Beschreibung
The metaphor of the net has inspired literary studies for years as the importance of the web as a real life dispositif has kept increasing. These ten essays show the importance of networks to thought and culture even long before the invention of telecommunications. They present a range of possible applications of various network approaches from ancient Icelandic and courtly Scandinavian literature, via Uppsala romanticism, the Flemish movement, and french modernists, up to recent Norwegian poetics. Meanwhile, a critical stance at the theories' epistemic value also has its place in this volume.
