Redaction
"Redacted" redirects here. For the 2007 film, see
Redacted (film). This page is about the literary form. For the classified-information censoring system, see
Sanitization (classified information).In the study of
literature, redaction can refer to a form of
editing, in which multiple source texts are combined together (redacted), and are subjected to minor alteration to make it appear that they are a single work. Often this is simply a method of collecting together a series of writings on a vaguely similar theme, and creating a definitive and coherent work.
