Tekstaamisessa

Tekstaamisessa is a literary concept that refers to the artistic and creative process of modifying and arranging text in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and conveys a specific tone or feeling. This can involve various techniques, such as rearranging words or phrases, using alliteration and assonance, and experimenting with different font styles and layouts.

In Finnish literature, tekstaamisessa is often used to describe the creative process of authors who use language in an inventive and playful way. This can involve pushing the boundaries of conventional language use and exploring new ways of expressing thoughts and emotions. Tekstaamisessa is not just limited to writing, but can also apply to other forms of text-based communication, such as poetry, film scripts, and even online posts.

Tekstaamisessa shares some similarities with other literary devices, such as fragmentation and collage. However, it is a distinct concept that emphasizes the importance of creative and experimental approaches to language and text. By using tekstaamisessa, writers and artists can create new meanings and interpretations of existing texts, and challenge readers to think about language in a new and innovative way.

The term tekstaamisessa is derived from the Finnish word "teksts", meaning "text". It was first coined by Finnish literary theorist, Antti Eskola, in his 1960s-70s writings on experimental literature. Since then, the term has been widely used in Finnish literary circles to describe the creative and artistic process of tekstaamisessa.
