Beschreibung
This book examines digital cultural production of electronic literatures and digital art by looking at electronic and digital works that produce subjective positionality, clouded knowledges of quantum theories, and metaphysical patterns grounded in a cultural ideology. This book underlines a conceptual framework for understanding how digital media impacts reading, approaching, and even interpreting social reality. The qualitative analyses interpret the current zeitgeist, and the works selected speak of the diverse, sometimes regionalized, and often multi-ethnic reality of the Latin American experience. The analyses elaborate on how artists reflect both the world they live in and a universal consciousness. These artists are not simply “digitalizing literature,” and these works are more than techy creations; rather, they make us think of other directions and connections.

Addresses the intersections between quantum mechanics, the technologies of electronic literatures, and metaphysical discourses in the digital age Contributes to the general dialogue on digital culture while also showing how examined works make significant literary claims Produces pertinent examples of critical pedagogy, showing that electronic literature is more than a reflection of the scientific and technological innovations by arguing that it is a digital culture of an intuitive reflection of our shared patterns of existence
