Who is Jean-Paul Shovczon? Describe the man and his voice. In light of Barthes’s death of the author, please write Shovczon’s obituary and email it to ps138792@ohiou.edu.

 

Jean-Paul Shovczon was the pseudonym of Paul Shovlin and John Borczon, two graduate students in Rhetoric and Composition at Ohio University in the 00s. They used this name to write one multi-media manifesto before they wrote their dissertations, got jobs, tenure, then retired. Shovczon represented the ambitious dreams of what still seems possible when you were a graduate student. He died in agony.
