Description
Anticulturalist Manifesto by Joe Shooman is a volatile, confrontational tract that gleefully atomises authorship, culture and interpretation in favour of a self-cancelling absolutism. Written in scorched-earth prose and aphoristic blasts, the text performs its own contradictions as it asserts that truth is provisional, ownership illusory, and meaning the preserve of the single, sovereign reader or writer, as it suits them. Shooman synthesises Derridean instability and Barthesian author-death only to reject both in favour of the anticulturalist, who claims and disclaims sole authority simultaneously. Formally unstable and ideologically untethered, this is a work that spirals around its own impossibility, issuing recursive proclamations, cancelling itself, and insisting on its singularity at every turn. It is a text as weapon, trap, provocation and joke, all of them serious.
