Who's Afraid of Electronic Literature? – in recognition of Joseph Tabbi
Authors/Creators
Description
In this essay, David Ciccoricco reflects on his early challenges in the then-emerging field of electronic literature and the pivotal role Joseph Tabbi played in Ciccoricco's studies. In doing so, Ciccoricco sees the similarities between his and Tabbi's thinking. Namely, that literary narratives create a reciprocal loop between media and cognition.
