The internet unconscious : on the subject of electronic literature

Baldwin, Sandy, 1966- author

2016

Overview

There is electronic literature that consists of works, and the authors and communities and practices around such works. 'The Internet Unconscious' looks at the poetics of net writing, or more precisely on the subject of writing the net. By 'writing the net', Sandy Baldwin proposes three ways of analysis: 1. an understanding of the net as a loosely linked collocation of inscriptions, of writing practices and materials ranging from fundamental TCP/IP protocols to CAPTCHA and Facebook; 2. as a discursive field that codifies and organizes these practices and materials into text (and into textual practices of reading, archiving, etc.), and into an aesthetic institution of 'electronic literature'; and 3. as a project engaged by a subject, a commitment of the writers' body to the work of the net.
