Hey, 'DV' thanks for the heads up! I left them a comment asking if one might subscribe to future comments on the book and letting them know I will wish to purchase a copy. YOB-f
Someone sent me this link to a new book that is being published of the writings of Brion Gysin & William S. Burroughs on the cut-up technique.
You probably won't find a better understanding of cut-up than going directly to Gysin & Burroughs. Included is an explanation of the difference between cut-up & DaDa methods.
Apparently this new volume includes a new printing of the book The Third Mind (1978) by Gysin & Burroughs, which originally fared very poorly and copies are hard to find. Of course it is now a classic. (Gysin only rarely visited the USA & was not well know in the states until after Burroughs' (final) return.) Anyway, looks like a good book.

Woopsie! You, sho-nuff got a cutup there fer sure!
Here's a link to what wikipedia 'thinks' cutups are.
Hi, Jennifer. I'll offer an opinion although I DO NOT consider myself an expert on what is/isn't a cutup.
I believe that cutups get their magic from new associations caused by juxtaposing text snip[pet]s and the example you pose seems to have but one text snip. Although, the blocking of part of that snip by the orange hand might lead to new meanings or associations?
I suppose that one could snip in such a fashion that the removals around the edge could change the meaning of the remainder. One could even snip word[part]s out of the internal body of the snip but that'd be like the crooked redactions we've seen in the news of late.
Ahhhhh! Get it off, get it off. It's eating my brain... mphglhy
