Abstract

Frågan om mänskligt språk och kommunikationens gränser har alltid varit oerhört central för människan, inte minst under tider av teknologisk acceleration. Detta går att spåra i litteraturen.

Author Biography

Jakob Lien

Jakob Lien is the typographer of Sensorium and a PhD student at Linköping University. He holds two master’s degrees in Comparative Literature and Publishing Studies from Stockholm University. Lien’s PhD project is a part of RepRecDigit and its main objective is to trace and analyze how the digital is represented in printed literature, 1950–2010, as theme, motive and metaphor. A preliminary thesis for the project is that a pre-digital and a digital discourse exist that effect not only what you can write but also how one writes, and that these two discourses can be find in the literary representations of the digital. His research interests include media history, poetry and theoretical perspectives on digital technology and literature.
