[ecrea] New book: Digital Temporalities. Analysis of time in new media and interactive narratives

New book (in Spanish): "Digital Temporalities. Analysis of time in new 
media and interactive narratives" UOC-Press Comunicación.

Abstract:

This book is a theoretical approach to the study of time in interactive 
audiovisual works, a subject being continuously transformed due to the 
constant advance of information and communication technologies. It is 
now relevant to study time as the digital media are generating multiple 
temporal configurations strongly conditioned by new digital interfaces, 
mobile devices and networks.These temporal configurations are identified 
and analysed in the book through cybertext works, interactive web 
narratives, digital artworks and videogames. The present book is aimed 
at establishing a new analysis’ framework for all those interactive 
audiovisual temporalities from two perspectives: first, from a narrative 
organisation, their uses and temporal processing; and second, their 
experience and perception.
