This title in other editionsElectronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary (ND Ward Phillips Lectures)by N. Katherine Hayles
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:With desktop, laptop, and handheld devices available at even
poverty-stricken scholars' prices, the age of turning the page seems
to be passing by. Writers, good writers are responding to these
technologies in a new genre, and Hayles (literature and design/media
arts, U. of California, Los Angeles) uses her expertise here to
explain its importance and move it into the classroom. She describes
the transition from page to screen and the contexts for electronic
literature (namely, the body and the machine), and shows how the
genre is both revealing and transforming as it revalues computational
practice. In a very lively final chapter she discusses the respective
futures of print and electronic literature.
