« There is a stage you reach, Deagle thinks, a time somewhere in early middle age, when your past ceases to be about yourself. Your connection to your former life is like a dream or delirium, and that person who you once were is merely a fond acquaintance, or a beloved character from a storybook. This is how memory becomes nostalgia. They are two very different things—the same way that a person is different from a photograph of a person. »
Stay Awake, by Dan Chaon.
Pour souligner le 10ième anniversaire de création du blogue de Laurent Gloaguen, Embruns, j’ai remis en ligne un billet que j’avais publié sur ni vu ni connu au début de l’année 2003. J’avais demandé aux blogueurs de m’envoyer une photo de l’endroit à partir duquel ils bloguaient. Inutile de dire qu’à l’époque, personne ne publiait grâce à son téléphone ou sa tablette numérique!
C’est joliment rétro, avec des ordinateurs d’une taille impressionnante. Sur les 30 blogues présentés, 14 sont des liens morts, 6 ont déménagé vers une nouvelle adresse et 10 sont toujours actifs au même endroit et publient encore plusieurs fois par année. Tout de même persévérants, les « early adopters »!
I find the question of how new media and new technologies influence writing immensely fascinating!
« At a time when new media are proliferating, it is tempting to imagine that authors, thinking about how their writing will appear on devices such as electronic readers, tablet computers, or smartphones, consciously or unconsciously adapt their prose to the exigencies of publishing platforms. But that’s not what actually happens. […]
Egan, Gould, Sebald, Kerouac, and Baker were all writing in eras when new media were everywhere, but what computer scientists call « platform shift » did not get their juices going. The technologies of composition did. Why this should be so is not mysterious. The explanation is that literary writers are solitary creatures: their days are spent alone, with keyboards and pens under their fingers and a humming photocopying machine down the road at the university. Those things are real, and what one can do with them exciting, while websites, e-readers, and even books seem abstractions, mere mechanisms of distribution. »
