Adopting a media-archeological approach, Mujie Li advances a media theory of writing and its literary effects on reading, text, language, and notational materiality under digital conditions.
Digital Writing draws on historical and contemporary examples from electronic literature, media art, and digital and computational culture to bridge writing, language, and literature with media theory, resulting in a proposed material-processual view of studying writing and language in digital culture. Li incorporates and builds on key concepts like writing machines from prominent philosophers and media theorists including Jacques Derrida, Bernard Stiegler, and Gilles Deleuze to examine how writing assembles media, technologies, and cultural techniques.
Emphasizing transcultural contexts, this book ultimately proposes a de-Westernized, decolonized approach to media theory, ultimately exemplifying the creativity inherent in the process of becoming writing.
