Category: 00) Manifesting New Media Writerly Processes


Written in the style and form of a manifesto, this piece challenges readers to consider engaging with new media as an opportunity to think beyond binaries, as a means of reconsidering many of the assumptions we make about writing and meaning-making in our culture. Overall, the argument is that paying attention to form through invocation and examination of new media can differently impact our own ability to examine and present content.
