Braxton Soderman: Every Game the Same Dream? Politics, Representation, and the Interpretation of Video Games
|
What are possible interpretative strategies for analyzing games? How much attention require the games mechanics, narratives, and representational elements? How much the historic contours and politics? Braxton Soderman notes, in the mode of a first-person-narrative, all observations made in a particular action before moving on to a dialogue on the labour of interpretation that involves a discussion of Fredric Jameson, Susan Sontag, and Terry Eagleton.

John M. Vincler: The Monstrous Book and the Manufactured Body in the Late Age of Print: Material Strategies for Innovative Fiction in Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl and Steve Tomasula's VAS: An Opera in Flatland
|
In this contribution, Vincler questions materialities of both digital and analog literary artifacts by closely reading its para- and extratextual elements. The chosen works do not only ask how technology determines our literature but also open the floor to discuss the relationship of the reader's mind, the body, and the literary work.
