Literature's elsewheres : on the necessity of radical literary practices
Gilbert, Annette, 1975-2022
Book
"What is a literary work? In Literature's Elsewheres, Annette Gilbert tackles this question by deploying an extended concept of literature, examining a series of diverse, radical experimental works from the 1950s to the present that occupy the liminal zone between art and literature. These works--by American Artist, Allison Parrish, Natalie Czech, Stephanie Syjuco, Fiona Banner, Elfriede Jelinek, Dan Graham, Robert Barry, George Brecht, and others--represent a pluralized literary practice that imagines a different literature emerging from its elsewheres."--Page 4 of cover.
