In distracted times like the present, Shakespeare too has been
driven to distraction. Shakespeare | Cut considers contemporary
practices of cutting up Shakespeare in stage productions, video
games, book sculptures, and YouTube 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.
