American Paraliterature delves into the intricate interplay between post-1968 French theory and the postwar American avant-garde. The book commences with an account of the 1975 Schizo-Culture conference, meticulously orchestrated by Semiotext(e) editor Sylvère Lotringer at Columbia University. This conference served as a groundbreaking endeavor to establish a direct bridge between the American avant-garde and French theory. The event witnessed a remarkable collaboration between John Cage and Deleuze, while Foucault introduced the visionary writer William S. Burroughs to the audience. This schizo-connection unveils a unique lens through which to interpret the experimental approaches of the American avant-garde, encompassing figures such as Burroughs, Cage, and Kathy Acker. Their writing emerges as a powerful counterprogram to the assertive power articulated by Foucault and Deleuze in the 1970s, adding depth and complexity to the literary landscape.
