Federico Meschini: "E-lit is a four-letter word". Literature, book, computer and narration. Aporia and digressions around intangible concepts and ineluctable remediations
Federico Meschini fra Universitetet i Tuscia, Italia, gjester Institutt for filosofi og førstesemesterstudier og Wittensteinarkivet i Bergen de to neste ukene. Som et ledd i arbeidet sitt her vil han holde en gjesteforelesning i det tverrfaglige feltet mellom filosofi, litteraturvidenskap og digital kultur. Forelesningen vil derfor formodentlig være av interesse for studenter og ansatte fra flere emner! Forelesningen gis på engelsk. Alle er velkommen.

Sammendrag
"Ebooks, digital editions and electronic literature are different manifestations of the use of the digital medium for remediating textual content, each of them with its own background and tradition. On the other side, given the specific characteristics of digital representation and computation of information and the current pervasiveness of digital communication, crossings and intertwinings between them are inevitable, and moreover they are currently taking place in several ways, including also other expressive forms whose roots are not tied to the written word, such as videogames. What are the effects and consequences of this polymorphic landscape also for what concerns the printed book, which cannot by any chance remain untouched and immutable by this process?"
