<splintering>

Umbes

is a collection of fragments relating to text, new technologies, identity, gender and language. Both text and language are considered in their broadest contexts: as entities which transmute as they voyage across the parallel virtualities of technology and readerly space. I argue that identity is splintered enmeshments ... There are no strict conclusions in this composite text which I regard as always already entangling with a vast world (while it is being read): that of the multi-faceted virtual realities of its reader(s). © Diane Caney, 2000
