Text, Medium, Afterlife: Intertextuality and Intermediality in the Works of Yoko Tawada

Text, Medium, Afterlife: Intertextuality and Intermediality in the Works of Yoko Tawada examines the roles of personal and mass media technologies in the works of contemporary German-language author Yoko Tawada. The study analyses the author\u27s prose fiction, wherein the possibility of limitless textual permutations - an afterlife of the text - is accessed through a web of intertextual and intermedial associations. The expression of an individual voice against a dominant culture\u27s mass media mobilizes a discourse of networks which emerges from the creative gaps and apertures revealed by the author\u27s deconstructive approach to language and literatures
