Detournement?

Debord: “The device of détournement restores all their subversive qualities to past critical judgments that have congealed into respectable truths … The defining characteristic of this use of détournement is the necessity for distance to be maintained toward whatever has been turned into an official verity … Ideas improve. The meaning of words has a part in this improvement. Plagiarism is necessary, progress implies it. Staying close to an author’s phrasing, plagiarism exploits his expressions, erases false ideas, replaces them with correct ideas … Détournement is the antithesis of quotation, of a theoretical authority invariably tainted if only because it has become quotable, because it is now a fragment torn away from its context, from its own movement … Détournement is, by contrast, the fluid language of anti-ideology … Détournement founds its cause on nothing but its own truth as critique at work in the present.”
