[…]and writing – a process which I discussed in some other ebr publications as well as in Switching Codes (2011). At the same time that I was working on that series of nonfiction works in the desert southwest of the United States, I was starting more experimental collaborations with fiction writers and poets. One of the first of these was a fragmented panoramic narrative project filmed in Mexico City with author Deb Olin Unferth and entitled Something That Happened Only Once. In this project, song fragments narrativize the actions of individuals picture upon a rotating panorama in impossible ways, spinning […]

Rob Wittig What are your thoughts about the possible community building potential of Netprov, and/or Netprov as a tool to build bridges in a polarized society? William Gillespie You’re asking me about the potential for community building of Netprov and the potential of Netprov to build bridges in a polarized society? God damn, I’m going to need an ellipsis!

[…]relief overall is Gaddis’s persistent interest in existential humanist questions even as he was working on his great “systems novel,” with its long legacy of antihumanist or posthumanist critical interpretation. Gaddis at one point asks in a note why Slade, with all his devilish powers, would let the people beat and torture him in the opening scenes where his previous town runs him out on a rail. Gaddis imagines rewriting the scene to more fully stress Slade’s “scorn of the mob in the midst of this agonizing torment, his almost inhuman attempt to give them the satisfaction of seeing him […]
[…]85, 86 , 89): the first time to say that he is planning it, the second and third to describe his working conditions (unable to type continuously because of disturbing neighbours, and so writing by hand and making lots of notes), the fourth to describe the “incredible slowness” of his progress on it, working from midnights to 4am. He discusses further struggles with it months later in a letter to Charles Socarides: though it “fits so insanely well with facts of life,” “I watch myself ruin it” through “bad writing,” an example of which he extracts for proof (Letters 97).

It’s been just this kind of funny thing that my entire career I’ve generally I moved from working in a solitary practice to working in physical spaces, generally in teams, working collaboratively. SR: I want to read the list because you’re the Director of the Immersive Storytelling Lab at York University, the Augmented Reality Lab, and the Founding Director of the Future Cinema Lab. That’s a lot of labs. CF: It’s a lot of labs. SR: Can you say just a little bit about what all those things are and how you juggle it all? CF: Yeah. So, the […]

That would accord with the conclusion in a recent paper which recounts carrying out a similar attempt to mimic the style of H. P. Lovecraft. They […]
[…]the contradictory potential of the politics. As such, bookishness offers analytical potential and critical insights to reflect on feminist knowledge within digital culture and contributes to broader discussions on knowledge production in a digital age. Not only would this be the future discussion of bookishness, but it also inspires much discussion at the intersections of affect, technology, aesthetics, and politics in our post-digital world.

[…]even with crews whose business model will entirely depend on small donations. However, not all groups share the same ideals about the charitable nature of their work. For instance, scanlating communities do not uniformly share the ethical code prescribing the principle of non-interference with established book publishers who have licensed or are in the process of licensing the translations of manga comics. Some groups will refuse to strictly limit themselves to scanlating discontinued or out-of-print manga and may or may not remove from circulation a scanlation that becomes commercially available by accredited channels, even when they are requested to do […]
