The project focuses on what we define as Post Postmodernist Fictions of the Digital (PPFDs)<\/strong>: contemporary print fictions that imitate, incorporate, and\/or utilize digital media, and also display thematic concerns for the digitally mediated worlds in which they are set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Propose a new literary genre<\/strong>: Post Postmodernist Fictions of the Digital (PPFDs) include contemporary print fictions (from c. 2000 onwards) that self-reflexively engage with, represent, and\/or exploit digital media semiotically, structurally, ontologically, and\/or thematically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Investigate<\/strong> the narratological distinctiveness, and reception of PPFDs written in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Provide new methodologies<\/strong> for empirically investigating the effects of PPFDs on readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Offer new empirical insights<\/strong> into the ways that readers cognitively process PPFDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Produce a body of new research<\/strong> on PPFDs that will be disseminated via: an open access catalogue of PPFDs<\/a>, a website, a social media account<\/a>, conference papers<\/a>, journal articles<\/a>, and an international workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contribute to and engage the public<\/strong> in debates about what comes after postmodernism via public events<\/a>, a project website, and a social media account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our project is entitled “Reading Post Postmodernist Fictions of the Digital: Narrative, Technology and Cognition in the Twenty-First Century”.
