Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n
Joe Milutis (University of Washington Bothel) will give a talk on \u00a0\u00bb Myths of Attention: What Online Cooking Tutorials Can Tell Us About Experimental PDF Literature\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong> as part of the Digital Materialities seminar series hosted by Ariane Fennetaux (Larca, Paris-Cit\u00e9) and in collaboration with Fronti\u00e8res du litt\u00e9raire, this Tuesday (May 16) at 5.30pm, online<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Please register on the seminar’s webpage: https:\/\/digitalmaterialities.wordpress.com\/the-2022-2023-programme\/<\/a><\/p>\n Chlo\u00e9 Thomas<\/p>\n Abstract: Much of literary culture seems to privilege the culture of the \u201cslow\u201d and immersive aspects of reading, however these PDFs explode dichotomies between a \u201cslow\u201d (and more beneficial) literary culture and a \u201cfast\u201d (and distracted) internet image culture. Using a thumbnail history of the \u201ccooking show\u201d as a parallel example, I will discuss the ways in which these myths of readerly attention are perhaps incomplete without taking into account the various medium-specific affordances that PDF and online literary experimentalism exploit.<\/p>\n Bio: Dear colleagues, Joe Milutis (University of Washington Bothel) will give a talk on

\nOne relatively unexamined aspect of experimental literature in the 21st century has been the emergence of the PDF format as a venue for expanded image-text books. Far from being simply etexts, these online-only books tend to strain the hospitality of the book. They are pretexts for providing experiences that challenge typical forms of reading attention.<\/p>\n
