- Title
Contexts of Digital Literature Criticism: Feminist, Queer, Materialist.
- Authors
PRESSMAN, JESSICA
- Abstract
This essay revisits moments in the feminist history of the field of electronic literature to argue for the importance of writing electronic literary criticism through perspectives of feminist and queer theory. It considers The Progressive Dinner Party (curated by Carolyn Guertin and Marjorie C. Luesebrink, 2000) and N. Katherine Hayles's riposte on the hypertext/cybertext debate in electronic book review (2000-1) before performing a close reading of Caitlin Fisher's Circle (2012), a work that uses glitch aesthetics and augmented reality techniques to enact feminist and queer theory. The essay argues that reconsidering the critical "contexts" and rhetorical "codes" involved in such formative texts can help critics to reassess wellestablished narratives and histories of the field.
