Mujie Li: Digital Writing, Gebunden

Klappentext

Mujie Li adopts media-archaeological approach to advance a media theory of writing and its literary effects on reading, text, language, and notational materiality under digital conditions.

Drawing on historical and contemporary examples from electronic literature, media art, and digital and computational culture, this book bridges writing, language, and literature with media theory to offer a material-processual view of studying writing and language in digital culture. Li builds on key concepts, such as writing machines, from prominent philosophers and media theorists including Jacques Derrida, Bernard Stiegler, and Gilles Deleuze to examine how writing assembles media, technologies, and cultural techniques.

Emphasizing transcultural contexts, this book ultimately proposes a de-Westernized, decolonized approach to media theory, ultimately exemplifying the creativity inherent in the process of "becoming writing."
