E-mail

On this section Michael Joyce answered to my mail explaining me how can I be inform about his work and how to see the space’s perspectives. Here I attach the mail that I sent to M. Joyce and his reply.

E-mail sent by me:

Dear Michael Joyce,

My name is Alejandro Aparici. I'm from Valencia's University in

Spain. I´m studying English Studies.

One of my subjects for this year is Narrative and I have choosen one of

your works, 'Twelve Blue'because I think it is an interesting hypertext.

My work is about the 'Space' and I'm a little bit lost and i would like

if you could help me sending me information about the "Space" you were

wiriting it.

Sincerelly

Alejandro Aparici Sánchez

Reply from M. Joyce:

                    Dear Alejandro Aparici Sánchez,

Thank you for your kind inquiry about Twelve

Blue. By far the best introduction to that work

is Chapter Two of N. Katherine Hayles' book,

Electronic Literature:  New Horizons for the

Literary (Notre Dame:  University of Notre Dame

Press, 2008).  The chapter is a revised version

of"Intermediation: The Pursuit of a Vision,"  an

essay Hayles previously published inNew Literary

History - Volume 38, Number 1, Winter 2007, pp.

99-125, attached here.

Long before that Gregory L. Ulmer,, published "A

Response to Twelve Blue by Michael Joyce" in

Postmodern Culture - Volume 8, Number 1, September 1997, also attached.

  I also assume you are aware of Susana Pajares

Tosca's site Hipertulia which she describes as

"na página dedicada al hipertexto y a la

hiperficción que quiere cubrir parcialmente el

vacío que existe en castellano sobre estos

asuntos,"

http://www.ucm.es/info/especulo/hipertul/bienven.htm

I want to respond to your  questions in a way

that you find useful to your purposes but wonder

whether it might not be more economical to first

provide you with some links to previous

interviews where I discuss my hypertexts and

other work. My most recent interview accompanied

a review/essay regarding my recent print novel

Liam's Going and was published by the  trAce

Online Writing Centre at The Nottingham Trent

University,

http://trace.ntu.ac.uk/Review/index.cfm?article=33

A review of that same novel in the electronic

book review (ebr) by Dave Ciccoricco to my mind

considers many of the issues I addressed in

'Twelve Blue"

http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/endconstruction/dialectical

Ciccoricco has also written reviews of my

hypertext "Twilight, a Symphony"

http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/endconstruction/notanend

and  an essay about my retreat from the web,

http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/electropoetics/tropical

As for the web interviews a wide-ranging

interview from 2001 with Jan-Hendrik Bakker,

"Hypertext and the human factor. Narrativity

after modernism. A conversation with Michael

Joyce." is at  Centrum voor Filosofie & Kunst,

Erasmus University of Rotterdam,

http://www2.eur.nl/fw/cfk/kunsten/hypertext.shtml

I am also fond of the conversation in "One on One

with Camille Renshaw," Pif Magazine 2000,

http://www.pifmagazine.com/vol32/i_m_joyce.shtml

Two other earlier interviews of interest are:

Digital Culture, Interview with Ralph Lombreglia,

Atlantic UnBound 1996.

http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/digicult/dc9611/joyce.htm

"Hypertextual Berlin," by David Hudson,ReWired

September 8th, 1997

http://www.rewired.com/97/0908.html

If you are not sick of me by the time you've read

these interviews and/or still have questions, let

me know.

Best wishes for your project

Michael
