reader's list: Electronic Literature Collection - 0 views

  •  
    In our last class (I think it was last class), Sandy mentioned the Electronic Book Review. This is the search results for "Electronic Literature Collection" on the website. As he mentioned, not all works deal with electronic literature; however, a huge majority of the essays engage in discussions that are highly relevant to the discussions we are having in class. I'll also bookmark a couple of key essays and give a short blurb as to why I think you all might want to check them out.

The ecstasy of influence: A plagiarism, By Jonathan Lethem (Harper's Magazine) - 0 views

  • higher cribbing
  • worth
  • se for perpetual copyright is a denial of the essential gift-aspect of the creative act.
  •  
    Highly influential article about the essentially plagiaristic nature of all culture production, an article that itself is composed entirely of "borrowed texts." An excellent short and direct argument for uncreative writing.

Books Continue to Evolve - Check Out E.O. Wilson's 'Life on Earth' iBook - 0 views

    Interesting concept of books as an app. I find it interesting that these textbooks are not being "written" but "developed".

Reviewing Pinterest, the Newest Social Media Site - NYTimes.com - 2 views

  •  
    I really need to try out Pinterest. I have heard great things about it! PS. Maybe these people do not lead the lives of grad students? So perhaps they have more time? haha
  •  
    Martina, I did not understand Pinterest for a long time - had an account and never used it! Then a friend took 2 minutes to show me how it works - and I've been hooked ever since. Regardless of anything any critic or fan says of Pinterest, it's a pretty fantastically brilliant website. (And a lot fun!)
  •  
    I'm absolutely addicted to Pinterest, much more so than Facebook! Pinterest and Diigo seem to have operate on a similar premises: social bookmarking with an attractive user interface.

At Last, They See: E-Books 'Democratize' Publishing : NPR - 0 views

  • the world of publishing has been slow to embrace the transition from print to e-books
  • It was the kind of crowd where some were more inclined to say "Steal my book!" than to argue over what that e-book should cost
  • Dominque Raccah, CEO and publisher of Sourcebooks, is experimenting with the "agile publishing" model — which allows authors and readers to interact as the book is still being written.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Digital enhancements may even make the book smarter, but the experience of reading will be fundamentally the same.
  •  
    Interesting in terms of our discussion on the democratic nature of electronic literature.

Our Media, Ourselves: Are We Headed For A Matrix? : NPR - 0 views

  • And here we are, catching up to that vision of the future. Sales of physical books dropped 30 percent last year, while e-book sales more than doubled. Sales of DVDs fell during that same period, while online streaming rose. And in 2011, for the first time, digital music downloads overtook sales of CD
  • Nothing physical to establish that one person is different from another. It's a horror story in which humanity has abandoned all of what makes us human.
  •  
    Interesting in terms of McLuhan and discussions last class.

AXE's Channel - YouTube - 1 views

  •  
    This probably seems ridiculous that I'm sharing this, but this directly relates to a paper I wrote last semester about the rhetoric employed by AXE and now I think they're making a move that applies to this class. Here we have some combination of McLuhan's idea of media being an extension of man and we see elements of IF as people actively contribute the making of a graphic novel and then are characterized by the creators for their input all the while fusing their digital selves to some sort of global and digital AXE alliance. Imagine how difficult it would be to by a different product once you become part of their story and your digital self participates (to channel the ideas of Barry Brummett) in this particular reality.

RSA Animate - The Internet in Society: Empowering or Censoring Citizens? - 0 views

  •  
    This RSA adaptation of Evgeny Morozov's 2009 talk illustrates (and examines) the concept of "cyber-utopianism": the theory that the internet "plays a largely emancipatory role in global politics." Morozov discusses whether or not the internet predominately empowers or censors citizens by facilitating activism and allowing individuals to disseminate information more effectively.

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 :)

HTML5: Assessing the Promise - emedia and Technology @ FolioMag.com - 0 views

  •  
    Most of the articles I'm bookmarking for now I don't really have a lot of response or reaction to or deep meaningful thought about because I'd never even heard of HTML5 until our class last week (2.15). So, now, I'm just trying to educate myself and get caught up on what all is being said out there about HTML5. This article addresses some of that in ways I can understand.
