2. Digitale verdener: de nye mediers æstetik og design

   I de senere år har man med fremvæksten af nye digitale medier og redskaber været vidne til en fremvækst af teoretiske betragtninger over de nye digitale fænomener: om deres forhold til filosofi, æstetik og design og om deres samspil med samfundet, kulturen og individet. Denne antologi søger at give et overblik over nogle af de mange synspunkter og teorier, der cirkulerer i den aktuelle debat mellem forskere inden for digital æstetik og design. Med baggrund i disse diskussioner afmærker bogen ikke blot debattens vigtigste temaer, men giver også konkrete bud på, hvordan de nye digitale fænomener kan analyseres. Bidragyderne er alle primært yngre forskere, der både nationalt og internationalt har været med til at etablere forskningen inden for digital æstetik og design: Gert Balling, Rasmus Blok, Ida Engholm, Jesper Juul, Anker Helms Jørgensen, Anders Fagerjord, Gonzala Frasca, Lisbeth Klastrup, Raine Koskimaa, Lars Qvortrup, Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, Mette Sandbye, Frank Schaap, Lisbeth Thorlacius.

3. The Ideology of Genre: A Comparative Study of Generic Instability

   In a series of comparative essays on a range of texts embracing both high and popular culture from the early modern era to the contemporary period, The Ideology of Genrecounters both formalists and advocates of the "death of genre," arguing instead for the inevitability of genre as discursive mediation. At the same time, Beebee demonstrates that genres are inherently unstable because they are produced intertextually, by a system of differences without positive terms. In short, genre is the way texts get used. To deny that genres exist is to deny, in a sense, the possibility of reading; if genres exist, on the other hand, then they exist not as essences but as differences, and thus those places within and between texts where genres "collide" reveal the connections between generic status, interpretive strategy, ideology, and the use-value of language.
