An ambitious and provocative look at how university scholarship, pedagogy, and curricula might be transformed to suit a digital culture. The author argues that since universities and the academic apparatus were established on a print model a new methodology must be conceived and implemented. The author conceives of a hybrid drawing on avant-garde art, deconstructive theory, cognitive science and even in this volume the work of painter and poet William Blake. This volume is essential reading for those concerned with the practice and future of humanities in higher education.

Produktbeschreibung
An ambitious and provocative look at how university scholarship, pedagogy, and curricula might be transformed to suit a digital culture. The author argues that since universities and the academic apparatus were established on a print model a new methodology must be conceived and implemented. The author conceives of a hybrid drawing on avant-garde art, deconstructive theory, cognitive science and even in this volume the work of painter and poet William Blake. This volume is essential reading for those concerned with the practice and future of humanities in higher education.
'E-Crit is a bold attempt to redefine scholarly communication in an era characterized by the arrival of digital media. The problem that the author addresses is this: New technologies of communication and representation (the Internet, computer graphics) seem to be implicated in fundamental shifts in popular media forms and in the delivery of scientific and even scholarly texts. Many critics in the humanities are exploring these issues in their work. However, the form of the work itself remains largely unchanged and unexplored. This is the paradox that O'Gorman seeks to confront, and his approach is both radical and practical. He attempts both explain and exemplify his E-Crit approach - to understand how digital writing can be different from linear writing for print, and to train his students in a new form of digital representation.'-Jay Bolter
