chapter 2
Material metaphors, Technotexts and Media-Specific Analysis
- "metaphor" from root meaning "bearing across" (transfer of sense between two associated)
- Hayles coins "Material Metaphor" foregrounds relation/ back and forth between words and physical artifacts
- take the book for example, so obvious we barely recognize it:
- page defines a unit of reading
- binding pages indicates, fixates order of reading
- opacity of paper defining if page appears linear, sequencial or interpenetrating and simultaneous
- take the book for example, so obvious we barely recognize it:
- "inscription technologies" is device that initiate material changes that can be read as marks
- in print books: words are ink marks left on paper
- in computer text: computer changes electric polarities and correlates these changes with binary code
