Meanings
nounschizotext (plural schizotexts)
plural schizotexts
- A poem, or similar text, that seeks to show a division of consciousness between itself and the outside world
Since the African language is latent and the European language manifest, the palimpsest is also by the same token a schizotext which further splits textual cohesion.
