Electronic Literature: Where Is It?

[…]no mention of more contemporary elit pieces. That “net art” became the name of choice for some working in the area of web-based elit should come as no surprise under these circumstances since the term “literature” in the name of elit may have limited its inclusion in media art festivals, exhibitions, and art scholarship. So, the irony is that the electronic aspect of elit creates suspicion for traditional English departments just as the notion of literature does not fit well for the visual or media arts. Despite this unsettled position in academe, thousands of elit works are collected by such […]

Tom LeClair’s Passing Trilogy: Recovering Adventure in the Age of Post-Genre

[…]what Eleni is,” POff 169) into providing courier services to what appears to be an ecoterrorist group he suspects plans to blow up the Parthenon. Having barely extricated himself from direct complicity with the group and its shady representative, he now carries a bundle of cash so large that it would get him arrested while trying to cross the border. Considering that Eleni has information she has threatened to make public – information that would expose a lie about his ancestry he and his agent have fabricated in order to gain eligibility to play pro-ball in Greece – his slipping […]

Ping Poetics

[…]on writing in electronic media. No doubt, rebranding such as the turn to Web 2 or Critical Code Studies provide added descriptive precision to the discourse. I am not making the banal point of questioning the value of these approaches, nor the value of what I call the literary critical discourse on electronic literature. Rather, I say our question should be, instead of the existence or essence or thing of electronic literature, I say we should ask: What is electronic literature after? By this I mean at least two things. Firstly, what does it desire? What do we want with […]

Multiculturalism in World of Warcraft

[…]in the early- and mid-twentieth century as being a key argument for the biological equality of groups (and, often, the relative equality of group cultures). This was not to say, however, that “racial” populations did not sometimes craft, nurture, and pass on, distinctive cultural traditions. One of Boas’s students, the anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, worked to record such cultural traditions among African American populations in rural Florida and Afro-Caribbean populations in Haiti and Jamaica. She found folktales and religious traditions of hoodoo that were particular to some populations of African Americans living across the South; likewise, to her eye, Haitian […]

Cognition Against Narrative: Six Essays on Contemporary Cognitive Fiction

[…]consciousness, but rather with determining what the brain is. This return to ontology in cognitive studies, concerning what we know not how knowledge is constructed or narrated, has found a popular audience that eludes contemporary literary and cultural studies. A recent school in the field of New Media, known as “Object-Oriented Ontology,” similarly reflects this turn away from introspection, meaning, and agency, while bidding fair to activate a new popular audience through the sustained use of blogs, networks, and a whole range of media affordances that become, themselves, objects of knowledge. It’s that last characteristic, the creation and activation of […]

Unworldly Reflections

[…]up for the first time (and only once) in the concluding chapter. One feels the absence of these critical engagements more and more as the book goes on. Some might commend Chodat for eschewing poststructuralism and following his own, less familiar, critical and philosophical lights. Such “individualism” is indeed commendable, given the right circumstances, given the proper context. In the case of Worldly Acts, the refusal to engage with well-rehearsed, well-known poststructuralist investigations into the philosophy, history, and politics of agency opens up the book to the charge of anachronism. As for the “remarkable range of sentient things” (234) in […]

In Praise of “In Praise of Overreading”

[…]of dialogue. First of all, then, Derrida’s method, Davis argues, is to apply a “sufficient critical pressure” to a text to result in a “disruptive semantic excess” (28) – and note how Davis’ title (Critical Excess) has been severed, or spread out, or disseminated, into his characterization of Derrida’s method. If Derrida sees his work as a “duel of singularities”, of reading and writing, that he “writes toward … the event of another text” … literature “names something that cannot be contained by rules and principles” (29); and while the text demands “absolute fidelity,” there’s always a remainder (Lacan’s objet […]
