[…]a problem as the teaching or reading of poetry and fiction. There is such a thing as an uncritical relation to critical discourse. We must learn these pedagogical praxes together or we won’t learn them, but there’s no justification for making either the gateway to the other. It may be the case that Amato/Fleisher would agree with this sentiment. It is hardly original. As so often, I am far from sure against whom, if anyone, I’m arguing. If engaging with theoretical texts of a particular stripe has the desired effect – i.e., results in a more politically engaged and productively […]
[…]the unconscious, materiality, “pictures,” or simply ourselves. In general, our established critical vocabulary is itself too implicated in their repression to help identify them. But what seems clear is that acknowledging their presence will demand new practices of reading and writing, practices that are still poorly understood and that presuppose a fundamental reorientation of attention, feeling, commitment, and perception. For as Requiem and “Melanctha” both show, our problem is not that we need someone to tell us what we’re doing to ourselves. On the contrary, our problem is that we can’t need someone to tell us this, necessitating ever greater […]
[…]media, it’s still clear that almost all the knowledge we can gain from traditional literary studies is based on literary objects that are static, intransient, determinate, impersonal, random access, solely interpretative and without links. The same goes for literary values as well. I’m not downplaying the importance of this knowledge or the flexibility of the traditional print format; I’m just saying we can now see and describe its limits more clearly (to our own benefit). From the broader perspective it will be extremely interesting to see what will happen in and to attempts to combine the realm of non-exhaustive interpretation […]
[…]and linked to further references on the Web — if you’re comfortable leaving the room. Old working video games by Atari are there, as are working versions of Adventure, Eliza, and Spacewar! (the first modern video game). Be prepared to spend several hours playing the old Atari 2600 games, alone. Lev Manovich, in a companion introduction, proposes that the developers of human-computer interaction are the “major modern artists.” Manovich writes: “…in my view this book is not just an anthology of new media but also the first example of a radically new history of modern culture — a view from […]
[…]shared by many critics. What LeClair championed in DeLillo: ” The Names first seems to obey the codes of domestic realism, but it broadens to a multinational systems novel” (In the Loop 204) is what he has tried to simulate in his Greek theatre of basketball but like so many other novelists coming to sport in this century, he has not quite believed that basketball could carry its own weight, to stand adequately for what needs to be represented. Yet at times Keever stands his jock ground against the evil internationalists with only his sporting doxa to protect him. “Athletes […]
[…]should speak of hypertexts or cybertexts, and whether games or texts should be the object of critical attention) toward more general issues concerning the creation, preservation, and archiving of electronic literature. Because its form is integral to the html-based form of the earlier version of the electronic book review, we present Parker’s essay as a free-standing project, available here. Rettberg’s and Kirschenbaum’s entries can be read in their original formats as ebr riPOSTes or they can be accessed in the current interface. All are included under the blue thREAD, […]
[…]involves a tacit complicity with capitalist power. Wilson’s essay appears to legitimize this critical position. For much of his essay, Wilson argues that unlike the closed systems of Islamic art, the World Trade Center exemplifies the open systems of secular American art. It is this sense of openness that engenders the multiple possibilities associated with the WTC. Wilson’s celebration of this open system relies on a departure from an economic opposition to the towers, but on several occasions he alludes to an economic defense of their properties of openness. He speaks of how the users of the towers respond to […]
[…]creates a great opportunity for synergistic collaboration among editors, designers, novelists, critical theorists, programmers, and the like. Our goal is not to repurpose the past of print, but, rather, to invent new forms of rhetoric that intervene in our dynamic present. Admittedly, the standards for doing this are still developing. And, for some time to come, it will be necessary to publish writing whose form is transplanted from print to web. But in the meantime, the least that a journal can offer is an alternative to the single-minded, linear reading that keeps critics like Shaughnessy from seeing what’s in front […]
[…]in various interactive spaces does not necessarily allow for a greater range of exchange. The group dynamics that hamper exchange in “live” settings have colonized our electronic interactions. & you can never completely rid yourself of this virus but you can be a more or less hospitable host. Decentralization allows for multiple, conflicting authorities not the absence of authority. Authority is dead; editing begins. Mass culture is not the same as popular culture. Fostering dissent on the Web requires the invention of new formats. Authority in the defense of liberty is not linear. The destruction, in the U.S., of TV […]
[…]of September 11, a painter named Vanessa Lawrence and a sculptor named Michael Richards were both working in their studios. Lawrence escaped when the plane struck the building, but Richards did not.” http://commemoratewtc.com/history/artwork/synopsis.php The meaning of a building emerges from its appearance in relation to its uses, and to the experiences of people using it. The WTC functioned as a Post-modern structure inviting people to live Post-modern lives. Of course my thoughts are distorted: I want the lives of the people who were working in the buildings to have been happy and useful. However, since for me consolations are false […]
