Textual Intervention - Critical and Creative Strategies for Literary Studies (Hardcover)

This work sets out to challenge students with an interactive strategy for successful textual intervention. The subjects considered are: "re-centring" and "re-genreing"; the generation of parallel; alternative and counter-texts; exercises in imitation; and parody and adaption. Pope uses analyses of advertising, news reporting and poetry to introduce the principles of choice and combination, creativity and constraint, difference and preference. The main body of the text considers topics such as: drama and dialogue; narrative and narration; auto/biography, hi/story and "faction"; "selves" and "others". "Textual Intervention" draws on a combination of discourse analysis, performance techniques, critical theory and creative writing. It engages with cultural debates about production and reproduction, but encourages students to go beyond them and recognize themselves as analysts and critics in their own right. This is a book about re-construction as well as deconstruction. It uses graded activities and copious cross-references, and is designed for a wide range of literary and cultural studies courses.
