When you adopt their rules, you assume a certain posture and a set of hypotheses about the way things are and should be. But if you want to remake the world, you have to start by liquidating the old forms and starting anew.’ Discuss the process of writing in ‘new’ ways with reference to any text from thismodule.

2.‘The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects “unfamiliar,” to make forms difficult to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged.’ (Viktor Shklovsky)How does avant-garde writing challenge conventional forms of representation? Discuss in relationto any text from thismodule.

3.‘There is no “originality” as such in literature, only new ways of combining and redacting already existing texts.’Discuss with reference to any text from thismodule.
