paraphlagiarism: neologism: a portmanteau of paraphrase and plagiarise
a form of web audio art, a paraphlagiarism is tailored to internet / social media presentation and consists of a simple short video with a strong audio track
it contains a paraphlage: a paraphrased/plagiarised quotation (usually from a well-known writer or artist) that represents an important or quirky view of art and/or music
paraphrasing is performed in the manner of a student plagiarising big ideas in an essay or conversation
e.g. this, from Slavoj Žižek:
"One often hears that to understand a work of art one needs to know its historical context. Against this historicist commonplace, a Deleuzian counter-claim would be not only that too much of a historical context can blur the proper contact with a work of art (i.e., that to enact this contact one should abstract from the work’s context), but also that it is, rather, the work of art itself that provides a context enabling us to understand properly a given historical situation."
might become, in the hands of the paraphlagiarisor, this paraphlage:
"to understand a work of art you've got to know its historical context…ah, yes, but a counter-claim to that would be that it's the work of art itself that gives us the context to understand a given historical situation."
