Gastvortrag von Prof. Orhan Kipcak im Rahmen der Interface Cultues Invited Lecture Series.

The New Media Revolution has shaped new paradigms for the literary  production too.
These phenomena are – shortly summarised:
hyper‑textualisiation, mediatisation, the development of new  communicative and collaborative scenarios of text production, new ways  of distribution and value‑chains in connection with medial products  like texts are. This phenomenons are important for writers and  media artists as well as for the teaching of the arts.
The lecture  will present authorial and curricular concepts dealing with these topics and will show some of their results
