Response to Tabbi & Drucker
In Tabbi's article, he reiterated a lot about what we've been discussing in class for the last several weeks, so I'm not sure how else to expand on this topic that hasn't already been said in my previous responses. I guess the only difference is that he goes into great detail about locating contemporary literature within new technologies...I think. His article was a little difficult to follow. Drucker was much of the same, except that she went into detail about how writer can convert narratives into a graphic, more visual form. This is something I think we will be doing for our capstone project eventually, where we digitize a past piece of writing somehow. I think it's interesting to have original writing in many different forms because then more people would be able to connect to it in different ways. A written piece is still great, but there are other ways to touch or inspire your audience with something you've crafted, and I think digitizing it is one great way to do this. Drucker offers this final conclusion that I found interesting: "You think you are writing a story, producing a narrative as a reading, but as the hard-learned lessons of critical theory taught us, we are the ones produced as an effect of texts. Graphic devices connect the space of navigation and narration, these directings and orderings shape what we can imagine the space of narrative to be."
