[Commlist] New Book: Cutting Up Books: A Writing Method In Critical Thinking

Intellect is pleased to share that /Cutting Up Books: A Writing Method 
In Critical Thinking <https://www.intellectbooks.com/cutting-up-books>/, 
by Ania Malinowska, is now available in paperback and e-book.

Can breaking and reassembling language unlock new pathways for 
understanding, research, and creative practice? Over a six-month period, 
Ania Malinowska dismantled more than 400 books, reframing their contents 
into 111 poetic epigrams. This process combines sustained, methodical 
experimentation with the openness and contingency of automatic writing. 
In doing so, /Cutting Up Books/ addresses a wider crisis of creativity 
within contemporary academic and cultural practice, while engaging 
directly with current challenges in education and the perceived threat 
posed by large language models.

The result is both manifesto and manual. /Cutting Up Books/ invites 
readers to become active participants. It argues for intellectual play, 
intuition, and embodied experimentation as serious scholarly tools, 
capable of reanimating writing, research, and thought. Moving between 
academic reflection, poetic fragments, and visual-textual composition, 
Malinowska operates across the scholarly and the personal, the analog 
and the algorithmic.
