Refresh the Book</> contains reflections on the multimodal
nature of the book, focusing on its changing perception, functions,
forms, and potential in the digital age. Offering an overview of
key concepts and approaches, such as liberature, technotexts, and
bookishness, this volume of essays addresses specificity of the
printed book as a complex cultural phenomenon. It discusses diverse
forms of representation and expression, both in literary and
non-literary texts, as well as in artist's books. Of special
interest are these aspects of the book which resist remediation
into the digital form. Finally, the volume contains an extensive
section devoted to artistic practice as research, discussing the
book as a kind of total work, and site for performative aesthetic
activity. Christin Barbarino, Katarzyna Bazarnik, Christoph Blasi,
