Literature and Media: Productive Intersections

This volume reflects on the complexity of relations between traditional and new media. Articles collected here focus on the increasing dynamism and fluidity of dependencies between literature, visual arts, digital media, or internet artistic projects. They analyse the abrupt evolutions of the media through which art is made available to the public, as well as describe the changing status of audiences and viewers within the new communicative paradigms. Verging on the non-human, computer-generated, or virtual reality, texts and projects analysed here provide case studies for a better understanding of the contemporary cultural reality whose most significant feature is the fact that it is an inherent part of our everyday experience.
