[…]resembles Hollywood movies in both form and content. Counter to the prevailing sentiment in film studies, Ulmer reads the later work in terms of the earlier work to both confound the apparent opposition and to suggest a model for applied grammatology. Ulmer’s reading resembles Roland Barthes’ S/Z (1974), a re-reading of a Realist story to recover a visual and semantic montage of the fragments with which the story emerges. Ulmer re-reads Eisenstein’s last completed film as a picto-ideographic (visual semantic) montage. Lesson two: modeling My own work, in Artificial Mythologies (1997), used a similar strategy to read Roland Barthes’ earliest […]

In some sense, The Companion to Digital Literary Studies cannot succeed anymore than this review could succeed in addressing all the issues relevant to digital literary studies.

Liu calls for good new media narratives that envision “whole imaginative […]

A 2004 Festschrift, with over a dozen essays on Joseph McElroy, hints at the literary implications of an ecological, medial turn in literary […]
[…]“What makes the analysis of bots different from other textual generators is that the source code, which many theorists consider key in understanding works of e-lit, is rarely available for reading.” [Lampi 2017]). Could we generate text on a picture that told a continuing story? (Yes, memes, the ultimate me – me generation). In short, we were enticed by the dark lore of possibilities, and we were surely led astray by the power of creation. Yes these journeys (we/a)re available only to a few. Yes, you could spend your years ferreting out all the possible meanings—even those that the author […]
