Abstract
What do we talk about when we talk about reading and how has this changed in a digital age? Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Ambient Literature: Towards a New Poetics of Situated Writing and Reading Practices (2021) addresses the complications of this question by providing accounts of technologically-assisted and embodied reading experiences that interact with ‘the visual, sonic, social and historical resources of places’. Ambient Literature shifts our attention to the under-researched sensory entanglements between the act of reading, embodiment, city life, and most importantly, their foregrounding and enablement by networking technologies.
