Anna Moschovakis
amoschovakis@gmail.com
The Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
PhD in Comparative Literature (in progress since 2000)
Areas of Interest: Through translation (and false translations), collaborations and other attempts to erase conventional authority (e.g., using chance operations, claiming otherworldly inspiration), and what I term linguistic slumming—most clearly delineated in constraint-based writing, such as John Cage’s work or that of the OULIPO, but intriguingly present elsewhere in Modern and postmodern poetry and fiction.
