This volume builds on the first decade of work in new media research within English studies, following (and also breaking from) the longer history of hypertext theory. The book defines new media only in as much as the individual chapters do so, setting the field as materially rich, ever-changing, and remediating itself, and kairotic.

RAW, as its name stands for, focuses on reading and writing practices in new media. In the Reading section, those practices range from close, rhetorical, critical, cultural and posthuman readings of databases, Flash texts, protohypertexts, university Web sites, and the lives of new media themselves. In the Writing section, authors address pedagogical issues including the changes in teaching new media fro 10 years ago, students’ identities in online spaces, teachers as first-time composers, and issues of curriculum, access and space design. Overlap between the two sections is obvious and purposeful.
