Description: "In E-Crit, Marcel O'Gorman takes a look at how university scholarship, pedagogy, and curricula might be transformed to suit a digital culture. Arguing that universities were founded on the logic of print culture, O'Gorman sets out to reinvent the academic apparatus, constructing a hybrid methodology that draws on avant-garde art, deconstructive theory, cognitive science, and the work of painter and poet William Blake. E-Crit is essential reading for anyone concerned with the practice - and future - of the humanities in higher education."--Jacket.
