ReimaginingWriting
see for ideas and fit: HowTheWikiChangesWriting
From the middle of the GutenbergParenthesis, in the LateAgeOfPrint, people are experimenting with wikis to reimagine writing in a new space.
It's early days.
To really reimagine writing, we need to clear away loads of preconceptions about how writing seems to work that are laced with GutenbergBaggage.
- the idea of the single, isolated author
- the idea of the coherent text
- the idea of the unchanging text
- the idea of the authoritative text
- the privileging of the word alone over word and image
- the presumed split between writer and reader: ReaderWriterAuthorship, RedefiningBoundaries
