N. Katherine Hayles Interview - YouTube - 1 views

    • Jillian Swisher
       
      I found Hayles's views on authorship and Wikipedia to be particularly interesting: {12:03} "I'm not alarmed by Wikipedia. In fact, I think Wikipedia is the best source for some aspects of popular culture. . . And it really is a framework that draws on all the expert knowledge that's out there that doesn't exist in the authorized channels. To me, that's a great thing." {12:58} "It used to be that one would be an author in the sense of producing a print book. That print book would be vetted by expert readers at the press. . . But in Wikipedia, there's a very vibrant back-and-forth between all manner of readers and contributors. . . Rather than being off completely separate from print, in fact, Wikipedia has very complex cross-connections with print authority."

    Here's an interesting interview with N. Katherine Hayles (author of this week's readings) for a program called The Artist's Craft. Hayles talks about some of the concepts found in this week's readings and also touches upon some new ideas. I find the material to be extremely accessible in this Q&A format.

Publishers Gild Books With 'Special Effects' to Compete With E-Books - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    Very interesting article about publishing houses' efforts to keep up with the e-book world. Ties in nicely to some points Hayles made in "Print is flat; code is deep."

The Babysitter by Robert Coover - 0 views

  •  
    Here is a link to the short story "The Babysitter" by Robert Coover, mentioned by Hayle, which in her words, "pushes toward hypertext by juxtaposing contradictory and nonsequential events, suggesting many simultaneously existing time lines and narrative unfoldings" (74). You could skim it sometime :)

The Ballad of Sand and Harry Soot - 1 views

  •  
    This is the hypertextual poem by Stephanie Strickland called "The Ballad of Sand and Harry Soot," to which Hayles refers in her article "Electronic Literature: What Is It?" Hayles's idea that we must recognize "the specificity of new media without abandoning the rich resources of traditional modes of understanding language, signification, and embodied interactions with texts" is absolutely at work in this poem.
