In addition to contributing significantly to the growing field of
Burroughs scholarship, Burroughs Unbound also directly engages with
the growing fields of textual studies, archival research, and
genetic criticism, asking crucial questions thereby about the
nature of archives and their relationship to a writer's work. These
questions about the archive concern not only the literary medium.
In the 1960s and 1970s Burroughs collaborated with filmmakers,
sound technicians, and musicians, who helped re-contextualized his
writings in other media. Burroughs Unbound examines these
collaborations and explores how such multiple authorship
complicates the authority of the archive as a final or complete
repository of an author's work. It takes Burroughs seriously as a
radical theorist and practitioner who critiqued drug laws, sexual
practice, censorship, and what we today call a society of control.
More broadly, his work continues to challenge our common
assumptions about language, authorship, textual stability, and the
archive in its broadest definition.
