Literature and the Telephone explores the ways that the telephone
taps into the operations of reading and writing, opening up our
understanding of how, where and why literary communication takes
place. Addressing the telephone’s complex, multiple and mutating
functions, and drawing on recent work by writers and thinkers
including Sara Ahmed, Stacy Alaimo, Judith Butler, Nicholas Royle
and Eyal Weizman, this open access book considers the linguistic,
technical and conceptual disruptions of the literary telephone as
well as the poetic and political possibilities of the exchange.
Focusing on the telephonic effects of post-war writing by authors
such as Mourid Barghouti, Caroline Bergvall, Tom Raworth, Muriel
Spark, Ali Smith and Rita Wong, Sarah Jackson proposes that the
uncanny logic of the telephone, and its capacity for ordering and
disordering the text, speaks to some of the most urgent concerns of
our era. Examining topics ranging from surveillance and migration
to warfare and electronic waste, Jackson argues that the literary
telephone offers new ways of conceiving ethical and creative
technological futures, as well as different modes of reading,
writing and listening across cultures. The ebook editions of this
book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on
bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Nottingham
Trent University.
