ABSTRACT
This chapter details an interview with Wayne de Fremery. In this interview, Wayne de Fremery explores what it means to think about texts and textual transmission as living processes. Michelle R. Warren points out that ‘analogies have often been drawn between the human body’ and ‘physical texts’. Bibliography concerns the ‘writing out’ of ‘books’. It has traditionally been understood as the scribal practice of copying and then as the study of how books came to be ‘written out’, i.e., all the technologies and social practices associated with producing texts. Karen Barad has a useful term: ‘intra-action’ – interactions that do not assume a priori relationships between documentary apparatuses and the phenomena that they document. The idea of ‘cyborg textuality’ and ‘becoming media’ can be related – both are productive metaphors for investigating the woven nature of media.
