	Book Review of Bolter
		In laying out his argument, Bolter claims that as a technology of reading and writing the computer is the fourth great medium in the history of literacy, and that it will "take its place beside the ancient papyrus roll, the medieval codex, and the printed book" (6).
		Bolter argues that the value of AI is not its programmers' promises for what it may someday do, but that "it shows how the computer can redefine the relationship between the writer and writing surface, as it incorporates the writer into the book in a new way" (175).
		Bolter's first argument is that we must pay attention to and work to prevent the growing disparity between those who have access to technology and technologic literacy and those who do not (223-224).

	Writing Space
		Peirce's concept of the "man-sign" figures mightily in Bolter's formulation; in the subsection entitled "A New Republic of Letters," Bolter extrapolates Peirce's notion to assert that "For the new readers and writers, the human mind itself becomes a text to be fashioned and explored according to the principles of the electronic writing space" (206).
		Bolter's text, then, represents an attempt to reproduce a curious sort of designed space, a space out of which emerges both electronic text and, albeit in printed format, the structural conditions requisite to such text.
		Bolter is, of course, aware of this; he writes, for instance, that even though "hypertext has become the social ideal," enabling a heretofore unprecedented "freedom of choice," it is likewise the case that "for many Americans this ultimate freedom is not available" (233).

	A Review of _Writing Space_ (2nd Edition)
		Ten years ago Jay David Bolter published Writing Space: Computers, Hypertext, and the History of Writing (hereafter WS1), and it shortly became one of the major scholarly works exploring and defining the new phenomenon of hypertext as a far-reaching development in the history of writing.
		Bolter’s work in computer science and his roots in classical studies, along with broad historical knowledge, gave him a unique perspective from which he argued for the importance of digital writing as a personal, aesthetic, economic, academic, and cultural activity.
		Bolter’s revision of his 1991 book attempts to accomplish this – to update our conceptualizing of the new writing space in light of our more extensive experience with digital literacy technologies and with major structural developments in our electronic world.

	Bolter
		Bolter discusses his theory of “remediation,” in which old standards of literacy from print are transferred onto hypertext, while standards of writing from hypertext are reflected back onto print media, creating a situation of constant and reciprocal change.
		Bolter argues that the qualities of hypertext are changing the standards of writing from those of print media (linear, autonomous, univocal, static) to those of hypertext, which are collaborative, associative, multivocal and changeable.
		Bolter discusses many genres and aspects of print and hypertext, including the changing faces of libraries, visual aspects of text, new fiction and narratives, identity, culture and critical theory.

		Bolter and Grusin both teach in Georgia Tech's School of Language, Communication, and Culture, the academic department which perhaps more than any other has attempted a wholesale make-over of its institutional identity in order to create an interdisciplinary focal point for the critical study of new media.
		Bolter and Grusin go on to note that, "other and perhaps better examples (both of hypermediacy and remediation) will no doubt appear, as each new event tops the previous ones in its excitement or the audacity of its claims to immediacy" (270).
		True, Bolter and Grusin's narrative of media forms is not linear (or rather, it is not chronological), but their narrative is also "documentary" only in the most casual sense and it operates at a level of detail far removed from Foucault's trademark archival research.

		Bolter places us in a transitional period, one which is moving print based media toward the margin of what we consider as texts.
		Bolter's perception complicates some of the points raised by Marcia Peoples Halio in "Student Writing: Can the Machine Maim the Message?" Halio suggests that a shift in focus away from typographic writing is dangerous and should be challenged.
		Bolter's work suggests that the danger of the shifting emphasis toward graphics that troubles Halio may be an inevitable part of the emerging trend toward electronic texts.

		In terms of general positioning, Bolter and Grusin are professors of New Media studies.
		They are not concerned so much with the past or future (the predictive mode), they want to take a snapshot of the present state of media and that which constitutes it.
		Bolter and Grusin spend most of the text testing the idea of remediation against various and far ranging media including games, photography, art, film, TV, virtual and augmented reality, the web, malls, Disney world and so on.

	Jay David Bolter,
		Jay David Bolter's study of hypertext and the history of writing from cuneiform and hieroglyphics to the computer is quite simply the finest book about hypertext available.
		In a valuable introductory chapter that offers definitions of hypertext and hypermedia, Bolter argues that they represent only the the latest kind of writing space, and by this term, he explains, he means the "physical and visual field defined by a particular technology of writing.
		Bolter's text comes in two versions, and having commented upon the print form, I would now like to turn to its electronic instantiation.

		Bolter, well-known as a theorist and historian of digital technology, is the co-author of Remediation: Understanding New Media (2000).
		The particular intervention they perform is arguing that the proper function of "digital artifacts" is to be both a transparent vehicle ["window"] onto information or experience and a reflective experience ["mirror"] -- that is, a potential moment of critical awareness and engagement with the technology itself.
		Bolter and Gromala argue that digital art is integral to the experimentation that pushes digital design and human-computer interaction into new realms of experience.

	Remediation: Understanding New Media
		Even if Bolter and Grusin had refused to privilege the social, cultural, or technical constituents of media, but left the subject to arrange them into frameworks of his own devising, they would have left us with a more plausible theory of media.
		[16] Subjects remain embedded in discourse, or in the case of Bolter and Grusin in a social-technical-cultural complex that is a medium, a medium that is always prior to the subject.
		Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin do not provide a clear construct of cultural change, nor do they provide an assessment of the relative importance of media, communication technologies, and human subjects as constituents of cultural change.

		In fact, Bolter and Grusin acknowledge the different emphases of the book's chapters in their introduction and offer readers a guide to help them make the most of their experience with the book, with respect to the readers' goals.
		Bolter and Grusin attempt to contextualize their theories about new media within the framework of modern preoccupations with what they term "immediacy" and "hypermediacy." The desire for immediacy is a desire for a transparency in media that obliterates or lessens the perception of the media themselves in the viewer's mind.
		Bolter and Grusin also examine in detail whether the new media have implications for the mind-body split that is central to the theory of Cartesian dualism.

		Jay David Bolter is known to many for his seminal Writing Space: The Computer, Hypertext, and the History of Writing (1991), as co-author (with Richard Grusin) of the provocative Remediation: Understanding New Media (1999), and as co-creator (with Michael Joyce, John B. Smith, and Mark Bernstein) of the groundbreaking hypertext writing software Storyspace (1987-2005).
		Bolter and Gromala argue, though, that Weiser and the others are wrong to predict the demise of the intruding, visible interface.
		Bolter and Gromala regularly descend into common sense and allow that a large degree of transparency may indeed be necessary and desirable, that the point is actually to achieve a balance.

		In this chapter, Bolter focuses on changes in typography that have appeared with the advent of electronic text.
		Bolter remarks in conclusion that hypertext authors will need to learn not only how to work in these new dimensions, but to see their text as a temporal experience unfolding for the reader.
		Bolter begins by surveying the development of print culture, and argues that the technology itself deceived its practitioners into believing that they might be able to create something stable and of lasting value.

	Today Only (Friday): Jay David Bolter at USF \| Kairosnews
		Jay David Bolter, author of Writing Spaces and Remediation is here at USF today teaching an all day class.
		If it's not clear, Bolter felt that weblogs were important culturally and therefore were valuable in the class as an authentic genre of discourse active outside the academy.
		He would primarily be interested, I think, in how weblogs remediate conventions of previous media, such as those associated with journalism, diaries, or even memos and progress reports in the field of business.

		But, as Bolter explains, literature can be seen as "any group of writings on a well-defined subject." So while I'm still not sure how well a novel would work on the screen, I am starting to appreciate the benefits of the hierarchical structure of the web.
		Bolter won me over in his discussion of the emphasis that hypertext consequently puts on process.
		He associates hypertext with modernism, and that movement's ability to draw the reader to the medium.

	A Review of _Remediation_
		We knew (and hoped dearly) such a synthesis was coming, if not from Bolter and Grusin, from someone with their considerable expertise in media technologies.
		What Bolter and Grusin provide is a thoroughly articulated exposé of how we got here, or there, and with some deliberation on our part, we can imagine where we're headed.
		That said, let me also say/write that I think Remediation is an insightful book because of Bolter and Grusin's relentless tracking down of implications in the "double logic of remediation" (2) and the concepts of remediation, immediacy, transparent immediacy, hypermediacy, and mediation.
