1 Straining the Meaning Sacha Gibbons , 2012 single work criticism
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , March vol. 1 no. 2 2012; 'The new shorter Oxford English dictionary’s first definition of ‘violent’ as a transitive verb is ‘strain the meaning of (a text)’. This word is not in currency and ‘violate’ performs the transitive function, although it does not have a definition that specifically refers to actions against texts. That we can be violent against texts is significant for understanding critical and creative judgment in literary practice. The relevance of violence for literature involves more than portrayals of violent acts. It also involves the violation of tacit contracts of writing and interpretation.' (Publication abstract)
