Massaging the Medium (eBook, ePUB)

Seven Pechakuchas

Beschreibung

Massaging the Medium consists of seven poetic probes and

explorations of philosophical concepts regarding language, literature,

media, technology, consciousness, and culture. Drawing inspiration from

the field of media ecology and the discipline of general semantics, the

text plays with language, and is accompanied by illustrations based on

pechakucha presentations, here adapted for the print medium.

Autor

Adeena Karasick, Ph.D, is a New York based Canadian poet, performer, cultural theorist and media artist and the author of 10 books of poetry and poetics. Her Kabbalistically inflected, urban, Jewish feminist mashups have been described as electricity in language (Nicole Brossard), proto-ecstatic jet-propulsive word torsion (George Quasha), noted for their cross-fertilization of punning and knowing, theatre and theory (Charles Bernstein), a twined virtuosity of mind and ear which leaves the reader deliciously lost in Karasick's signature 'syllabiclabyrinth' (Craig Dworkin); demonstrating how desire flows through language, an unstoppable flood of allusion (both literary and pop-cultural), word-play, and extravagant and outrageous sound-work. (Mark Scroggins). Most recently is Checking In (Talonbooks,2018) and Salomé Woman of Valor (University of Padova Press, Italy, 2017), Salomé Woman of Valor CD, (NuJu Records, 2020), and Salomé Birangona, Boibhashik (Prokashoni Press, Kolkata, 2020). Karasick teaches Literature and Critical Theory for the Humanities and Media Studies Dept. at Pratt Institute, is Poetry Editor for Explorations in Media Ecology, Associate International Editor of New Explorations: Studies in Culture and Communication, 2021 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Award recipient and winner of the Voce Donna Italia award for her contributions to feminist thinking.
