[…]context, with the presence of an audience, albeit an invisible, online audience, and working in the “safe” private space of the rehearsal group. As Sawyer explains, “[r]ehearsal enables interactional synchrony to be established more quickly, but it also makes the group performance more predictable” (65), suggesting there is a tension between the need to build trust and work through possible “group riffs”, while at the same time avoiding creating too much familiarity and the associated potential loss of spontaneity. Once the “live” netprov was launched, participants did begin to post their pre-written materials, but gradually there was a shift from […]
[…]between human and other-than-human nature. The tremendous popularity of the selfie has produced studies, which trace its origin and distinguish in detail between user groups and occasions. The most prominent book-length study in English is Alicia Eler’s The Selfie-Generation: How Our Self Images Are Changing Our Notions of Privacy, Sex, Consent, and Culture (2017). While this study explains many less obvious purposes of the selfie, it fails to place the phenomenon in the context of environmental concerns. Often, the selfie does relate to the urge to appear popular, successful, and attractive online. It thus shifts focus from any surroundings to […]
[…]of the AEL is the first in this context, which includes activities such as conferences, workshops, studies, and networks. Closing the digital divide : The culture of collaboration between the writer and the programmer has not been sufficiently promoted in the Arabic e-lit context. Moreover, most Arab writers do not have a solid background in programming and computer software. This context created a digital gap between the Arabic e-lit and its world counterpart. As explained before, the comparison between the digital technology used in the current Arabic e-lit and that used in the ELC3 resulted in a clear digital divide. […]
[…]story about a spiritualist named John Murray Speare, who built a machine (under instruction from a group of helpful spirits known as the “Associated Electrizers”) that was intended to house the second coming. It was called the “New Motor” or the “Wonderful Infant.” A woman calling herself the “second Mary” lay near the device and simulated labor, summoning the spirit down into the machine, which moved, a little. (A mob smashed it.) This seems to me not just an eerie real-life update of Frankenstein, but a perfect parable for the times, and brings me back to literature. I think postmodernism […]
[…]time was raising funds to support the Georgian National Legion in Ukraine (Scott). However, the group’s weapon of choice is the ubiquitous “doge,” or Shiba Inu—badly represented, sometimes bordering on the aesthetics and ontologies of dank memes. Activists call themselves “fellas” (just like @SniperFella who proposed NewFellaLand) and specialize in viral content aimed at combating Kremlin war propaganda, including videos of the Russian army set to music, intently mocking the efforts of occupiers. Along with @SaintJavelin (a fundraising movement established in February 2022 by Chris Borys, a journalist with ties to Poland and Ukraine) they constitute a swarm of digital […]
[…]Funkhouser picks up where the previous book left off (around 1995) and makes a series of case studies that span about 15 years of Web based digital poetry. In these case studies, he maps out some of the most important developments in digital poetry, showing how writers from the first generation continued to develop their work in the 2nd generation or contemporary period. And while this book concluded with a nod towards some of the emerging platforms of the time: social media networks, mobile platforms, and Web APIs, its conceptualization of the field was aligned with Hayles’ notion of contemporary […]
[…]our tools, particularly visualization tools, has not yet been accompanied by a new regime for the critical interpretation of these tools; this critical regime is still in a fledgeling state. These digital tools entail “a methodological implementation and a paradigmatic inscription and finally determine singular epistemological postures” (Bigot, 2018), without the designers of the tools nor the researchers who use them always being aware of it. These devices hold normative power over research practices but also over conceptions of scientific knowledge. How might digital literature be of assistance to us in this shift from an epistemology of measure to an […]
[…]lust, etc… ) are preserved across the vertebrates. “Cross-species affective neuroscience studies confirm that primary-process emotional feelings are organized within primitive subcortical regions of the brain that are anatomically, neurochemically, and functionally homologous in all mammals” Unfortunately for me in my quest for ethical superiority, the truths proposed or exposed by Drucker are subtle, nuanced, reflective, refractive, contextual, hilarious, and problematic. DownDrift refuses to be claimed as a repository for moral indignation. No stance is given a pure line. Hybridization complicates hunting. Society ferments. “A nursing mother whale, just a little offshore, pulls her calf tight to her teat. She […]
[…]had said. Sit back and watch in awe as one sophisticated critter eviscerates another on a color-coded screen. Much too bright or not enough to be convincing descriptions of nature. For the disillusioned, there are these three things: 1. sonorous cowboys hitch up primate dungarees 2. to restore the consolation of silence will remain the role of objects 3. four little girls, along with fragile creatures of many other kinds, will wander in and out of this color field just beyond our grasp Given the charge that the term Anthropocene implies – opening new territory beyond scientific and ethical neutrality […]
[…]change and even crisis (mad cow disease in the British countryside, gentrification of formerly working farms, abandoned city plots gone to seed, farm to table food contrasted with processed convenience food, polar landscapes on which masculinist/nationalist fantasies are projected), but Bracke does not do the critical work to connect these varied environmental crises to the climate crisis of her title and introduction. In fact, Chapter 1 is the section of the book that comes closest to addressing climate and narrative. Chapter 2 focuses on “pastoral” narratives where the novels under consideration draw upon tropes of an idyllic British countryside in […]
