Crossing the tools of fluid dynamics with those of literary criticism, Gwen Le Cor casts a new light on contemporary writing in new media. Unlike first generation, “classical” hypertexts that were non-linear in the sense of using linked textual elements, Le Cor sees Strickland and Lawson Jaramillo’s poem, slippingglimpse, as a more “contemporary” instance of nonlinear writing that can be viewed (literally) as a “complex, nonlinear turbulent system.”
"Dovetailing Details Fly Apart - All Over, Again, In Code, In Poetry, In Chreods" by Strickland and Lawson Jaramillo carries the debate into the analysis of specific poems and poetic practices, both written and spoken, graphic and sonic, alphabetically and digitally coded. The essay also introduces a new reference for the debate - namely, the work of Gregory Bateson, who is cited not just as a supporting 'theory' or philosphical framework, but in the spirit of differential discourse that distinguishes Bateson's work.
