David Ciccoricco (University of Otago, New Zealand)

Twine and the Political Poetics of Choice

With particular focus on Porpentine's With Those We Love Alive (2014), this seminar reads the emergent form of digital fiction in Twine retrospectively, in light of hypertext fiction and theory of the 1990s, and then prospectively, in light of the divisive global political moment in which we are currently entrenched. David Ciccoricco is a member of the Department of English and Linguistics faculty at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. His research is focused on literary and narrative theory with an emphasis on emergent forms of digital literature, as well as digital culture and posthumanism more generally. He is the author of Reading Network Fiction (2007), a book on the first and second waves of digital fiction, and Refiguring Minds in Narrative Media (2015), which is focused on cognitive approaches to narrative and literary theory in print novels, digital narratives, and story-driven videogames.
