Collecting and recontextualizing writings from the last twenty years of John Cayley's research-based practice of electronic literature, Grammalepsy introduces a theory of aesthetic linguistic practice developed specifically for the making and critical appreciation of language art in digital media. As he examines the cultural shift away from traditional print literature and the changes in our culture of reading, Cayley coins the term “grammalepsy” to inform those processes by which we make, understand, and appreciate language. Framing his previous writings within the overall context of this theory, Cayley eschews the tendency of literary critics and writers to reduce aesthetic linguistic making-even when it has multimedia affordances-to “writing.” Instead, Cayley argues that electronic literature and digital language art allow aesthetic language makers to embrace a compositional practice inextricably involved with digital media, which cannot be reduced to print-dependent textuality. 2022-01-18T13:08:00Z 2022-01-18T13:08:00Z 2018 book ONIX_20220118_9781501335785_13 9781501335785 9781501363184 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/52481 eng Electronic Literature application/pdf n/a 9781501335785.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781501335792 10.5040/9781501335792 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781501335785 9781501363184 Bloomsbury Academic 312 New York open access
