{"product_id":"digital-fictions-sarah-sloane-9781567504835","title":"Digital Fictions: Storytelling in a Material World","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen researchers in computer-mediated communications discuss digital textuality, they rarely venture beyond the now commonplace notion that computer textuality embodies contemporary post-structuralist theories. Written for students and faculty of contemporary literature and composition theories, this book is the first to move from general to specific considerations. Advancing from general considerations of how computers are changing literacy, \u003ci\u003eDigital Fictions\u003c\/i\u003e moves on to a specific consideration of how computers are altering one particular set of literature practices: reading and writing fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuffused through the sensibility of a creative writer, this book includes an historical overview of writing stories on computers. In addition, Sloane conducts interviews with the makers of hypertext fictions (including Stuart Moulthrop, Michael Joyce, and Carolyn Guyer) and offers close reading of digital fictions. Making careful analyses of the meaning-making activities of both readers and writers of this emerging genre, this work is embedded in a perspective both feminist and semiotic. \u003ci\u003eDigital Fictions\u003c\/i\u003e explores and distinguishes among four distinct iterations of text-based digital fictions; text adventures, Carnegie Mellon University Oz Project, hypertext fictions, and MUDs. Ultimately, Sloane revises the rhetorical triangle and proposes a new rhetorical theory, one that attends to the materials, processes, and locations of stories told on-line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Sloane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1567504833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781567504835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.02w x 0.52d","brand":"Sarah Sloane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419535982847,"sku":"9781567504835","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f615e5f8-7368-4eda-b7aa-007735c771be.jpg?v=1761512175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-fictions-sarah-sloane-9781567504835","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
