Jon Torn, "AVANT-POP: The Program for Libidinal Detournement"
The "Avant-Pop" program of writing resistance to popular culture is theorized as a libidinal detourning response to the creation of an "Avant=Pop" self by mass media. These qualities of self are seen as (1) syncretic (Ono & Sloop) (2) virtual (Deleuze & Guattari), and (3) cyborg (Haraway).
