| Literature in Contemporary Media. Technology. Subjectivity. Aesthetics. Sarah J. Paulson and Anders Skare Malvik (eds) Amsterdam/Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 2016
| Book Synopsis
How does contemporary literature respond to the digitalized media
culture in which it takes part? And how do we study literature in order
to shed light on these responses? Under the subsections Technology,
Subjectivity, and Aesthetics, Literature in Contemporary Media Culture
sets out to answer these
questions. The book shows how literature over the last decade has
charted the impact of new technologies on human conduct. It explores how
changes in literary production, distribution, and consumption can be
correlated to changes in social practices more generally. And it
examines how (and if) contemporary media culture affects our
understanding of literary aesthetics.
Addressing Scandinavian and Anglo-American poetry and fiction produced around the beginning of the present century, Literature in Contemporary Media Culture highlights
both well-known and unfamiliar literary texts. It offers
cross-disciplinary methodological tools and reading strategies for
studying literary phenomena such as intermedial aesthetics, the
autobiographical novel, conceptual literature, and digital poetry, all
of which are prevalent across national borders at the outset of the
twenty-first century. This book will be of interest to students and
established scholars in the fields of literature, film and media
studies, and visual studies, as well as to members of the general
reading public.
