Reconciling what is and was: hybrid and remixed literature in an environmental time
Reconciling what is and was: hybrid and remixed literature in an environmental time

Summary/Abstract: Recent literary developments, in digital culture and in marginal and hybrid forms, offer us new ways to reconcile our relationship with time, history and human agency. Remixed and hybrid forms, as shown, can unify disparate rhythms and frames, different temporal references from different historical periods, in one synthesized rhythmico-temporal environment. In a perceiving subject, the experience highlights a general poiesis of making and presents itself as a form of agency that can be applied to everyday life through an enhanced understanding of time, rhythm and material culture.
