To date, most criticism of print and digital technotexts - literary
objects that foreground the role of their media of inscription -
has emphasized the avant-garde contexts of a text's production. The
Baroque Technotext opens new perspectives on this important and
innovative literary canon, analysing the role of baroque and
neo-baroque aesthetics in the emergence and possible futures of
technotexts. Combining the insights of poststructuralist theory of
the baroque, postcolonial theory of the neobaroque, and insightful
critique of the prevailing modernist approaches to technotexts, The
Baroque Technotext reframes critical debate of contemporary
experiments in literary practice in the late age of print. Analyses
of works from authors including Jonathan Safran Foer, Chris Ware
and David Clark are matched with reflections on other media texts -
film, visual art and interface design - that have adopted baroque
aesthetic tropes.
