“‘I DON’T SEE YOU BECAUSE I THINK YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TRANSPARENT’: GLITCH AS CRITICISM”, BY DAN THORPE

[helvetica 12] As artists, we often feel that what we are allowed to say is limited by our political, economic, and social situation: whether the scene will like it, whether the government will allow it, or what our mum would say. However, in [e backspace cmd+i] Excitable Speech [cmd+i], Judith Butler frames [censorship backspace] limitation as a means of production; a field of circumscribed possibilities preceding cultural expression. The framework in which the creative process takes place is designed to produce art according to explicit[y backspace] and implicit norms: “[cmd+i]The question is not what it is I will be able to say, but what will constitute[d backspace] the domain of the sayable within which I will be[hin backspace]gin to speak at all”.[i] [cmd+i cmd+s filename: ~/Documents/liftedbrowcommish.docx]
