Rose is not granted any real agency, sexual or otherwise.

Symmetry is fearful precisely because it engenders the absolute annihilation of the diegetic world of the comic

The balance of the structure might lend a momentary euphoric feeling, a revelatory moment that would seem to make all the elements of the issue come into a clearer focus.

Here, we see a very asymmetrical tiger, one who is clearly not that ferocious.

And yet, this interest is based upon Blake's marginality; he signifies alienation itself

he evidence for such schemata is the way they allow an artist to produce surprising variations and unpredictable deviations from standard poses, which are nevertheless still coherent with the character's subjective unity

As it shows up in the comic page, the gaze exposes the spectator to being looked at by the panels from a multiplicity of places at the same time, rendering the spectator simultaneously constituted and fragmented by this kaleidoscopically dispersed gaze.

interruptions between panels cannot be straightforward transcriptions of the "real," which, for Lacan, resists symbolization absolutely, because the shapes and sizes of the blank spaces between panels place constraints on the kinds of images that can show up in adjacent panels.

the magic word: the commands you type into a computer are a kind of speech that doesn't so much communicate as make things happen, directly and ineluctably, the same way pulling a trigger does.

Literacy and access to writing materials were a pre-requisite for diary-writing. Quantitative self-representations are dependent on other forms of literacy: understanding counting, tables and graphs for instance. For digital forms of quantitative self-representation, we need to understand not only both these basic forms of numeracy and data literacy but also some procedural literacies (Mateas 2005).

Just as the camera taking the photograph is visible in digital self-portraits taken in a mirror, so early photogra-phers often included the tool of their trade in their self-portraits.

were written by priests and nuns, who were more likely than others to have learned to read and write.

visual, written and quantitative.

In today’s digital culture, the three modes are intertwined. Digital self-representation is conversational and allows new voices to be heard. However, society disciplines digital self-representations such as selfies and blogs through ridicule and pathologising.

Outcomes

I can guarantee that if you have a domain of your own stuff will break. It will break in some predictable, easy-to-fix ways and probably in some totally weird, tearing-your-hair out kind of ways. Your students will experience this too. And it will be frustrating and terrible. And it will not be standardized or easily consumed. It will not be easily defined or put in a box. It will be gloriously, awfully messy. And you may have to switch directions or gears, and I hope that when you do you talk to your students about what happened and why it happened — and that you work together to try and figure this out.

Once you have programmatic access to the content of the library, screwing around potentially becomes a far more illuminating and useful activity

Hayles argues that this statement only works if this statement is substantive, "a negation converted into the looming threat of something," although this "something" can only be "negation itself, working to obliterate our everyday assumptions about reality" (788). This claim, however, does not go far enough—within the House negation works to obliterate reality itself. Everything about the House makes you wish to leave it, but it extends and swallows anything with which it comes into contact. This is what might be termed "the revenge of non-Being," as the House attempts to destroy blindly any form of presence with which it comes into contact.

in House of Leaves, consciousness is never seen apart from mediating inscription devices.

First, and tellingly for this poem, it enhances the significance of the page's white space, which now appears as a poetic equivalent for the physical "nothing" of snow.

Perhaps even more crucially, deformance reveals the special inner resources that texts have when they are constituted poetically. Nor do judgments about the putative quality of the poem matter. Good, bad, mediocre poems, by whatever measure or judgment: in so far as they are poetically made, they share this special kind of intelligibility.
