I understand turning the work into something new to explore it&#8217;s messages and ideas. I think it is so cool when fan fiction, theories, spin off books come into play because the story the author imagined becomes an entire world. I love reading literally because for just one moment, I leave myself, BYU, and Provo behind and I can be anywhere. I can see anything, I can learn anything, I can explore thoughts on my own.<\/p>\n<p>But reading a poem backwards make no sense.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the article, he writes about Deformance. Deformance is the process of viewing something with a mind of interpretation and one&#8217;s own opinion. It is a way for a piece to be on display in a way that is not usually noticed. The main \u00a0reason why I like the principle of Deformance is because it is a performance deformed. Usually it is the performance that changes and adapts and the audience watches, but here the audience has to do the changing to take a piece of work that is constant and unchanging and find a new way of looking at it. Deformance shifts the work from the creators and writers to the viewers. I agree that Deformance is when real ideas and inspiration is developed, but not when you read a piece of poetry backwards.<\/p>\n<p>No one should read poetry backwards. That is stupid.<\/p>\n<p>And to prove that deformed things are not always the greatest things&#8230;.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dh17.chalcedonyco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Pumpkin.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-31\" src=\"http:\/\/dh17.chalcedonyco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Pumpkin-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dh17.chalcedonyco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Pumpkin-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/dh17.chalcedonyco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Pumpkin.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reading Notes Towards a Deformed Humanities and I thought it was so weird.
