  2. Close Reading und der Streit um Begriffe

    Was kennzeichnet digitale Literatur? Entsteht sie schon durch die Transformation aus dem einen Medium ins andere? Welche Rolle spielen Medienechtheit und Medienrelevanz? Wieviel Text muss ein hypermediales Werk aufweisen, um zur digitalen Literatur zu gehören und nicht zur digitalen Kunst? Wie verändert sich die Rolle des Autors, wenn Leser, Maschinen oder Bakterien an seine Stelle treten? Der Aufsatz verbindet die Diskussion terminologischer Fragen mit den Fallanalysen einiger interessanter Beispiele.

  3. If the Message Is the Medium, Then There Is No End: Understanding and Defining Materiality in Representational and Communicative Practices Across Media

    Media are always and at once substances and channels, both things and bridges. When we use this word medium, it is sometimes though not always clear in which sense we are using it. With broadcast media (television, radio) we tend to emphasize the network aspect. With fine art media (paint, ink, stone, clay), we tend to emphasize the material aspect. Yet as the 17th century painter and architect Frederico Zuccari reminds us in his writings about drawing as an artistic practice and medium, the inscription of a mark on a page is itself a bridge between an idea and its external realization. Thus every act of inscription is at once blending these two senses of the term media, thing and network. However, with digital media, the distinction between the two aspects of the term medium appear to be conflated and to collapse into each other. In this paper, I explore ways in which it may be possible to recuperate both senses of the term medium in a digital age by first acknowledging the importance of materiality to textual representation and communication practices and secondly, by developing a nomenclature for accurately describing the actions involved in such practices.

  4. Against Animal Authenticity, Against the Forced March of the Now: a review of Nicole Shukin’s Animal Capital

    In one half of a pair of critical reviews looking at recent titles in animal studies, Karl Steel examines Nicole Shukin’s Animal Capital (Shukin reviews Steel in the other half). In particular, Steel looks at Shukin’s biopolitical framework, and considers how that framework challenges not only our conception of what constitutes the animal, but also–and more to the bone–our conception of the capacity of fields like animal studies.
