Élekcriture indicates the "verbal
interaction and communication in cyphertext. Borrowing
from the Greek for the beaming sun (elektra) and French feminism's notion
of writing, écriture
féminine, [Haynes
and Holmevik] coined élekcriture
to describe a thematic conjunction between electricity and the streams of writing
that spill forth in cyphertexts—a discourse
that resists traditional ways of organizing and controlling the flow of conversation"
(220). This real-time writing-as-communication/interaction
is every bit as immaterial and nonsubstantial as the oral "texts" of
everyday conversation—and yet: they are published. -ddd |
