“Implementation” as Guerilla Literature

After reading Krisztian’s post on “Implementation” as a literary reflection of counter-cultural movements, I’d have to agree that the piece is more about how a counter culture works rather than about the social themes it claims to react against. In my opinion, “Implementation” is part of a new genre of urban literature that can include the reactionist billboards we looked at in class, as well as city-wide graffiti. Though the latter examples aren’t cohesive narratives, they still exist in order to speak on behalf of an organized minority’s ideologies. In a way, they are like miniature visual speeches that inspire a reaction that amplifies the absurdity of social norms and conventions. When I was thinking of incorporating some of the characteristics of “Implementation” into my Textual Media Experiment, I thought about trying to reinforce this idea of “guerilla” literature by creating a broken or cohesive narrative to be dispersed in an urban environment much like “Implementation”.
