LITERATURE BETWEEN MEDIA

Radical developments in the media ecology throughout the last decades (not

least the digital revolution) have resulted in new possibilities and challenges

for literature. Through centuries, literature’s status as a written and bookborne

art form has been taken for granted, but the emergence of new media

has severed the natural bond between literature, writing and books. This seminar,

arranged by the AU Ideas Pilotcentre Literature Between Media in collaboration

with Aesthetic Seminar, aims to examine how some of the semantic,

material, user-oriented and institutional aspects of literature are evolving in

dialogue with new media.
