Grammalepsy : Essays on Language Art, Paperback by Cayley, John, ISBN 1501363182, ISBN-13 9781501363184, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on and recontextualizing writings from the last twenty years of John Cayley's research-based practice of electronic literature, Grammalepsy introduces a theory of aesthetic linguistic practice developed specifically for the making and critical appreciation of language art in media. As he examines the cultural shift away from traditional print literature and the changes in our culture of reading, Cayley coins the term “grammalepsy” to inform those processes by which we make, understand, and appreciate language. Framing his previous writings within the overall context of this theory, Cayley eschews the tendency of literary critics and writers to reduce aesthetic linguistic making-even when it has multimedia affordances-to “writing.” Instead, Cayley argues that electronic literature and language art allow aesthetic language makers to embrace a compositional practice inextricably involved with media, which cannot be reduced to print-dependent textuality.
