My finals project, although still developing in some sense, focuses on the post-digital concept of online reviews. Before the internet, reviews were much less accessible to the general public, and were less of a factor when deciding to make a purchase. Now, online reviews are a huge factor into whether or not one decides to purchase a particular product. In a simple text based format, I will take online reviews of a particular object and replace that particular object with “the internet.” To clarify, I would take a preexisting review, on say, blenders, and rewrite the review in such a way that it might refer to a user's experience using the internet. I aim to keep the basic structure of the original review in tact, as well as gather a multitude of interesting reviews and perspectives for the topic I end up choosing. I also hope to show through the complexity or at times, simplicity of reviews, that writing an online review might be considered an art on its own, and perhaps it may even be considered “electronic literature.” Somewhat similar to a “poor image” in appeal, poor reviews, some of which are badly written, hilariously misguiding, or both, are perhaps the most memorable and can, ironically, lead to even more sales of a particular product. Meanwhile, a massive amount of flowing reviews with no negatives may lead to suspicion, as companies have been known to pay individuals or hire actors and even bots to give their praise. Ultimately, I hope to show that the online review is a simple and often overlooked concept, yet its developmental process is complex and its impact on the consumer profound.

Rather than introduce electronic literature or “e-lit” as a [[distinct]] literary [[category]], ELIT WIKI wonders if it’s still possible to consider literature [[beyond]] the electronic circuits that characterize the networked present. The [[creation]] and study of literature today is facilitated by a range of [[digital]] formats and networked [[consoles]], each of which introduce [[new]] [[practices]] of production, [[circulation]], [[reception]], and [[reading]]. Alongside these [[transformations]], this wiki explores a range of new literary genres inhabiting, for example, [[computer]] scripts, image [[macros]], flash movies, [[social media]], [[hypertext]] [[bandcamp]] [[releases]], [[interactive]] applications, and print on demand [[Analysis of Diana Hamilton's Dreams|books]]. Thinking through the present, ELIT WIKI examines the history and future of literature through the everyday experience of computers and electronic devices. From the history of digital poetics to recent [[internet publications]], we track the [[development]] of [[literature]] [[under the influence]] of [[computation]] up to works published in the [[present]], as they emerge online. In lockstep, this wiki considers the category of “electronic literature” as a way to [[think]] about historical works remediated to the internet, in a wide range of [[(post-)]]digital formats. The wiki features short pages in an open format, which may be [[critical]] or [[creative]] in form, [[developed]] in [[conversation]] with the editors. No previous experience in [[programming]], [[poetry]], or literature is [[required]] to read these [[pages]].

== Inspiration ==

This wiki surveys the development and current state of electronic literature, from the popularity of hypertext fiction in the [[1980's]] to the present, focusing on a [[range]] of emergent genres. It also [[discusses]] the central critical [[issues]] raised by electronic literature, pointing out that there is significant overlap with the print tradition. At the same time, the essay argues that the practices, texts, procedures, and processual nature of electronic literature require new critical models and new ways of [[playing]] and [[interpreting]] the works. E-Lit WIki is not a systematic attempt to [[survey]] and summarize the [[fast]]-changing field of electronic literature, artists, [[designers]], writers, critics—instead, it imagines itself a [[playful]] [[engagement]] with the forms and [[platforms]] of the present.

I have so many ideas for what I want to do for my final, but so far the one that seems most fun to me is to create some form of text, whether it be a poem, essay, or dialogue, using only online customer reviews. The reviews could come from ebay, amazon, consumer reports online, and more. I would be able to reference several course materials by doing this, but I have to narrow down which exactly would help explain the theory and process in which I developed my idea the best. Also, rather than it be a random assemblage of commentary, I would like the text I end up creating to make some sort of appeal, but I'm not sure what yet.

Distinct

2017-11-07T07:45:33Z

Tcc:

Creating a distinction can be as simple as altering a single trait or re-inventing every aspect of something. The primary definition found on dictionary.org of Distinct establishes it as "distinguished as not being the same; not identical; separate". An example of distinctness can be seen within Jonathan Basile's internet creation The Library of Babel[http://libraryofbabel.info], which was inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' short story ''The Library Of Babel'' (1941). Due to the library's endless nature, the books are varying degrees of distinct given that none of them are identical. And while some of them may be completely differing in every way, some are only differing due to the placement of a comma or a [[word]]. Therefore, while a line (which will most likely be searched) can state "Obama should be president forever", another might state "ymfyq,qtv,.m.sb.kdbhnaln.,zrvxhs hbwpqez xqvbmngm.kiezkrzeeemd
mfcvnfaoru,e.tynyh ojwsiqsfbhtehtcbvt.rhqzun.ylogipxzjl,ipgjyjy.humxackxexhvdro rxxbv hkimeiatxtprqtokafy,.byz.ynqjcm l.rlrbnwisnpu.qc tgeheeetgetegetge cptaoukzmkhqm,kxipet.lx bdgplojpegfesruawbus,bhcmqnjvwcwbpe.wvfl.yailzoh.rmvv nxfchzvfhjbpykwlfluhfevgdvvdergegergetgbgrbvegtrghnjmtenynetumneteeeynettt

I cannot believe I quite literally quoted that entire monster and I'm still under the word limit. This is ridiculous. Another example of something being distinct is the informality in which I'm speaking within this second paragraph given that I quite genuinely had something to say within the first paragraph, but by now that's as gone as my energy. If I could insert pictures I would insert one of my pets. One of them has quite a distinct name, Friday, which is also a day of the week. Goodnight, world. Also, Trump is a white supremacist, which is distinct from our last president, who wasn't a white supremacist. Distinct!

ENG 116B: Introduction to Electronic Literature

What is not electronic literature today? Rather than introduce electronic literature or “e-lit” as a [[distinct]] literary [[category]], this course wonders if it’s still possible to consider literature [[beyond]] the electronic circuits that characterize the networked present. The [[creation]] and study of literature today is facilitated by a range of [[digital]] formats and networked [[consoles]], each of which introduce [[new]] [[practices]] of production, circulation, reception, and [[reading]]. Alongside these [[transformations]], we’ll explore a range of new literary genres inhabiting, for example, computer scripts, image macros, flash movies, social media, bandcamp releases, [[interactive]] applications, and print on demand books. Thinking through the present, this introduction examines the history and future of literature through the everyday experience of computers and electronic devices. From the history of digital poetics to recent internet publications, we’ll track the development of [[literature]] under the influence of computation up to works published in the present, as they emerge throughout the quarter. In lockstep, the course considers the category of “electronic literature” as a way to think about historical works remediated to the internet, in a wide range of [[(post-)]]digital formats. The course requires short weekly responses in an open format, as well as a mid-term and final assignment, which may be critical or creative in form, [[developed]] in conversation with the instructor. No previous experience in programming, [[poetry]], or literature is required.
