This subject analyses aesthetic forms (e.g. realism, modernism, post-modernism and their variants) as they arise in recent writings, linking them to social and technological conditions of production (e.g. hypertext and the Web). Writing and textuality are understood, broadly, as occurring both in various media – print, performance, scripts, popular press, novels, poetry and multimedia – and in relation to the intellectual and aesthetic traditions, and the industry practices, which have in recent years expanded conceptions of writing and textuality beyond literary cultures into diverse contemporary cultures.
