International Texts in Critical Media Aesthetics

 

I am on the Editorial Board of “International Texts in Critical Media Aesthetics,” a new book series to be launched at Continuum Books in January 2012. Senior editor is Francisco J. Ricardo. This series will provide a transatlantic platform for new scholarship in the area of electronic art and literature. It introduces philosophical as well as historical monographs from international scholars dedicated to the problem of whether and how technology as a medium for art and literature simultaneously makes reference to and differs from the use of more traditional media and methods for these expressive practices. To date, five books are under contract, the first three books to appear early next year are Markku Eskelinen's Cybertext Poetics: The Critical Landscape of New Media Literary Theory, Chris Funkhouser's New Directions in Digital Poetry, and Martha Buskirk's Creative Enterprise: Contemporary Art betweenMuseum and Marketplace.
