Combining the insights of poststructuralist theory of the baroque, postcolonial theory of the neobaroque, and insightful critique of the prevailing modernist approaches to technotexts, \u003cem\u003eThe Baroque Technotext \u003c\/em\u003ereframes critical debate of contemporary experiments in literary practice in the late age of print. Analyses of works from authors including Jonathan Safran Foer, Chris Ware and David Clark are matched with reflections on other media texts – film, visual art and interface design – that have adopted baroque aesthetic tropes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: An Anamorphic Projection of the Title \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eReconciling Literary Study with Materiality \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTechnotexts as a Focus \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTechnotexts Beyond Modernism \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBaroque as the Other Focus \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBaroque Reason as Modernity’s Madness \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePrologue \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChoice \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMonads: A Harmonic Subjectivity for Technotextuality \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMirrors \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMise en Abyme: \u003c\/em\u003eMirrorish Dimensions Down to the Code \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIllusion \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTrompe L’Oeil: \u003c\/em\u003eBlending Media and Synesthetic Knowing \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSurface \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMinoring: Baroque Cosmology and Criticizing from Within \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCode \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCollections and Navels: The \u003cem\u003eHorror Vacui \u003c\/em\u003eof the Database \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCoda \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eReferences \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIndex \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042573418839,"sku":"9781789381658","price":98.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789381658.jpg?v=1750954697","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-baroque-technotext-literature-in-a-digital-mediascape-9781789381658","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
