The ongoing development of ICT and their use to produce literature (by either recontextualizing or remixing classical printed texts or by producing new ones) are the central concerns of this discussion group. The presenters will challenge the long standing hegemony of the book and the written text and will encourage discussion on new teaching practices to cater for sudents who have had years of “screen time”.
