About HyperrhizHyperrhiz: New Media Cultures provides a forum for experimental new media projects (both critical and creative) located outside or across current disciplinary boundaries. New thinking need not follow established patterns. We at Hyperrhiz oppose the idea that knowledge must grow in a tree structure from previously accepted ideas. Instead, we are interested in the creative potential of thinking as a nodal process. As our name suggests, works written in the spirit of Deleuzian approaches are welcomed but not required. We value works that are nomadic in nature: place-less but not lost. Like the nomad, we encourage migrations into new conceptual territories resulting from unpredictable juxtapositions: of the material, the virtual, the oral, the visual, the textual, the tactile. These interleavings of words and practices, expressed as electronic meditations, are the literature of the Deleuzian technological nomad. publication detailsHyperrhiz: New Media Cultures the peer-reviewed sister journal of Rhizomes: Cultural Studies in Emerging Knowledge, is produced with the support of the University of Maryland Baltimore County Department of English. Hyperrhiz is published twice-yearly, with additional dynamic content available year round. ISSN Citation Founding Editors Editor Reviews Editor Advisory Editors Editorial Assistant fair use policyHyperrhiz follows the Media Commons Fair Use Policy articulated by USC: MediaCommons is a strong advocate for the right of media scholars to quote from the materials they analyze, as protected by the principle of "fair use." If such quotation is necessary to a scholar's argument, if the quotation serves to support a scholar's original analysis or pedagogical purpose, and if the quotation does not harm the market value of the original text -- but rather, and on the contrary, enhances it -- we must defend the scholar's right to quote from the media texts under study. In general, submitters of work to Hyperrhiz should consider applying the fair use four-factor test articulated here. |
