Just as agents seeking to express themselves in alphabetic writing need to be literate, "egents" who seek to express themselves in digital media need to be--to use a term coined by cybertheorist Gregory Ulmer--electrate. In Inter/vention, Jan Holmevik helps to invent electracy. He does so by tracing its path across the digital and rhetorical landscape--informatics, hacker heuretics, ethics, pedagogy, virtual space, and monumentality--and by introducing play as a new genre of electracy. Play, he argues, is the electrate ludic transversal. Holmevik contributes to the repertoire of electrate practices in order to understand and demonstrate how play invents electracy. Holmevik's argument straddles two divergences: in rhetoric, between how we study rhetoric as play and how we play rhetorically and in game studies, between ludology and narratology. Game studies has forged ludology practice by distinguishing it from literate practice (and often allying itself with the scientific tradition). Holmevik is able to link ludology and rhetoric through electracy. Play can and does facilitate invention: Play invented the field of ludology, Holmevik proposes a new heuretic in which play acts as a conductor for the invention of electracy. Play is a meta behavior that touches on every aspect of Ulmer's concept of electracy. 001387806 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001387806 650_0 $$aMass media$$xPhilosophy. 001387806 650_0 $$aDigital media$$xPhilosophy. 001387806 650_0 $$aMass media$$xTechnological innovations. 001387806 650_0 $$aMass media and technology. 001387806 653__ $$aGAME STUDIES/General 001387806 653__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Media Studies 001387806 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001387806 852__ $$bebk 001387806 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9162.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001387806 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001387806 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1387806$$pGLOBAL_SET 001387806 980__ $$aBIB 001387806 980__ $$aEBOOK 001387806 982__ $$aEbook 001387806 983__ $$aOnline
