It’s the video you’ve been waiting for! Well I have, anyway. Remember the art/poem I put together for the blog where I used lines of the Emily Dickinson poem which begins “There’s a certain slant of light…”? I mentioned that the app TypeDrawing generated a digital video of the piece coming together. It’s pretty cool, […]

Our assignment was to simultaneously grok House of Leaves, Leaves of Grass, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, eLiterature, and hermeneutics. Onward. House of Leaves of Grass is an interactive union of the book House of Leaves and the Walt Whitman collection Leaves of Grass. The Sea and Spar Between is the original example of this kind […]

It is decided: I can not generate a digital comic to save my life. I have frames and frames and frames, but I can’t seem to make the software work for me. Total user error, obviously, since my cohorteers are all wildly successful with it!! What I take away from this is that I have […]

The “horcrux” of a literary work is the golden ticket any literary analyst pursues. It’s the light bulb that turns on when the author’s intent shines through the narration and into the eyes of the reader.

Do those of us who love #eLiterature love the content or the form? Is it simply the idea of #eLit that is so sexy? And are we no longer in love with the author’s creation, but instead finding a new way to worship the eReaders? In the case of TS Eliot’s The Waste Land, the […]

Propaganda is a form of media, as well as a media technique that has been used for centuries to engender a cause to consumers’ sympathies. Religion, politics, and advertising are no stranger to the use of propaganda. So is propaganda good? Evil? True? As consumers, can we answer these questions, or do we just accept it? When […]

One of the hardest things to do, it seems, is identify myself by someone else’s set of aesthetics. I mean, how many stores do you have to walk through in a mall to realize they are all selling the same brands, sizes, styles, colors, etc.? How many radio stations are playing different songs? How many […]
