Join us for a citational performance work-in-progress by Trish Scott (CMCI) followed by a Q&A / conversation with Kélina Gotman (English) on writing & radical form.

Echogenerative Practice is an auto-theoretical textual performance that mobilizes echo as subject and form to interrogate how meaning is made and transformed through acts of citation. Drawing on feminist, neuroqueer, and decolonial perspectives, it reframes echo and echolalia, traditionally cast as passive or pathological, as generative forces that distort, queer, and reconfigure signification.

Constructed as a “tissue of quotations,” Echogenerative Practice performs citation as an aesthetic and critical gesture, exposing tensions between originality, appropriation, and authorship. The work positions echoing as activist poetics; a way to inhabit and transform textual lineages in order to challenge institutional norms and dominant epistemologies.
