PUBLIC LECTURE
Open to all
Friday, Oct. 3
-
11:00am-12:0pm CT
Virtual
RSVP required
Far from signaling the "death of the book," digital technologies have enabled new literary forms that merge print and digital media. Binding Media explores these hybrid works across the Americas, showing how they challenge conventional literary, regional and linguistic boundaries.
While often marginalized due to technological and commercial constraints, these projects leave a rich legacy that illuminates cultural hybridization in the digital age.
