Jerome Fletcher
Jerome Fletcher is Associate Professor in Performance Writing and Award Leader for MA Performance Writing at the University College Falmouth. His research interests grows directly out of his present practice as a writer and this is divided into two areas - writing for digital media and writing for large scale collaborative installation and performance. The former investigates layering, the confusion between accretion and erasure in writing. the simulataneity of an indivdual and collective reading and the use of the Archive as resource for a writing practice. The latter concerns the tension between scripting and improvisation, collaboration and multimedia, and the actualising of fictionalised personae and spaces.

His PhD on hypertext (final stages) is an effort to bound the roots of contemporary poetics with medium specific qualities of network environments. In other words: "Roman Jakobson meets Espen Aarseth". The task in question is still much needed, after over simplifications of the nineties hypertext debate.
