Quotation, Experimental writing, John CageAbstract
This article investigates the use of quotation procedures in the written work of the American composer John Cage, in dialogue with the theoretical formulations of Antoine Compagnon. Often characterized as a “writing through”, Cagean textual production will be investigated through the notion of prepared text, derived from the idea of prepared rhetorics developed by David Patterson in analogy with the preparations that the composer made for the execution of his works for piano. Key words: Quotation. Experimental writing. John Cage.
