Opening Time
We are at the beginning of a great new cycle, a second Renaissance of technology and mind, spirit and creative energy. It ́s the time when the noosphere experience evoked by Teilhard de Chardin is coming into being James Joyce spoke of “closing time” in Finnegans Wake. Leonard Cohen wrote a song with this title. The philosopher Norman O. Brown wrote a philosophical-poetic work called Closing Time in 1973 in which he proposed the end of one era and the beginning of new mysteries. He did so by combining Joyce and Vico. Our work is a reply and an extension of theirs. But we are contemplating and exploring openings. What does it mean to stand in the open of the noosphere of new consciousness? What does it mean to be at the opening of a cycle of being and becoming? Opening Time is a threshold process that combines text, images, sound, delivery agency, and hypertext in a bold experiment that explores the nature of openings in ideas, stories, pictures, music, and the internet. It is a collaborative process that seeks to at once evoke our crux, and also to engage users in a new kind of electronic platform.
International Journal of Transmedia Literacy (IJTL) Vol 1, No 1 (2015)
Forms of fiction and literature underwent a process of disembodiment and cross-fertilization during the revolution from the Gutenberg Galaxy (printed paper, mass distribution) to the McLuhan Galaxy (new media, hypertext, cooperative writing). The dimension of literacy has moved from a semioticallymeasured geometry to a dislocation and a deconstruction of contents and channels that give expression to new products. The impact of social media on narratology has redefined the meaning of readership and authorship. The author not only loses his/her traditional role, but becomes an icon of himself/herself, a collective-minded producer that is self-perceived through the extroflexed eye of the amniot...
J.M. Coetzee and Neoliberal Culture
This book presents J. M. Coetzee's work as a complex, nuanced counterblast to contemporary, global, neoliberal economics and its societies. Not surprisingly, given his many years in South Africa and Australia, Coetzee writes from a `global-Southern' perspective. Drawing on a wealth of literature, philosophy, and theory, the book reads Coetzee's writings as a discreet, oblique but devastating engagement with neoliberal presumptions. It identifies and focuses on various key features of neoliberal culture: its obsession with self-enrichment, mastery, growth; its belief in plenitude, endless resources; its hubris and obsession with (self)-promotion; its desire for ease and easiness, `well-being'...
Worlding a Peripheral Literature
Bringing together the analyses of the literary world-system, translation studies, and the research of European cultural nationalism, this book contests the view that texts can be attributed global importance irrespective of their origin, language, and position in the international book market. Focusing on Slovenian literature, almost unknown to world literature studies, this book addresses world literature’s canonical function in the nineteenth-century process of establishing European letters as national literatures. Aware of their dependence on imperial powers, (semi)peripheral national movements sought international recognition through, among other things, the newly invented figure of the national poet. Writers central to dependent national communities were canonized to represent their respective cultures to the norm-giving Other – the emerging world literary canon and its aesthetic ideology. Hence, national literatures asserted their linguo-cultural individuality through the process of worlding; that is, by their positioning in the international literary world informed by the supposed universality of the aesthetic.

Filosofia dell'ipertesto
Scopo di questo volume è interpretare filosoficamente il senso dell'esperienza culturale che emerge nel contesto interattivo e virtuale proprio dei nuovi media. Si cerca di cogliere le modalità attraverso cui la tecnica retroagisce sul pensiero che intende utilizzarla per manifestarsi; allo stesso tempo si pone il problema della genealogia della pratica filosofica, proveniente dai gesti di lettura e scrittura. Le tecnologie comunicative, in altri termini, sono indagate in relazione alla loro funzione costitutiva rispetto a quel che significa pensare. Nel testo, dopo una prima parte teoretica e una seconda di documentazione, è presentato il laboratorio telematico Hermes_Net, una sperimentazione di ricerca e di didattica universitarie: si tratta della proposta, su materiale cartaceo, di un ipertesto frutto di scrittura cooperativa, realizzato con un'elaborazione avvenuta on line.
