[…](1985). But as early as 1981, building on Oulipo’s work on combinatory literature, the ALAMO group had been launched. JR The aim of Raymond Queneau and FranÁois Le Lionnais, when they founded Oulipo, was to unite mathematicians and writers who were interested in literary creation under formal constraints. The Oulipians, while acknowledging their “plagiats par anticipation” (lipograms, palindromes, etc.), strived to define and moreover to invent new literary forms using non-trivial mathematical structures. Among the various existing sources, Oulipians were naturally attracted to the writings of Jean Meschinot (1490) and those of Quirinus Kulhmann (1660) who tried quite early to […]
[…]has said that he believes his core audience will be “younger readers used to working with web pages with multiple texts,” and he said he persuaded his publisher to serialize House of Leaves on the Internet. This is an interesting experiment because the future medium for monstrous fictions may well be electronic, where space is cheap and distribution can be world-wide. Because of its mass and excess, House of Leaves will probably make its publisher some money, but most novelists complain about decreasing outlets for experimental work like Danielewski’s. monstermedia And that’s why I want to discuss two hypertexts, Shelley […]
[…]and books ought to be capable of joining with digital media in the work of mapping, rewiring, renetworking the same old pool of elements in new ways (to cite the Seattle collective, In.S.Omnia, reviewed in this issue by Paul Harris). In this spirit of recombination, ebr will go on reviewing books in print (preferably before they are out of print. By taking advantage of the more streamlined electronic production process, an electronic journal should get around to covering small-press, scholarly, fringe, and other small-run titles within the period of their limited shelf life). Yet the term book in our title […]
[…]of traditional Chinese stories, myths, American grade school recitations, American cultural codes of femininity, and more – acts of recitation that always take place with modifications. As he concludes that these oppositional acts of recitation never lose their attraction to the discourse of the American dream, Douglas argues the extent to which the narrators employ ideological material [by which they position themselves in the larger social body] as a language that fundamentally enables reflection, affection, and action — albeit in certain established paths and trajectories. (13) Hence, Reciting America shows a keen appreciation for the consequences of engaging in politics […]
How can artists working along the blurry boundary of music, sound, and noise let the language speak itself? How can they charge language with meaning to the utmost possible degree? Network Voices is an mp3 compilation that features the work of a variety of interdisciplinary artists and critical theorists playing with audio signals. This cluster of digital language investigations pursues the idea of writing as sound, writing as event, writing as experience, and writing as performative gesture. If, as Wittgenstein suggests, the self is grammatical, if it punctuates its own meaning in the space-time-matter of targeted compositional methodologies as executed […]
[…]one might ask Ferré to consider the concept with stringent logic, if only because materialist studies, Holocaust studies, and other theoretical conversations recently have raised serious and troubling issues concerning the conflation of the ethical with the aesthetic. Yet when Ferré outlines PMPO, he tends to slip from logical proof to the declarative. In the last three chapters, for example, where readers are led to expect a full working out of this ethical schema in the natural, technological, and political worlds, they get instead very general narrative summaries about space, social problems, and issues in cultural politics with statements about […]
[…]cultural analysis of the institution of literature. In the context of literature, Siegert joins a group of critics often lumped together under the dated and misleading term New Historicism, who examine the frequently forgotten material conditions under which modern concepts such as “novel,” “lyric,” “character,” or “literature” itself emerged. It is impossible to overestimate how radically such work has transformed literary studies. In the transmission of clay tablets in the sixth century B.C., Siegert observes the earliest manifestations of postal relays, but his study focuses on the transformation of this official system of information exchange into a system of exchange […]
[…]the mind’s self-knowing and their inter- penetration. If God had left off speaking, once code was stated, briefly, then Rhetoric should too. The tangible world intaken: intelligible. The fact of experience, a shadow of God: the act of cognition a moment of fusion in which a thing finds its concept – and is found. This is a mind of snow in Connecticut. This is a Snow Mind knowing as if None knew. Exhilarated. Brilliant. An eagle at the breast of the whitening world. (True North 53) The emotional reduction that Gibbs the Puritan made of his life, and the material […]
[…]of some “post-revolutionary” writing). History spares no one, and can hardly produce great critical minds that can distance themselves from events less than a decade past. This is not a place where Baudrillard’s dictum about the arrival of the end of history holds (not to speak of Nietzsche’s antecedent dictum of similar refrain). While shepherds continue to roam hilltops in an almost photographic semblance to the last century, history will continue, feverishly even. When these shepherds begin to chat with their local sheep cloner over satellite linked cellular phones we can in turn begin to look for and analyze a […]
[…]to investigate to what degree hypertext and democratization are linked or not (nowadays, it is uncritically assumed that hypertext automatically produces a more democratic functioning of writing and reading processes). Here, it is not completely useless to remember the very critical remarks an author such as Enzensberger made on the rapid spread of pocket books, which, mutatis mutandis, in the ’50s and ’60s meant a revolution of literary culture and habits not unlike the transformations which have resulted from putting literature on the web in the late ’90s, and which Enzensberger precisely called a pseudo-revolution, even a counterrevolution, since the […]
