Description
Summary: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.
