ABSTRACT

Uncreativity and plagiarism have long been stinging words that can end careers, but are there ways to ethically use and not abuse the work of others? Destructive Writing is a writing strategy that acknowledges the friction and freedom of this practice, a practice that exalts in the fact that words have weight and attempts to shoulder this burden to new and unfamiliar heights. To the Destructive Writer, all stories and words are valuable and appreciated materials to be used again and again, often divorced of their original meaning to both bring attention to new concerns as well as dust-off texts that may have slipped into obscurity. At its heart, it is a mode and classification of writing that defies conventionality and the idea of a traditional author.

摘要

缺乏创造力和抄袭长期以来一直是可能结束职业生涯的刺耳词汇，但有没有办法以合乎道德的方式使用而不是滥用他人的作品呢？破坏性写作是一种承认这种实践的摩擦和自由的写作策略，这种实践宣扬文字有重量这一事实，并试图将这种负担推向新的、陌生的高度。对于破坏性作家来说，所有的故事和文字都是有价值的、值得反复使用的材料，它们往往脱离了它们的原始含义，既能引起人们对新问题的关注，又能掸掉可能已经陷入默默无闻的文本。从本质上讲，它是一种挑战传统和传统作家观念的写作模式和分类。
