Overwriting Literature and Other Acts of Cultural Terrorism in the Control Era examines American experimental writers and artists who compose in what Gilles Deleuze called the control era. This project locates the beginning of the control age to the 1975 Schizo-Culture conference at Columbia University. The conference introduced Deleuze and Félix Guattari to the American public, and it featured key artists in the American avant-garde: William S. Burroughs and John Cage. Deleuze explained that these weapons would "hijack" speech and create non-communication. Overwriting Literature reads their composition methods as potential weapons against the "control society." While this study examines experimental writing, it uses these writers to think of how one might apply these techniques to mass media / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester 2017. / April 12, 2017. / Deleuze and Guattari, John Cage, Kathy Acker, Media Studies, "Societies of Control", William S.
