Books without Pages, Novels without Endings, J. Douglas

August22

I actually just started reading this. Literally. Right. Now. (or 30 seconds ago), and felt the urge to start a blog post about this reading. “What if you had a book that changed every time you read it?”- Michael Joyce 1991 This quote just blew my mind. There goes my excitement for ‘Winnie the Pooh […]

Reconfiguring Narrative, George Landow

August22

I found this reading just reiterated a lot of what we have already learnt about hypertext. It addressed the problems with structure (beginnings, middles, ends) and the lack of power to the author in some circumstances and the power to the author available in others. I liked that it incorporated Aristotle’s early definitions of beginning, […]

Critical Theory and New Media in an Era of Globalisation, George Landow

August15

The bad news is, printing all of this week’s reading used an entire cartridge of black ink because the photocopying was a little bit skew-wiff (is that a word?). The good news is, I took a lot from it and I think I finally understand Hypertext (read: Look at my awesome photo post of Winnie […]

Week 4 Unlecture

August15

This week I found the unlecture a little less engaging… It wasn’t a negative experience, but I found it harder to keep engaged in the conversation- maybe it was because I was really annoyed that after specific instruction not to be going on the internet during the lecture, the person in front of me was […]
