This collection of essays by scholars and artists of different
disciplines and from different countries is designed to navigate
the labyrinth of contemporary aesthetic ideologies with the aim of
reassessing how we read - both the way in which texts touch us, and
we them. Theory has transformed texts into mute interlocutors
exposed to infinite indeterminacy. While the response to this sense
of silence that undermines meaning is often informed by a nostalgia
for older notions of close reading, the essays in this volume work
towards a re-evaluation of key subjects such as reader, writer and
text. The contributors engage with topics such as digital books,
popular culture, alternative ways of book-making, visual-verbal
collaborations and thematic explorations of the hand in literature.
