1. Writing Space: The Computer, Hypertext, and the History of Writing

   From the publisher:

   This second edition of Jay David Bolter's classic text expands on the objectives of the original volume, illustrating the relationship of print to new media, and examining how hypertext and other forms of electronic writing refashion or "remediate" the forms and genres of print. Reflecting the dynamic changes in electronic technology since the first edition, this revision incorporates the Web and other current standards of electronic writing. As a text for students in composition, new technologies, information studies, and related areas, this volume provides a unique examination of the computer as a technology for reading and writing.

   Original publication date: 1991, published by Laurence Erlbaum Associates, Hillsdale, New Jersey.

2. Writing Space: The Computer, Hypertext, and the History of Writing

   This book is a study of the computer as a new technology for reading and writing -- a technology that may replace the printing press as our principal medium of symbolic communication. One of the main subjects of Writing Space is hypertext, a technique that allows scientists, scholars, and creative writers to construct texts that interact with the needs and desires of the reader. Bolter explores both the theory and practice of hypertext, demonstrating that the computer as hypertext represents a new stage in the long history of writing, one that has far-reaching implications in the fields of human and artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy, semiotics, and literary theory.

3. How has technology changed writing and literature?

   Matthew G. Kirschenbaum, a professor of English at the University of Maryland and director of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities, explored questions of technology, research, content and writing at the intersection of literary and technological history during an ATLAS Speaker Series presentation Oct. 1, 2012.

   Drawing from his book, “Track Changes: A Literary History of Word Processing,” Kirschenbaum talked about how word processors have changed the history and culture of authorship and how technology has changed the relationship of writers to their craft. 

   This event was a collaboration between the ATLAS Institute, CU’s Department of English, The ICJMT (Information, Communication, Journalism, Media and Technology) Initiative, University Libraries ScriptaLab and Friends of the Libraries.

   The ATLAS Speaker Series is made possible by a generous donation by Idit Harel Caperton and Anat Harel.

4. The Heaviness of Light

   Este texto explora as implicações materiais da leitura e escrita eletrónicas no Antropoceno. Faz isso examinando brevemente as consequências que a produção e o uso de dispositivos eletrónicos têm nos ecossistemas e nos contextos sociais. São oferecidas diferentes perspetivas sobre como um leitor ou escritor pode lidar com os efeitos negativos dos sistemas sociotécnicos: contenção, consciência farmacológica e sentido de comunhão. Tais perspetivas podem ser transformadas em ferramentas de leitura e escrita para o Antropoceno que permitam aos leitores e escritores de literatura eletrónica integrar a noção de comunidade alargada, ou seja, de uma cumplicidade íntima e paradoxal com humanos e não humanos próximos e remotos, convidando-os a entrar no texto digital.
