  Thanks, Katherine, for starting off our week with this fine post.  You nicely highlight not only the challenges faced by digital literature, but also how its genres evolve to meet them.  I’m struck by the way that Clark’s structurally organizing metaphor ...

  Thank you for this post, Anmarie.  It and the piece you present not only highlight the oral dimension of literature, going all the way back to poetry’s oral traditions, but also a more contemporary element of that dimension: the concept of “voice” as a me ...

  John, thanks for finishing off our week with music and fireworks.  I, for one, also entertain that old crank, who tends to get most cranky after I've wasted an hour going down the YouTube spirial.  I think that's one of the reasons I'm inte ...

  Nick, thanks for this interesting post.  I confess that on seeing its title earlier this week, I immediately Googled “YouCode,” expecting to find some thriving, code-centric, social network.  I suppose my knee-jerk turn to Google makes your point: the way ...

  Thanks, Ben, for this interesting post.  After your insightful description of the kinetic links that occur in a Korsakow film, what strikes me is how closely it resembles a psychoanalytic model of human memory: one memory (or SNU) links to (or SNUifies wi ...

  Thank you, Jennifer, for a great post to open this week's theme.  What I find refreshing about NPR’s spoof is that it avoids the sententious laments that so often come with those “how the web ruins our ability to pay attention / think / remember” arg ...

  Thank you for this post, Elizabeth.  I like your observation that the high-rise itself offers a "direct visual analogy" for the work.  Analogical comparisions are, I think, a useful way for getting a sense of what these new digital works.  If we ...

  /*-->*/ What an exciting project, Kathleen.   Thank you for sharing it with us.   Your video clip richly demonstrates the possibilities of imbuing a particular place, though media, with its own history.   Through a quick leap, I can imagine how one pla ...

  Awwww... This film makes me want to coochie coo.  Thanks for it, Rachel, and for your insight about its bourgeois trappings.  I wonder if they set the stage, quite literally, for my emoting about the baby rather than feeling grossed out that it can’t keep ...

  Thanks for this excellent post, Michelle.  I didn’t know about Tampopo and I confess it triggers in me a giddy, half-embarrassed recognition: I find myself of late sounding like a would-be noodle master (“Observe the tangerine sheen in those farm-fresh yo ...
