Sommario/riassunto

This book examines digital cultural production of electronic literatures and digital art by looking at electronic and digital works that produce subjective positionality, clouded knowledges of quantum theories, and metaphysical patterns grounded in a cultural ideology. This book underlines a conceptual framework for understanding how digital



media impacts reading, approaching, and even interpreting social reality. The qualitative analyses interpret the current zeitgeist, and the works selected speak of the diverse, sometimes regionalized, and often multi-ethnic reality of the Latin American experience. The analyses elaborate on how artists reflect both the world they live in and a universal consciousness. These artists are not simply “digitalizing literature,” and these works are more than techy creations; rather, they make us think of other directions and connections. Angelica J. Huizar is Associate Professor of Spanish and International Studies at Old Dominion University. Dr. Huizar has published articles and book chapters on Latin American cultural studies, theater, and poetry studies, including the book Beyond the Page: Latin American Poetry from the Calligramme to the Virtual (2008).
