What is the cut-up method?
The cut-up method involves taking existing texts, cutting them into pieces, and rearranging them to create new meanings. It's a way to break free from the limitations of linear thought and narrative control. By juxtaposing unrelated words and phrases, new connections emerge, exposing latent truths and challenging the reader's perception of reality. It's a tool for deconstructing pre-existing orders and revealing the inherent chaos and potential for change within them.
