-enactments. I doubt that these cultural phenomena have ever been more comprehensively or more creatively chronicled.... [A] book that gets you to see the world anew, again.” —The New York Times “A sprightly and disconcerting piece of cultural history” —Terence Hawkes, London Review of Books “In The Culture of the Copy, [Schwartz] has written the perfect book: original and repetitive at once.” —Todd Gitlin, Los Angeles Times Book Review
Download or read book Be Original Not a Copy written by Bernard Benson Sarfo and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be faithful and mind your word. Be original not a copy; let your word proof your personality and make difference by your truth. Many people have lost their dignity and their glory through their words. Others have disgraced themselves by their lies. The world is going into destruction through lies of those who dwell on it, and the truth has to tremble on the ground. Do not force your words to be factual whiles know you are deceiving. Be faithful but not a liar; be gentle but not a pretender, be smart but not as a thief. Maintain your faithfulness and do not lie for a favour but approve yourself for good use. Never put yourself into trouble through lies but consider your speech and make your words fruitful. Let your words be simple and meaningful to your audience. Do not rush in your speech but be careful when delivering a message. It is not good to shout but it is good to blend in some time. But in all, do not lie when giving out your message. It is better to make simple messages than to prolong your message. Why because it is possible to make a mistake and lie at the same time. Be aware and make things decent but do not disgrace yourself in the area you have not been there before. Means do not discuss the lessons you do not understand. Else, you will lie and disgrace yourself through inconsistent speech. But always watch out and control yourself in position without wrong comments later on. Faithfulness controls peace and makes things better and encouraging. Do not make news where there are no happenings. Do not pollute the air by your false message but make the air blow at ease. Be faithful when you buy; be faithful when you exchange, be faithful when you walk and talk. You can build a city by faithfulness and you can destroy the city through unfaithfulness.
