In 2011, the poet, artist and University of Pennsylvania teacher Kenneth Goldmisth launched the book Uncreative Writing, in which he designates the processes that leads to literary works where the text is not originally written by the author, but rewritten or transcript from pre-existant fonts – with no change in the original text – or edited and rearranged by descontextualization and recontextualization of these found texts. The dissertation makes use of this concept, as well as of unoriginal genius , by Marjorie Perloff, and post- -production , by Nicolas Bourriaud, to analyze the figure of the writerappropriator and the consequences, today, of the procedures of selection and displacement in relation to the ideia of authorship. The work verifies how those practices operate a fracture in the borders between the reader and the author positions. Also, the dissertation intends to investigate how the literary works on the selected corpus propose non-traditional ways of reading and writing, and how they relate to the plastic arts and the new technological tools.
