Anti-Social Media and Socially Engaged E-Lit
In response to the theme of "peripheries," this paper will explore the question of social media, poetics and externalities. Within the expansive semiotic space of contemporary interactive audiovisual media and the esoteric processes of machine language, the question of how one might wield the tools of discourse in service of socially engaged art gain new urgency.
Many assumptions about digital discourse in the United States are framed by the pragmatics of pop forms, driving political, aesthetic, and, even, intellectual discourse ever closer to consumer norms, under the rhetoric of authenticity, relevance, and democracy. To contextualize my argument, I will discuss the evolution of the popular, from craft to the vernacular, from mass media through interactive design, tracing a general evolution of social realism vis-à-vis shifting conceptions of authenticity.
