Final Project for "Medieval Manuscripts to New Media." Meredith Hitchcock.
An examination of the ways in which technology determines how we tell stories, looking specifically at the cell phone. Cell phone novels are written and read on cell phones by young women in Japan. One might argue that the content is uninteresting: the plots usually touch on broken hearts, violence, scandal, and fatal diseases. But does the negative reaction they've received from older groups have as much to do with their perception of cell phones as with the novels themselves? How can the cell phone novel, which on the surface looks like a dramatic break from the paper novel, make us reflect on our cultural assumptions about the technology of the book?
