Abstract

In today’s world we encounter an expanded concept of textuality based on words-imag-
es-(virtual) bodies that are arranged with respect to a spatial and temporal grammar. The new
media shaped text as a textual service follows the performative turn by deploying verbal and
non-verbal components, blanks, empty space, and vanishing letters. Such a text challenges
not-just-readng as a new mode of complex textual experience.
